Safety, trust & environment

For Walking: I ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation during walks. Living close to a Dog Run and Central Park, I can tailor walks to your dog's needs—whether that’s long, active walks, or letting them play and socialize at the dog run if they’re comfortable with other dogs. For Staying with Me: When your dog stays with me, they’ll enjoy an active lifestyle with frequent walks and outings to nearby parks, including Central Park. For downtime, I’m just as happy to snuggle with them on the couch or bed while watching TV, providing a cozy and safe environment where they feel at home. Whether your dog likes activity or prefers relaxing, I can adapt to their personality to ensure they feel cared for.

Information Sofia V. would like to know about your pet

It's helpful for me to know your pet's personality, energy level, and any specific routines or preferences they have. For example, are they social with other dogs or prefer quiet walks? Do they have any special dietary needs, medications, or health concerns? Looking forward to meeting them!

A typical day

A typical day with me starts with a morning walk, either a brisk stroll through the neighborhood or a trip to the nearby dog run for some playtime. If your pup loves exercise, we might head to Central Park for a longer walk or jog. Throughout the day, we’ll take additional walks and have plenty of interactive playtime to keep them active and engaged. For downtime, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, whether it’s relaxing on the couch with cuddles or enjoying some quiet time.

Sofia V.'s Neighborhood

Dog lover with flexible schedule

Pet care experience

I grew up as an only child with my Border Collie, treating her as my sibling and caring for her from puppyhood to her senior years. I walked her daily, gave her baths, and provided her with love and care. I trained her to recognize the names of several different of her toys and follow commands like sit and paw. This lifelong experience taught me how to care for dogs at every stage of life with patience, dedication, and love."

Sofia is an excellent dog sitter! She took amazing care of Wally, took him on several long walks, and provided a great place for him.
