Availability

I’m currently on my summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule for pet care! I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. In September, I’ll be starting my Master’s classes three times a week, but I’ll still have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or visits around my class schedule. For now, I’m fully available and excited to spend time with some furry friends!

Information Sofia V. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I always like to learn about their routine, personality, and any specific needs. It’s helpful to know if they have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications, as well as how they behave on walks or around other animals. I also ask about any behaviors to be aware of, like anxiety, chewing, or door-dashing, so I can keep them safe and comfortable. Most importantly, I want to know what helps them feel calm and happy like their favorite toys, treats, or comforting routines. The more I know, the better I can provide thoughtful, personalized care that puts both you and your pet at ease.

A typical day

It really depends on the pet’s personality! For dogs who love to move, I’m all about long walks, tug-of-war, fetch, and outdoor exploring. For calmer pups or older dogs, I’ll keep things slower-paced with gentle strolls, brushing, or cozy hangouts. If I’m with a cat, I’ll bring out their favorite toys for some pouncing or keep it mellow with window watching and lap time. Whether they’re high-energy or more reserved, I make sure pets feel engaged, loved, and comfortable and that we have fun together in a way that suits them best.

Pets

Happy Pet & Happy You!

Pet care experience

I have a golden retriever and a cat at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. My dog has anxiety, so I’m especially patient, gentle, and experienced with pets who need extra reassurance. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines. I’m here to provide calm, loving care that keeps them happy and you worry-free.
