Bachelors in Animal Science

Pet care experience

I studied veterinary medicine/health/management/nutrition/infectious diseases as well as behavior, so I know all of the ins and outs on domestic animals. I am knowledgeable not only on dogs but cats, livestock, small animals, etc. I also offer dog training services. I can take the dogs to the beach, park or just for long walks; whatever your preference. I have been providing in-home care in clients' homes for over ten years as well! Lots of care for kitties and other small animals as well as exotics and livestock. Please let me know ahead of time if you have a destructive/dog reactive animal so that I may take precautionary actions when walking or sitting them. Can provide references if requested. Feel free to text me as well.

Sophia was wonderful! We recently moved to Ocala and used our former pet sitter for 20 years. Needless to say, we were anxious about trying someone new and trusting a key to our home and the well being of our pets. Sophia is clearly an animal lover, responsible and very reliable. She even came on the last day despite her dog being at the emergency vet. She just let us know she would come by a little early. We will definitely book Sophia again. Highly recommend her!

I don’t hand out 5 stars, however... I got an experienced dog trainer with big dog experience for an excellent price during a holiday. She did what we agreed on, sent pictures, noted the behavior and I came back to a happy dog with a big belly and food still in his bowl. I had plenty of anxiety missing my pup, but I enjoyed the holidays since I knew I had him in the hands of possibly a trainer and def someone with experience. I’d don’t see a reason to use anyone else. Highly recommend. You get high end experience and professionalism for a great deal. What else could I ask for?

Sophia has her degree in animal science and she is super knowledgeable in the subject! She is always giving me great tips on how to help my little Silky lead the healthiest and happiest life! Not only is she great at reading animals and assessing their needs, but she has been a great tool in helping me train my sweet pup! She has such a deep love for animals, I would recommend her to pet owners with the highest of standards! I don’t trust very many people caring for my pup, but Sophia absolutely makes the list!
