About Sofia S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can administer medicine and care to any animals that need it, as well as drop-ins, with the reassurance that your furry friends are safe and sound.
Information Sofia S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog/cat has any food allergies or special needs. I have heard everything from a cat that can only drink out of one specific cup to having to pretend to be invisible so that a dog will eat their food :)
A typical day
My day usually starts with pet drop-in and walk sessions, which vary in length and time based on each dog’s needs. Then, I get ready to head to my day job as a high school teacher, which is from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Once I’m done with my day job, I often need to do more check-ins and pet visits. I also have a dog-walking route scheduled for 6 p.m. before I head home to feed my own pets.

HS Teacher SubQ fluid experience
Pet care experience
I’m a high school civics teacher with evening availability and free all weekend. Rover parents have allowed me to replace my broken hearing aids, now I do Rover to help fund my own cats' Banfield Hospital accounts. Rover has been a lifesaver! My soul kitty took SubQ fluids every day until he crossed the rainbow bridge in July of 2026. While it was the most heartbreaking moment, I am so grateful to him for teaching me patience and allowing me to care for him until he was 16. He was the joy of my life. I am more than willing to administer medicine to animals in need; it almost feels like the best way I can honor his memory.

Reviews
Sofia is one of our favorite cat sitters! She is reliable and communicative and does great with my cats. Highly recommend!!
It was our first time using rover for our boy Andy. We had a friend house sitting for us that happened to be in town but we still wanted Andy to get to know his sitter so we thought it would be a perfect time to slowly introduce him to Sofia. She kept me updated every morning, Andy loved her. Our friend also said she was wonderful with Andy. Would highly recommend her and Andy is excited to see her again! Thank you Sofia for taking care of our baby.
Sofia gets an enthusiastic five stars! Her reports were so detailed and the amount care she put into watching our cat, fish, and home was unmatched by any other pet sitter we’ve used. We are so thankful to have found Sofia and will definitely work with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Sofia!
Sofia is simply the best! She truly loves and cares for our kitties and we feel so lucky to have found her.
