Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your homes, I always pay close attention to feeding, care, walking, playing, and supervision instructions. I understand your pets are part of your family, and I treat them as I would my own. I'll ensure your home is left clean, tidy, and comfortable for your pets. I'm happy to include one walk a day in my dogsitting services, and I always send daily photo updates!

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs and any notes on their behaviour: specific feeding instructions and/or diet, recall, behaviour towards other dogs, walking tendencies, or anything else to account for.

A typical day

I'll make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you are away! We'll go on enriching walks and explore new smells of the neighbourhood, play with their favourite toys, and get lots of cuddles.

Pet care experience

Hi there, I’m Sofia! I recently moved out to Victoria from Ontario with my partner last summer. I’m happy to keep your pets company in your space, or drop-in to care for them while you're away. I’ve been an animal lover since childhood. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals in my family — it was especially hard to say goodbye to my family dog, Harlow, before our move to Victoria (she’s the brindle pug-mix cutie in my profile photo). We were able to bring our cat Robin out with us, and she did great on the road trip. We’ve since adopted a second cat, Josie, a super sweet and affectionate girl. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even birds. I’m patient, compassionate, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I love lending a helping hand to anyone looking for care for their fur-babies. I’m on Rover because I want to help you help keep your pet happy and healthy, with considerate care, while taking stress off your schedule. I am happy to care for small to medium sized dogs, as well as cats. I do not work with aggressive or very large animals. I have experience dog and cat sitting for a variety of breeds and behaviours. I always pay close attention to your care instructions for your pet and give them lots of love. Check out my 'About' section for more of my details, plus take a peek at my photo gallery for some of the pets I’ve cared for while their owners have been away! Send me a message, I’d be happy to help you and your pets!

Sofia was awesome with my two little chihuahuas. One of them had a challenging medication schedule that she completed with ease, great communication with photos and write ups while I was away. I would book her again in a heart beat! Thanks Sofia!!

Sofia watched our little boy while we were away and couldn't have done a better job! She gave us so much peace of mind staying with him over night and taking such good care of him. He really enjoyed her company and she sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated. We couldn't recommend her enough and will be having her watch our cat again in the future for sure!

Sofia did a fantastic job house sitting for Willow! Her communication was excellent, my home was very clean when I returned, and Willow was safe, healthy and happy throughout her stay! I felt completely at ease and would highly recommend Sofia. I look forward to booking her again to house sit for Willow.
