Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating dog walks and spending time with pets feels like a positive and consistent part of my routine I always look forward to! And because of my flexible schedule, I'm very happy to take last minute bookings!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how I found them. My goal is for both the pet and the owner to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in reliable and caring hands. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar space and never leave them unattended longer than requested.

Information Sofia S. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference for any type of breed but I would appreciate if you could mention any sort of aggression towards animals or food so I can ensure a calm and safe environment.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged, happy, and comfortable based on their personality and energy level! For more active dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, etc. For calmer or senior pets, I focus more on gentle play, companionship, and making sure they feel relaxed and safe.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved being around them. I also have about a year of hands-on experience caring for other people’s dogs, including both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and energy levels. At home, I have a Maltese that I absolutely adore, and I enjoy taking her on walks and spending quality time together. Being around dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to care for them and keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Sophia was wonderful with our dog Maverick! She sent us pictures regularly and also managed to figure out a way to give him his pills even when our tried and true turkey couldn’t be found! Her communication was perhaps the most impressive, and I felt like our doggo was in good hands throughout our entire trip. Thank you, Sophia for giving us peace of mind!

Sofia has frequently taken Nico on walks and cared for him during my time away. Nico, a Maltipoo, is one of my beloved pets, and I always feel confident and at ease knowing that Sofia is looking after him. She treats him with the utmost care and attention, as if he were her own. Nico has a special affection for Sofia, and it’s clear that she has a natural rapport with dogs. Her compassion and dedication make her an exceptional caregiver. Without hesitation, Sofia is always my first choice whenever I need someone to care for or walk Nico.
