Pet care experience

I’ve owned pets my whole life, worked at my local animal shelter, and own my own rescue pup. She has taught me the biggest lesson on care and compassion! I’ve cared for senior dogs and new puppies. I am very active and like to keep myself and my pets entertained!

Sophia was so great with my 63lb Goldendoodle for multiple days of walks. He can be a strong puller on walks, and can get anxious in the neighborhood, especially in Fireworks season. Sophia was so great with him, gaining his trust and adjusting to his needs each walk. She was timely, remembered instructions, and things unique to my dog. We look forward to having her again.

Sophia took great care of my dog for his afternoon walk. Very communicative and quick responses if I needed anything. I knew my dog was in good hands

Sophia has been excellent with my Boston Terrier! He always looks forward to walks with her, and I trust her to stay overnight with him. She puts his safety first, a great communicator with me and cares for him like he is her own!

I’ve known Sophie for years, and she has always been one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. She genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like her own. Sophie is dependable, attentive, and patient, and I would absolutely trust her to care for my pets anytime. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her as their sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
