Friendly & Loving, but Responsible!

Albeit having no years of 'professional' caring, I have been a dog and cat mom all of my life. Since I was born my family has had 2-3 dogs and 5-6 cats at a time on our farm, and I raised, trained and took care of all of them myself since my parents were not too big on animals. The sole reason we had so many is because we lived on a farm and I adored them. Every year of my life I have cared for at least one animal or another, ever since I was in grade school. For cats and dogs alike, I myself used to bathe them, feed them, groom them and take them to the vet if they were sick. As of right now, I have no animals to look after, so I would love to put those skills to good use. This being said, I have ample experience with animals, and I adore them. I have babysat animals for my friends several times, always without incident. I understand their signs and needs, have plenty of patience and can be gentle but firm when needed. I treat them as if they were my own children. I am also a trained emergency service medical provider, so I know how to perform first aid and lifesaving measures if need be (not that it will ever be needed, don't worry!). I am flexible with the services I provide: if your pet has any special needs/medications that they need to take/any sicknesses, or anything else, inform me and I will be happy to babysit for them and care for them for as long as you need! Some of the services I can provide include but are not limited to: bathing, walking, training, and cuddling! I will treat your babies with love and kindness while you're away! Rest assured, they will be in good, trained hands. I currently work from home, and would have no problem going on walks or playing games such as fetch to tire out high energy dogs! I already have a daily routine with my own dog, which consists of taking him on regular potty breaks, brushing his teeth, and playing games to tire him out if its too cold to go on walks outside! We have a yard thats not fenced in, but have lines and long leashes to take your fur baby outside! There is one senior dog, one younger dog, and to cats all to give company to your pet! Both dogs are very friendly, and the cats mostly keep to themselves in the room. The dogs will always be in my sight, so that we can hang out, play, and I can tend to their needs! There are plenty of toys to share, plenty of treats to go around (unless stated otherwise) and plenty of friends to play with.

Sofia was amazing! Yoshi was concerned about being left, Sofia pampered Yoshi and her friendly puppies made him feel at home.

Our girl D is fairly sensitive and we have had issues with boarding in the past. This weekend D had her first stay with Sofia and her boys. D had a fantastic stay and without a doubt made new buddies this weekend! Sofia is amazing- she was reassuring, flexible and updated us with very fun photos (including some with her participation in a birthday party). Even our adult children who are away, enjoyed the photos and were happy to see D having fun. ... My husband and I are thrilled to have Sofia nearby-we will without hesitation be using her services again in the future! Muchas gracias, Sofia!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 10, 2022

My pups have stayed with Sofia, Hank, and Pepper twice now and they come home happy and tired from all the playing!!(: I’m super protective of my pups (like they’re my children!) and trust Sofia totally with them! She sends updates, pictures, etc. constantly and listens/follows our care instructions totally. Will continue to bring Arya and Jorah to Sofia because we are nothing but pleased!! (She also is super accommodating with last minute scheduling which has been SO helpful to us!!!) Can’t thank Sofia enough!!!😊

Sofia was great! She was very flexible, accommodating, and friendly. She took great care of my high-energy pup and sent a bunch of pictures and videos during his stay!

Pets

A typical day

We have a lot of games that we can play at home, like tossing around a ball, tug of war, puzzles that they can do for treats. As for walks, there is a nature trail right by my house and I love to walk the dogs down that path. Its quiet and peaceful.

I would love to know about a dogs temperament, whether or not the get along with other animals, including cats, and whether they get along with other people or require space. I would like to know if they have any special needs or dietary restrictions.
