Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs, cats and exotic animals for most of my life. There has never been a point in my life where I didn't live with a dog. I am a foster mom for Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego and recently got to have the wonderful experience of fostering a Chihuahua puppy until he was adopted. I currently live with a roommate who has a young Dachshund, an elderly cat, and six chickens, so I have a ton of experience with managing multiple animals at once. Growing up I had two dogs, two snakes, a chameleon, a bearded dragon and a tarantula all at the same time so I'm very familiar with exotic animals and reptiles as well, and the extensive care that goes into having them. Many of my friends and family members have trusted me to care for their pets of all kinds and ages. I am willing to take on any animal, of any size and any age and treat them as my own. I love working with animals and can assure you that your pets will be safe and loved in my care.

Sophia is really cool and easy going. Immediately made me feel comfortable and my dog was also at ease with her right away. She walked Salem a few times during daycare, let her have free roam of the house and yards, and even offered to take her swimming! Will definitely contact her again.

Sophia was amazing. She was right on time and when she was done she sent me a picture of my doggie! She was easy to schedule with and could even accommodate my last minute schedule change. I will definitely be using her again ?

Is Sophia good with pets ? More than somewhat of an understatement ! Whatever the animal may be - dog , cat , lizard , bird , Sophia (a.k.a. "Soapy" , "Soaps" , "Artist" to name a few) has always been very conscientious of the critters she is caring for - whether hers or that of someone else. How do I know this ? She is my youngest daughter , and it is with no small amount of admiration of her that I write this. Sincerely . SF. in. IB

Sophia has been a pet owner for as long as I’ve known her (13 years) and beyond. She has such a patient and gentle approach towards all animals. I’ve had her pet sit for me many times (6 hens, 1 cat, 1 dachshund) and each time I feel perfectly at ease knowing they are in good hands. She has fostered dogs a few times and they were so loved and taken care of in the short time they had with her. She’s very good about anticipating pet’s needs and exceeding expectations as well. Needless to say Sophia is the perfect candidate for Rover and any pet owner would be lucky to have her watch over their fur-babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced-in yard with a large pool, your pet will NEVER be in the yard unsupervised. I also have six chickens that occupy the side yard and are completely fenced in so they will not disturb your pet. I do own a medium sized crate that I can use for your pet if you desire that but for the most part your dog will be free to roam my home.

I have plenty of experience working with senior dogs as well as puppies, but please be detailed about any specific needs your pet has! Especially things like allergies, aggression, or disabilities. I am more than willing to accommodate all animals.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood, or to a nearby park. For high energy dogs I prefer a mild hike. I also enjoy on-leash dog-friendly beaches if allowed by the owner.
