Peace, Love and Happy Dogs :)

Pet care experience

I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, and part of that has been a quest to put a smile on every single dog’s face! I know how much they bring to us and our lives, so giving back to them has always been very important to me. I just love to see their happiness when they know that they are loved and well taken care of! Pet sitting is also a great way for me to give back to my community, providing owners with peace of mind by being there as a trusted caregiver to their best friends. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’ve been a animal sitter and caregiver for the last 17 years, and sitting professionally for the last four years. I’ve had dogs since I was three years old, and have loved pups big and small! Currently, I am raising a German Shepherd puppy named Bear, who is 5 years old and just as playful as a young pup! I’m also a veterinary technician and receptionist at an animal hospital. Basically, my day is just nonstop dogs--and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve learned quite a lot in those roles, and I bring that expertise to every pup that’s under my care. When taking on a new client, I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way for us to make sure that we’re all on the same page together, and we get to chat face-to-face about how to best take care of your pup. Plus, I just love meeting new dogs! When I meet your pup for the first time, I’ll always get down on their level and let them warm up to me. It’s important that they know that I’m a welcome presence in their lives, so I like to schedule the meet with the owners and at a neutral location. I have no breed restrictions, so all pooches are welcome! When your pup is under my care, my number one priority is to make you and your pup feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. I do that by giving the absolute best customer service possible. I’ll always follow your instructions to a “T” to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety. After all, no one knows your fur baby better than you do! We’ll always do what makes them the most happy, and I’m happy to go the extra mile for any pooch. Likewise, I love sending daily updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! I’m always just a phone call away and can be reached any time in case any concerns or questions arise.

Sophia was great with Spam! She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and pictures. House was also tidy when we came home. I would strongly recommend Sophia and will definitely be using her again when we need someone to look out for Spam!

What to say about a Great animal lover! She has never met a pet she hasn’t loved. She works at an animal hospital and is studying to become a Veterinary Technician! What better person to care for your fur baby 👍 she can administer medications, she knows when your fur baby doesn’t feel well and knows if she can fix it or it needs veterinary care! What more can you ask for? She is also willing at times to house sit both your home and your pet! If you are looking for that special person to care for your pet you need to look no further 💕👍

Sophia was great. This was our first time using Rover for house/pet sitting. Our dogs seemed to have a good time hanging out with Sophia. She sent plenty of pictures and the girls seemed very happy. I will definitely contact her again the next time we are out of town.

Sophia took great care of our two boys while we celebrated my daughters birthday in Reno. She sent photos and gave them extra love as one was diagnosed with a knee injury the day before we left and she had to give medications twice a day. She sent photos and updates daily and we were able to relax and have a great time.

Information Sophia G. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

The most important thing for your pup and I to do together is to follow any and all instructions that I receive. I always adhere as closely as possible to your instructions because you know best what makes your dog safe and sound. I’m happy to stick to their eating, potty, and exercise schedules and make sure they take any medication right on time too. Other than that, the world is our oyster! I love to get out into the open, so your pup will be right at home with me if they enjoy the outdoors! I absolutely love going on hikes or walks through the park, and nothing makes me happier than to have a canine companion by my side the whole time. I like to do trails at least once or twice a week in good weather, and your pup is more than welcome to come along!
