📸Scenic Walks & Daily Photo Update
Hi! I'm Sofia, and I'd love to become your dog's new favorite sitter! As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. When you're away, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I'm currently returning to school to earn my master's degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy because it combines my love of animals with spending time outdoors and helping fellow pet owners. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, as well as small animals like guinea pigs. I take the time to learn each pet's routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. One of my favorite things to do is explore Utah's beautiful trails. If your dog enjoys adventures, I'd love to take them on dog-friendly hikes or nature walks with your permission. My friendly Shih Tzu, Lucy, often joins us on walks and hikes and loves making new friends. If your dog prefers one-on-one outings or does better without another dog, I'm always happy to accommodate that. Every walk is tailored to your dog's personality, energy level, and your preferences, with safety always coming first. When your pet is with me, you can expect: 🐾 Plenty of love, attention, and playtime 📸 Frequent photo and video updates 🚶 Walks, hikes, and activities tailored to your dog's needs 💊 Medication administration if needed 🍽️ Careful attention to feeding schedules and special instructions ❤️ Patient, positive, and compassionate care My professional background in healthcare administration and education has taught me to be dependable, organized, and an excellent communicator. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog loves adventures, belly rubs, or simply having a companion while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to getting to know you both.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible by keeping them on their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and mental enrichment throughout the day. If your dog enjoys being active, I'm happy to provide neighborhood walks, nature walks, or dog-friendly hikes with your permission. My friendly Shih Tzu, Lucy, often joins us on walks and loves making new friends, but I'm equally happy to provide one-on-one outings if that's a better fit for your dog. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep your home clean, provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved until you return. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is receiving the same level of care, affection, and attention they would receive from family.
Ratings and reviews
Sofie is one of the best dog sitters i have worked with. She loves and cares for my dogs and that is why i keep on coming back anytime i need a sitter.
Anyone who has a dog knows that when faced with the need to entrust another with their care, the process can be incredibly overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. Can you trust this person to ensure your dog will have the care and love they need? My husband and I have been through this same dilemma. Fortunately, Sofie exhibits all of the characteristics of what any loving dog-parent would desire of a caregiver. She's dependable, caring, patient, and smart. I couldn't recommend Sofie enough--she's fabulous.
Sofie has watched our chinese crested multiple times while we go on our vacations. She takes care of his special skin care regime, brushes his tooth regularly and follows his rigorous special diet to a T.
Sofie is definitely an animal lover. I've had the pleasure of house sitting Sofie's 3 Guinea pigs and puppy. She always makes sure her pets get the best care, leaving detailed instructions for me to follow and checking in to make sure her pets aren't forgotten. She'll make a great dog sitter for you. She adores animals and knows how to take proper care of them. She knows how to train young dogs and teach them good habits. Your pets will be in good hands with Sofie.
I worked with Sofie for over two years on the board of one of the largest student organizations in the state of Utah, where she served as President. She is a born leader who knows how to take other's concerns into account before making large decisions that impact entire organizations. Sofie is one of the most caring people I know and loves taking care of friends and pets alike. Sofie would be an asset to your company and I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reserve.
Sofie is a huge dog lover. She is always very consciencence of how hot the asphalt is when walking a dog. Be warned, her voice goes up an entire octave when she sees a cute dog.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I'm currently returning to school for my master's degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my days around the pets I'm caring for. My own Shih Tzu, Lucy, gets daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention, so caring for dogs is already built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's neighborhood walks, hikes, or trips to dog-friendly parks. If your dog enjoys adventures, I'm happy to include them (with your permission). I also make time throughout the day for feeding, enrichment, potty breaks, cuddles, and, of course, plenty of photo updates for owners. I believe pets thrive when they have consistency, attention, and exercise, so I make it a priority to provide all three while they're in my care.
