Patience, love, & care for your pet

Pet care experience

I have had pets for has long as I can remember. Currently, I have 2 cats and a border collie back home and another cat that lives with me while I'm at school. I am no stranger to caring for animals. Growing up, I lived in a secluded area where people would sometimes leave their cats. My family and I would rescue these abandoned kitties whenever we found them and find them homes, sometimes even nursing them back to health. Other than my own pets and kitty rescues, I have helped out some friends and family as well. I have cared for puppies, kittens, elderly pets, big and small pets. I have gone to others' homes, and I have even held my own daycare for a relative's puppy.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Sophie was very meticulous and checked in whenever she had questions. We got detailed texts and lots of photos and videos. Our two active dogs were treated to swims, trips to the park, car rides and lots of snuggles and playtime. I will be a regular customer of Sophie’s for sure!

Availability

As I am a student at Penn State, I will have to discuss my schedule with you. In general, I am available some weekends and can walk your dog(s) (or cat(s)!) in the evenings and maybe some mornings. Depending on location, I can provide checkup/potty break/playtime throughout most weekdays. I prefer to house-sit rather than board, but I may be able to make accommodations if needed; we will have to discuss first, but it shouldn't be a problem!
