Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in a calm, safe, and structured home environment. My 2,800 sq. ft. home provides plenty of indoor space, and my large backyard allows for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I maintain a clean space, follow each pet’s routine closely, and make sure they receive individual attention, comfort, and care throughout the day.

Information Sophia G. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, and exercise needs. It’s also helpful to know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or special care instructions. I ask about behavior around other animals and people, energy level, training level, and any triggers or fears. Knowing your pet’s favorite toys, treats, and calming habits helps me give them the best care possible!

A typical day

A typical day caring for pets is active, structured, and full of attention. I’m a college student living in a house, so pets have plenty of space to relax and move around. My day usually starts with a morning walk or potty break, followed by feeding and some playtime to help pets burn off energy. I make sure to check in on them, give them affection, and keep their routine consistent. In the evenings, we’ll go on another walk, have more playtime, and wind down with calm activities and cuddles.

Sophia treated my pup so wonderfully. She let him play in the backyard and even bathed him and let him sleep with her. She truly cares and I have zero worry leaving Scout with her. We adore you Sophia!! 🥰
