Dog lover with a large backyard

Hello! My name is Sophia. I have a AA in Teaching and a BS in Special Education with a minor in Psychology, as well as a Masters in Social Work. I currently work as a school based therapist. I worked at Park Hill School District for 7 years and worked for the state of MO in St. Joe for 2 years. I grew up on a farm with dogs and other animals with my family. I learned animal husbandry starting as a toddler. I used to do 4-H when I was younger where I showed dogs in agility and obedience as well as horses. I’ve shown dogs in AKC shows as well. I have three kitties named Hazel, Taco, Tuesday, and two golden retrievers named Eleanor Rigby (Ellie) and Tiny Tina as well as a poodle puppy, Figgis. In my free time I enjoy playing with my animals(horses, dogs, and cats), watching Netflix, spending time with my husband, going to concerts, and working out! Our household is always bustling and your puppers will have plenty of play time with our three dogs (and the cats too!).

Great communication! Leaving our pup with someone new is scary but Sophia made us feel comfortable over the extended weekend.

Just one word! Awesome! It was the perfect place for Oakley to hang while we were traveling to attend a wedding. Thanks so much Sophia and Tanner! Suzanne says, "That was just a Gid Send!"

She took wonderful care of our dog. Peachy was a little anxious and she handled it very well. Very responsive anytime I asked for an update and sent pictures of peachy after she got settled in. Will definitely book again if I need these services again.

Sophia was awesome, kind hearted and seemed to genuinely enjoyed watching my dog Zoie. I felt comfortable from our first meet & greet. There was open communication and pictures which I appreciated. I give her a 10 out of 10, I would use her service again.

Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I always are cautious with our own animals and others. We ensure that they are safe when out in our yard. We always check food & water day and night! We also crate our one of our golden girls at night due to her chewy personality and our poodle puppy to keep them safe while we sleep.

Pets

A typical day

I often go out in the yard with Ellie & Tina & Figgis to play fetch. When we have visitor dogs, they tend to play with our dogs. We take walks around the block as well when the weather is nice.

I would like to know the breed of dog and if they are aggressive towards cats, dogs, or humans. A few summers ago I ended up in the ER room with a severe deep tissue wound from a Pitbull. Due to this experience, we are not interested in taking dogs with any history of aggression towards cats, dogs, or humans.
