Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Sofia. I am a privately insured full-time dog walker and sitter! I have experience with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have 6+ years of professional pet care experience having previously worked for two Los Angeles based pet care companies, and lifelong personal experience with animals. I love getting outside and exploring with dogs or playing with cats on a visit. I also have one cat and three senior dogs of my own, so four very spoiled and loved animals! Outside of pet care I'm an LA native who loves gardening, the beach, movies, crafting, and the Dodgers. As a pet owner myself, I know how nervous you may feel when leaving your pets in the care of someone else. My goal is to make your life and your pets life as easy and as comfortable as possible, and I do that by staying in constant communication with you, following your notes and preferences, caring for your pets responsibly, and always treating them with respect and love. Also I love taking photos of pups and cats and like to chronicle them on my pet care Instagram: @sofiawalks.la. Feel free to check it out and let me know if I can feature your pet!
Reviews
Sofia is the sweetest animal sitter on the Rover app. With her gentle demeanor and genuine love for furry friends, Sofia goes above and beyond to ensure every one of my pets in her care feels like royalty and is spoiled with love. From cuddle sessions to adventurous walks, she tailors her services to meet the unique needs of each of my animals. I’m such a grateful pet parent for her. Plus, she delights me with regular updates and adorable photos of my babies, providing peace of mind and joy while we’re away. With Sofia, your fur babies are not just pets; they're family, showered with love and attention every step of the way 🥰
Felt very safe having Sofia housesit for our dog. She came to the house several times beforehand to help acclimate the dog, which was very helpful.
Sofia was an excellent sitter! She was really communicative, sent us great updates and photos every time she stopped by and followed our senior kitties food/supplement schedule. We knew our kitty was in good hands while we were gone and we would absolutely have her sit for us again!
Sofia did a great job house sitting for our two dogs! She was on time and very communicative. Thanks Sofia!

When doing overnight sitting, where I spend the night in your home, I like to follow the owner's routine and preferences as this makes the dog/cats life less stressful while you are away. Meet and greets before a sitting are a great way for me to learn about your routine and preferences before a sit. Some owners have also provided detailed sheets that mention feeding schedules, emergency vet phone numbers, and home care instructions. Also, I send super cute frequent photo/video updates and am a very neat and tidy person in your home.
Information Sofia M. would like to know about your pet
Please feel free to let me know if your animal has any routine, medication, or behavior that I can accommodate during their stay. I have experience with anxious pets, shy pets, and all types of medication administration so feel free to let me know. Let me know if you are working on a specific training skill that I should be enforcing! Tell me about their favorite toy, treat, or activity.
A typical day
Hikes or walks, sniffing and exploring the neighborhood; I love getting outside to explore or playing inside. Snuggling and pets are always included. Plus, lots of attention towards your animal with frequent photo/video updates. Let me know if your pet has a favorite park, walking route, or activity.
