Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, crate or kennel routines, and any other specific needs your pet may have. During walks, your dog's safety is my top priority. I ensure they remain securely leashed, closely supervise their surroundings, and only allow interactions with people or other animals if you've given permission. Whether I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your dog for a walk, or providing overnight care, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Reliable and Friendly Dog Caregiver

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs since childhood, from tiny Havanese to large German Shepherds, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and outgoing or shy and anxious, I have the patience and understanding to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to earn each dog's trust while providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering medications to dogs and am happy to follow any care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, or overnight care, you can count on me to treat your dog like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for every visit.

Sophia is an amazing and responsible pet caregiver. We have a German shepherd and two cats and she has done a great job walking our dog and caring for our cats. Wrigley loves her and his tail wags every time he sees her. Gatsby, one of our cats loves her too. Charlie, is a bit timid but she still does a great job! Would definitely recommend her!
