Fulltime student that loves animals

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sophia. I have a AA in Teaching and a BS in Special Education with a minor in Psychology. I am a full time student in a master’s program for Social Work to pursue counseling. I recently stopped working at Park Hill School District as a substitute, but I had been with the district for 7 years doing various job titles. I currently work full time in St. Joe as an Investigator. I grew up on a farm with dogs and other animals with my family. I used to do 4-H when I was younger where I showed dogs in agility and obedience as well as horses. I have four kitties named Hazel, Taco, Tuesday, and Maryse, and two golden retrievers named Eleanor Rigby (Ellie) and Tiny Tina. 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!

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.

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 two golden girls at night due to their chewy personalities to keep them safe.

Information Sophia G. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I often go out in the yard with Ellie & Tina to play fetch. They don’t often last long as they are a bit out of shape. We take walks around the block as well when the weather is nice.
