Highlights
Pet care experience
Safety first, cuddles always!
Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m 33 and recently relocated to Canada from the UK. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and sadly had to leave behind my family dog (and soul dog), Remy. Although I FaceTime him every day, I really miss the company of dogs. They’ve always been my greatest comfort, and honestly, I’m absolutely the annoying person who asks to pet your dog in the street. I’ve spent a lot of time teaching myself about dog body language and behaviour because I think understanding dogs properly is one of the best ways to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. I pay close attention to whether dogs genuinely feel relaxed with certain interactions, whether that’s cuddles, kisses, or play with other dogs. I can recognize the difference between playful, relaxed behaviour and signs of stress or anxiety. Your dog will get lots of love and affection from me, but I’ll always prioritize what they need first. Finally, I know how daunting it can be leaving your pet with a stranger, but rest assured you’ll receive plenty of updates during our booking. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priority.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
What the dog NEEDS will always come first. In my opinion, that is the best way to care for a dog. I will always pay attention to their body language, first and foremost. Are they licking their lips when I give me a kiss? Is their tail up and straight when they’re interacting with another dog? Dogs communicate with us every day, a lot of people just don’t know how to read them. I do. When your dog is with me, I’ll always be focused on them.
Ratings and reviews
Sophia is an excellent dog sitter and my dog has fallen in love with her. I received lots of updates including pictures and videos. I highly recommend Sophia to look after your dog or cat.
Sophia was great. She spent the weekend house/cat sitting for us. She sent lots of updates and pics and our cat really took to her.
Writing Absolutely lovely experience! She went above and beyond for our puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for our little fur baby. She was such a great communicator and kept us reassured throughout. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such wonderful hands. We’d definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Sophia was amazing! She took care of our 9 weeks old puppy, it was our first time leaving her with someone else and we felt really comfortable leaving Gigi (our puppy) with her. Gigi loved Sophia right away and they had a great time together. Sophia sent us updates and photos through the evening, which was really reassuring. We will contact Sophia in the future for sure!
Had a great experience! We would definitely book with Sophia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter.
Sophia is an excellent sitter! She took great care of our old crochety dog. Would recommend her to anyone. And extremely trustworthy as a house sitter. We hope she can sit for us again.
