I’m Sophia’s mom, so I’ve had a front-row seat to how much she loves dogs and how naturally she connects with them. For about a year and a half, Sophia was paid to care for a Cockapoo named Barkley while his owner was at work. Barkley came to our house two or three days a week, and Sophia absolutely loved having him around. She played fetch with him, made sure he got plenty of exercise, and gave him lots of attention and affection. Barkley was always so excited to see her, and it was easy to see how much they enjoyed their time together. When Barkley and his owner moved away, our family got a Cockapoo of our own, Ginger. Sophia quickly became Ginger’s best friend. She took her to dog training and agility classes, played with her, and kept her active. They were truly inseparable. Even though Ginger was our family dog and Sophia wasn’t being paid to care for her, the time and love Sophia invested in her showed just how much dogs mean to her. Losing Ginger was heartbreaking for Sophia, and I know she would love the opportunity to build that kind of special relationship with other dogs. Sophia has such a big heart when it comes to pets. She is energetic, loves being outdoors and getting exercise. She will give your dog plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. If I needed someone to walk or care for my dog, Sophia would absolutely be someone I would trust. I know she will treat your dog like one of her own and make sure they get lots of love while you’re away.
