A typical day

I will take your dogs for a walk and/or play with them in your fenced in yard! I’ll sit on the ground and give them lots of love and attention! I will play with them and their most favorite toys!

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years. I’ve always had dogs, cats, and a horse. I have many people who rely on me to take care of their animals. I also worked at a small animal vet for 3+ years and I have a passion for animal medicine. You won’t have to worry if I’m taking care of your babies!

Sophia did an excellent job watching over our dog. She asked questions, took notes, and let us know of any concerns. Of course she also sent us plenty of pictures. We are so grateful for her!!

Sophia was wonderful. I was in town for a week for work and needed someone to walk my dog during the days. She met us at the hotel the evening that we checked in to give my pup a chance to get used to her. She came each day, was very responsive, took great care of the dog, and sent plenty of updates about each walk.

Sophia did a great job with our cats while we were away. She is both detail oriented and adaptable. All of our animals love her!

Sophia is spectacular! I was pretty stressed knowing that I would need a dog walker while working in Blackstone, but I couldn’t get into town until the night before I had to start, which didn’t leave much time to figure things out! Fortunately Sophia answered my Rover request promptly, was very accommodating with her schedule, and donated quite a bit of her Sunday evening to do a thorough introduction. It was immediately apparent that she is a true animal lover, and I appreciated her attention to detail. She gave excellent reports each day and allowed Kata to get used to the new environment at her own pace. So much stress has been relieved now that I know we have someone reliable to support us anytime we are in town!
