Where the dog house is a good thing
Pet care experience
I’ve loved dogs since high school (over 12+ years), and simply fell deeper in love when I got my first furbaby. Raising and training Nellie (our Yorkshire terrier) opened up a new world for me, meeting and spending time with other furbabies and their parents. Dogs are my happy place and I aim to be theirs as well. Since finding my fur-passion, I began to petsit for others, so that Nellie had company and to help folks in the community with petcare. From snuggles, to playtime, to walks, to obedience training, folks started to call me the pet whisperer. So for me, joining rover is simply just expanding that network of care for folks that would like support in caring for their 4 legged children. My husband and I treat our dogs like family and yours will be no different!
About Sofia L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in, large (just shy of being under .5 acre) yard, with free range for dog exercise and play time. We have two friendly, trained dogs to keep your fur baby company; but can also separate them from your furbaby if preferred. We can provide outside time on or off leash (based on fur-parent preference) as well. Already having experience with walking two or more dogs (since we currently have dog walking and play time built into our daily schedule), makes for a seamless shift, to provide your furbaby with that same level of quality attention. We also have extra bowls (at separate feeding areas per dog) for water and food; with a backup supply of extra kibble, just in case. I also have varying sized, clean crates available, if that’s desired (for training purposes, eating, sleeping, etc.), extra harnesses and leashes and a plethora of toys for indoor playtime. We have beds in every room on the first floor of the house and also allow the dogs on our furniture (if fur-parent allows them). Last but not least, we have dog insurance for our furbabies, which comes with 24/7 veterinarian care access, that we can easily contact to consult for any concerns that may occur with your furbaby, in the event of an emergency. Your furbaby will be protected with us, guaranteed!
Home
Information Sofia L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special accommodations needed, for me to account for and adequately prepare for. Also if there are particular things you want me to do during my time with them, I’m happy to accommodate!
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. We’ll play a bunch of games, playtime with toys and sniff the neighborhood parks, for all the smells their little hearts can handle until they grin with joy!

Availability
I have flexibility in my schedule. Generally I have open availability on the weekends, to provide a comfortable, safe and fun home for your furbaby! I’m off seasonally for extended weeks at a time or am able to work remotely, which expands my availability to during the weekdays as well (rover calendar/schedule will reflect those times and days).
