Highlights
Pet care experience
I spoil my pets not my kids.🦮🐕🦺
I donate most of the proceeds to support a nonprofit I created a few years ago, inspired by my mom while she was still with us. The organization is dedicated to helping low-income seniors keep their beloved pets—because no one should have to lose their companion simply due to age or financial hardship. These relationships bring comfort, purpose, and joy, and it’s an honor to help protect them. I’ve spent more than 20 years working with dogs, cats, and other animals. I’m deeply intuitive with dogs and can often sense what they’re feeling or what may be troubling them. Whether it's gentle guidance for a new puppy or compassionate care for a senior dog, I’m here to support both pets and their people with patience, understanding, and love. My son Joni is also an experienced rover sitter. Though he’s away in college, he always helps with pup guests when home-we are a family of animal lovers.

Ratings and reviews
This was our first time with Sofiya, and my dog came home happy and tired—a great sign! We booked a one-day daycare visit and had a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be returning for an overnight stay. Thank you, Sofiya! 🙏
Sofiya was excellent! I loved the daily updates and photos of my dog having a great time. Will definitely book her again in the future!
Great as always :)
As always great care, great communication, and awesome flexibility from sofiya for our pup.
We loved our stay with Sofiya! Our golden retriever Caymus had such a fun time! We absolutely loved the communication from her as well. She provided a photo, his report card and a great update on him as well! Highly recommend her!!
Sofiya was a wonderful host for our sweet puppy! She sent daily updates and photos letting us know how our puppy was doing and she did such an amazing job caring for him. He came home happy, well rested, well fed, and ready for more play time with Sofiya next time we need care!

Schedule
My day starts at 6 a.m. I work remotely as a tax preparer and corporate accountant, so I’m home most days of the week. I love my home and the little world I’ve created here with my pets, chickens, and plants. Everyone lives together in perfect harmony because every creature’s needs and wants are listened to, understood, and lovingly cared for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a tall, fully fenced yard with a locking gate for safety. The chickens are kept in a secure enclosure that isn’t accessible to other pets. I have only one neighbor on one side, so it’s a quiet, peaceful space. My dog and cat are very friendly and are used to welcoming new friends into their home.
Pets
A typical day
We follow a gentle daily routine that keeps everyone happy, stimulated, and relaxed. The day usually begins with playtime in the backyard, where pups can socialize and burn off energy. Breakfast, medication, and treatments to those who need them. Afterward, they enjoy snack time and a cozy nap—either on the cool grass or inside the air-conditioned living room. Throughout the day, I include a couple of short training sessions to help dogs stay motivated, friendly with one another, and well-mannered. Everything is based on positive reinforcement. Walks are taken with one or two dogs at a time to ensure safety, attention, and a calm experience. We also incorporate cognitive toy play, where pups solve puzzles and work to get treats—great for mental stimulation. More outdoor play follows, then a bit of cleaning or grooming before dinner. After dinner, we take another walk and settle in for a peaceful bedtime.
