Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet's best friend
I've lived with animals since I was born. From dogs, cats, guinea pigs and ferrets to fish, I've cared for a range of pets! In 2021, I volunteered with "I Love Goa Dogs" in India and taught yoga classes to raise money to support the efforts to feed, sterilize, and adopt stray dogs and cats. People tell me I have a peaceful presence and this helps me connect well with animals, from street dogs in Asia to high maintenance pets like my sister's dachshund :) As a world traveler, I am unable to have pets of my own, but it always brings me joy to connect with our furry animal friends wherever I am.

Ratings and reviews
Sophia has a nice, gentle energy about her that I can tell helped put Charlie at ease. She has quick access to a beautiful trail right in town for an afternoon walk. Would definitely have Charlie stay with her again.
Sophia is so lovely. She was so accommodating when we had a death in the family and had to make a quick trip out of town. She fit Fiona in at her home, sent me photos and assured me all was fine. I feel very comfortable leaving Fiona with her.
Sophia did an amazing job with our mini Aussie. She has a lovely, compassionate vibe and is super responsive and respectful. You can tell she really loves dogs. She walked our pup and sent us updates. Our pup is shy and takes a while to warm up to people. When I picked him up, he had obviously connected with her—he was calm and happy and not his normal anxious self when I pick him up after a vacation. So we will definitely book with Sophia again!
Repeat visit! Sophia helped us out with a last-minute request to check in on our pup. She was quick to respond and took great care of him. We were very grateful she was able to take care of our little guy again!
Sophia was so kind, and easy to communicate with. She was very proactive in scheduling our meet and greet and the actual visit. My dog was instantly comfortable with her and I knew right away that he’d be in good hands. She sent us sweet photos throughout her time with him, and took great care of our home. Will absolutely book her again!
Sophia was so great with Scout! Scout had some extraordinary needs with her back legs being very weak - Sophia made she was comfortable in our home and we came back from our trip to a very happy dog. She very much understands what a dogs needs.

Schedule
My schedule is quite flexible as I work remotely part time and otherwise teach a few yoga classes and workshops a week. I do travel sometimes for out-of-town events, but will aim to block off my schedule ahead of time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I love walking dogs, or even taking them running. I live next to a nice trails in the woods by a river and have a large yard, the ideal location for a dog to release some energy. Feeding schedule is as per your wishes and I am happy to support in any way!
A typical day
I love taking long walks and runs through the woods or trails by the water. If you have a bigger, high energy dog, I'd be more likely to run with them, or take them for a long walk, and if it's a smaller or older dog I would be a bit more gentle with the walk. Otherwise I can play with dogs or cats indoors with whatever toys that are provided.
