Sophia can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

I work from home full time and have a highly social and playful dog. During the day your boarded babies will play with Bentley (my dog) and nap on the bed in my office to jazz and classical music. During my break I usually walk my dog midday or late afternoon. If your dog or cat is not boarded, after 11A I am free to pop over and check on your fur babies and spend some time with them.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on. As well as all chemicals and other hazards showed away in cabinets they are unable to open. For my anxious dog I keep classical music on throughout the house to create a peaceful environment. Your pooch will feel at ease in my home and will always be watched and cared for. I make sure to send plenty of pictures and videos to update you on their mood and how their day is going. Nothing better than getting reassurance that your fur baby is in the best hands!! In your home I will watch them the entire time while they are playing and eating to make sure they are okay and haven’t gotten into any trouble.

Information Sophia G. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer dogs that are not aggressive and are friendly/tolerant towards dogs and cats as I have a dog and cat at home. (if they are being boarded at my home) Social or clingy dog/cat not required as every animal is different and not always wants to be around a new human. But if I get to see them I will certainly be so happy!

A typical day

My dog Bentley is very high energy and will play with your pooch until they are both reasonably tired. Usually followed by afternoon naps to Jazz music until we head out for an hour walk on my lunch break. We have a huge fenced yard perfect for zoomies and fetch, or a long walk around the neighborhood. Fresh air and exercise several times a day for sure! We love to be outside. Let me know what your dog likes to do!

Sophia is so great! I will continue to check with her first whenever we go out of town. She takes such great care of the animals and the house and her communication is top tier.

Sophia was kind, loving, attentive, and very flexible when caring for my cat! I never felt worried while I was away because I knew my cat was in good hands. Sophia treats your pet as if they are her own and her experience handling animals shows. I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone else!

Sophia is so wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter to take care of our kitty and birds. She obviously cares about the animals, and she's great about pictures and communication. We'll definitely be asking her to petsit during future trips!
