Information sophia m. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know if your pets need any medication, if they typically sleep through the night without needing to go to the bathroom, if they are anxious around other dogs or around strangers, or if they are generally stressed in new spaces.

A typical day

I love exploring trails and going on long walks in the area. I know that dogs need to be mentally stimulated as much as physically, so I am happy to design smell puzzles for them. I have a car so we can find new parks in the area. I love geocaching and think it's always better with a furry friend and a good way for us to walk and explore the area.

Pet care experience

I grew up with two standard poodles from their puppy years to being old men, so I'm prepared for the challenges and joys that any stage of dog care can bring. I love going on long walks and taking furry friends geocaching! I'm patient and understand that consistency and affection is necessary to reinforce good behavior. I also know that every dog parent knows their dog best and misses them dearly when they are away, so I am prepared to follow any instructions and provide as many photos and updates as you need!

We were away for 3 weeks in Italy, never left my dogs with anyone but family before. I was unsure and nervous but when i met Sophia, i was encouraged by her care for the dogs and genuine interest in the needs of my dogs. She stayed in touch with updates and pictures during our time away. When we returned it was obvious that they were well cared for! I will definitely use her services in the future.

Sophia was great. My dog never knew I existed when she walked in.

Sophia was awesome. Clearly a dog lover, she made arranging and watching our dog Rico a breeze. She’s a great communicator and very enthusiastic about spending time with her furry friends. We also appreciated the regular photo updates of his adventures. Couldn’t recommend Sophia more highly!

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.
