Professional animal caregiver

Pet care experience

I am a professional equestrian, meaning I take care of other peoples animals for a living! I have taken care of dogs, cats and even horses since I was 10 years old. I am great at training puppies and have been trained in senior care. I know how to give medications of all kinds including shots if needed.

Once again, Sophia was excellent. Even at a moments notice she was available, communicative, and took great care of our pup.

Sophia was nice and responsive to messages. I don’t feel she spent as much time as she should have with my dogs for the majority of the visits paid for. If she suggests you use a friend named Alex I would avoid him also.

Sophia is an absolute pro. She was responsive before and during the booking, sending updates that included multiple pictures, as well as detailed notes about our dog's mood and behavior. She even offered to come back for an extra walk one day after he didn't poop during the morning walk. Sophia was also very easy to communicate with, which gave me great peace of mind during our vacation. We will absolutely be requesting Sophia the next time we need any dog care at all.

Safety, trust & environment

If I am taking care of a pet at a clients house, I make sure to respect everything the client asks for. If you want your pet in the crate then I will do so. If you want your pet laying with me, then I will do that. You let me know exactly how you want your pet handled and I will respect your wishes. If the pet is at my house I have two very friendly Frenchies to keep them company. Your pet can be crated, free roaming, or kept in one part of the house. Your pet can come with me to my barn to spend extra time outside on a huge farm.

Information Sophia F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog has any special requirements or needs so I can be properly prepared. Please also let me know if your dog has any specific dislikes or triggers so I know to avoid them. And let me know your dogs favorite things so I can incorporate them!

A typical day

I love to spend time with dogs and make sure they have a positive and stimulating day! We can walk to the park and play fetch. I love to go into rock creek park for walks on the paths
