Animal Caretaker/Dog Trainer

Hello everyone!! I recently moved back here from the Phoenix area. My books are open! *** PRICES ARE NOT CONCRETE** I completely understand the stress of having to find a sitter. In this economy, everything is expensive! Let me know what your budget is and I will work with you. I’d much rather provide you with a reliable and secure service so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. One less thing to worry about! I can take care of your homestead while you’re away and have experience rearing pigs, goats, horses, cows, sheep, geese and the likes. Worried about your crops? I have years of experience in landscaping, homesteading, and agriculture. I’ve grown up with farm animals, dogs and cats my entire life and know very well how to love, communicate, and take care of them. I am also a trained dog trainer who was certified by an animal behaviorist. I was able to train my cat to go on backpacking trips with me and I am also a runner so I can run your pup for as long as they are able to!

Safety, trust & environment

I respect the client’s wishes no matter what my background is. I will only make suggestions if I feel that it will be helpful for both the owner and their pet. I ensure that all pets under my care feel comfortable and safe, and stay on their regular schedule while their parents are away.

Sophia was wonderful with our little Daisy! Daisy suffers from separation and stranger, anxiety. At Sophia‘s first visit, Daisy would not even come out from behind the couch. Sophia was patient and won her trust on her second visit. Daisy just loved her, knowing that Daisy was so taken care of made it easier to enjoy our vacation. thank you, Sophia! We hope you will be available for our next vacation.

It would be extremely helpful to know if the pup has any allergies, aggressive tendencies, anxiety issues, or can become over stimulated in unfamiliar settings.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
