I treat all animals with love

Pet care experience

I have grown up with many animals in my back yard, everything from bunnies to goats to cows to even ducks. I helped provide for them and made sure they were well taken care of.

As Sophia's mom, I know her well enough to say that her superpowers include dependability, animal whispering, and conscientiousness. One day, when we were living in Tanzania, I stepped over our dog Alice while exiting our front door. "Mom, you hurt Alice's feelings by not greeting her when you stepped over her," Sophie said. For many years, living in Africa, Sophie developed a deep love for safari animals and our farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and ducks). Back in the U.S., one winter, Sophie had a dog walking appointment during a snowstorm. Power lines were down. She drove as close to the house as she could and then slogged through the snow on unplowed roads a few blocks to get to the house and walk her charge. Sophie is on time, kind to animals and people alike even though she may actually prefer animals for company (:-). She enjoys walking pets and pet sitting, too. (Besides dogs, she also knows how to speak to cats, which we have had her entire life). You and your pet will be glad to have Sophie provide empathetic exercise and caring attention to both you and your pet.

Sophia is the best pet sitter, dog walker, and cat whisperer my pets have ever had. She has walked my dog every day since he was a baby and he absolutely adores her. She’s also stayed over at my house many times to take care of the dog and cats, and I trust her completely in my home. She has a demeanor and skillset that sets animals at ease. I have recommended her to many friends as a perfect resource for caring for their pets. I could not recommend her more highly and will follow her to Rover!

Safety, trust & environment

When staying at a clients home I make sure to be almost invisible. When on the last day I make sure to wash sheets and clean any space I may have used and to crate the dog if instructed

Information Sophia C. would like to know about your pet

I always feel its good to know if a pet is comfortable with certain people in their neighborhood. I want to know who to avoid, which dogs and owners are ok to interact with, and if the pet had any problems in the past with certain people.

A typical day

I Love taking Dogs to the park and throwing a ball or frisbee, which is always a good way to get some of that energy out.
