Pet care experience

your pet's new best friend

I've been petsitting for my community for ten years now and I pride myself on being diligent & patient with all pets. I'm currently offering drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as dog walks. I know each pet has their quirks and I promise to spend time with your pet in the way best suited to them. I'll send daily photo and text updates to ensure your peace of mind. I'm here to make sure your pets are having the best time at home so you can have the best time away from home :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Patience is key to understanding what a cat or dog is comfortable with when you enter their space. Cats thrive on routine and trust, while dogs benefit from consistency, clear communication, and positive reinforcement. During drop-in visits, my top priority is to respect each pet’s boundaries and build a bond at their pace. In my years of pet care, slow introductions and remaining a calm, reliable presence have consistently led to successful, stress-free visits for both cats and dogs.

Sophia was great with our two kitties. I thought her updates were fun and provided good info on what the cats were up to while we were away!

Sophia watched our cat over a long holiday weekend and was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative and provided great photos and updates of our cat. I would highly recommend and will be booking with her in the future.

It was our first time leaving our cats alone in Raleigh. We are so glad to have found Sophia. She is very sweet, kind with our cats and took good care of them. We are surely going to request her help again in looking after our cats. 😸😸😸

Schedule

I WFH every day in downtown Raleigh and have the flexibility to check in on your pets during your preferred time frame (morning, afternoon, or evening). If your pet has a strict eating or medication schedule, I can be there right on time. I'm available both weekends and weekdays for drop-in visits with your pet. At this time I am accepting both cat and dog households as clients.

Let me know if you have any questions or ways to improve my visit with your pets. I'm happy to help in any way I can and will diligently follow your detailed care instructions.
