Dog Trainer Cat Whisperer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pet care experience

Your pet, their safety, their emotional well-being, and your peace of mind are my priority! I’m Rover 101 certified! I’m an experienced cat/dog/horse owner and trainer. I strictly believe in the gentle approach and that patience can turn even an anxious, or worse, aggressive pet into a peaceful respectful best friend. I am skilled with puppies (dogs younger than one year), kittens (still requiring bottle feeding), and seniors (as old as 19 years) and their extensive medication schedule/needs. In the recent visits I have been tailored my gentle approach to senior animals and understand that their care is very unique. On the flip side & upon request, let me take your energetic pup on a run as long as you’d like (not exceeding 10 miles for their safety and well-being ALWAYS in mind). I‘m FULLY INSURED and will be reachable 24/7 when your pet is in my care, guaranteed! I grew up with cats, dogs, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, pigs, and donkeys. I require minimal guidance for you to rest assured that your pets are in the best of care. Upon request I am available for DOG TRAINING/ basic safety skills such as walking on leash without pulling and focusing on you instead of squirrels. 🐿️

Sofia did a great job! She was very thorough and attentive to details about how to take care of our kitties. She took lots of pictures and gave very thorough updates while I was away so I was always reassured that my cats were in good hands and well taken care of. I also booked her services relatively last minute, but she was very quick to respond, communicative, and flexible with me so we could arrange everything very quickly. She is fantastic and I would definitely book with her again!

Sofia M was the absolute perfect dog sitter. My dog is very old with a few medical issues and Sofia took her in and treated her like she belonged and was loved. My dog is very loving and craves attention and cuddles and petting. Sofia M was up to the task and then some. She was caring, devoted, loving, welcoming and empathetic. It was a match made in heaven. I am so happy my dog stayed with Sofia.
