Would love to care for your dog!
Pet care experience
I have been working with animals my whole life. Since my dad is an animals services officer down in Southern California, he would often bring home a variety of pets that need to be cared for until they are treated. This is where I learned how to handle sick, injured, and unwanted pets. I also am comfortable working with several pets at a time. I once assisted my dad in delivering three puppies from our dog who was giving birth. At times, my dad would take me on ride alongs at his work where I was able to feed and spend time with all the dogs at the local shelter. My biggest accomplishment was when I travelled to Guatemala in order to volunteer at an animal shelter to help the dogs in need. Each day, I was lucky enough to be able to feed each dog, wash all their bowls and cages, bathe them, walk, and play with them. My goal during my time in Guatemala was to provide a healthier living environment for stray dogs in third world countries. This experience truly helped me discover my passion for dogs as I witnessed each of them become overjoyed when I worked with them. Working with dogs has got to be one of the most joyful jobs that a person have and I am eager to meet so many wonderful animals!
Reviews
Sophia is always so great with our puppy.
Sophia was amazing with our little puppy. Sophia was professional in every way and she really had a good way with him. When we came home after the sitting, he was so calm. Thank you so much!
Sophia was a wonderful dog and house sitter for us. Right from the meet and greet we had a feeling it was good choice. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little hesitant at first - very happy to report all went great! Sophia took our athletic dog for a nice long walk and sent photos of him enjoying their time together. Our house was left in great order. I highly recommend Sophia for house sitting.
Sophia has been around pets her entire life. She has a genuine love and compassion for animals, especially dogs. She has been very responsible and caring with our pets. Our baby, Angel, loves Sophia very much and I’m confident your pet baby will love her too!

Information Sophia G. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs! What ever condition a dog has I can be accustomed to and will match my energy with theirs. I’m willing to work with a variety of types.
A typical day
I would love to take dogs on walks around the beautiful campus of Dominican University of California. This quiet campus in perfect for a calm stroll in the park as well as a cheerful run where they could get all their energy out. On weekends or holidays, I would look forward to taking dogs to Muir beach where they could enjoy the water or simply relax in the sand. Dog parks are also a must go to in order for them to have some fun with other dogs around the area.
