Safety, trust & environment

HUGE back and front yard where your pets will enjoy every second of it! I am on my phone often, and very quick to respond and send photo/video updates.

Information Sophia L. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know their daily routine, energy level, favorite toys or activities, any fears or triggers (like loud noises or other dogs), and how they do on walks to make them as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

Whether it’s a game of fetch in the yard, a long walk around the neighborhood, or just a cozy cuddle session, I tailor the fun to each pet’s energy level and preferences. For high-energy pups, I’m happy to play tug-of-war or go on little adventures. For more mellow pets, we’ll enjoy calm strolls, belly rubs, or even a little background music and company. My goal is always to keep them happy, entertained, and feeling right at home!

Loving and Safe Pet Care in Fairfax

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet. I only take 1 pet at a time (exception of same household), so they can get my full attention! I am a full time student who is 100% online, so I at home all hours to make sure your pet gets lots of love and attention. I grew up with dogs and cared for them through every stage of life until they passed, so I understand just how much pets mean to us—they’re family. I'm patient, reliable, and always attentive to each animal’s unique needs, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I treat every pet like my own and go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

Sophia is great! She's super responsive and really awesome about giving updates during the stay. I do feel a bit guilty that my boy kept her up at night because he was upset missing my husband and I, but she was still professional about the whole situation and tried her best to keep my boy as comfortable as possible (and thankfully they were both able to nap later).

Sophia was great! She was quick to respond to my booking request and was flexible with my pickup and drop off times. She was an amazing sitter. She provided updates and pictures every day without me having to ask how my pet is doing first. She was very easy to communicate with and very understanding and attentive to my senior dog's health needs. I also really appreciated that she only cares for one pet at a time, which was important to me given my dogs special needs. I would definitely refer Sophia and would book again.

Sophia is amazing! She took great care of my dog and provided a ton of updates with pictures and videos. I felt reassured that my dog was in good hands while I was away.

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.
