House Sitting • Jul 10, 2026

Sophia took great care of Gary and was very accommodating of his needs (medication and activity restriction). I would happily book with her again!

Sophia was wonderful with my 16.5-yr-old Shichon Rocky. He has health issues and was very barky and agitated during his stay with her, but she was kind, accommodating and patient every step of the way. She sent me pictures and videos daily, along w updates on how he was doing. She also diligently gave him meds his everyday. Would highly recommend her, and would happily leave Rocky w her again.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 16, 2023

Sophia was excellent! She was extremely flexible and communicative— even changing her schedule around to accommodate watching Arnie— and was very understanding of our late-night pick up/work hours. It was clear Arnie felt comfortable and had a great time. Thank you, Sophia, for taking such great care of her!

Schedule

I work fully remotely for a non-profit music organization, which means my schedule is incredibly flexible. Your pet will have my company throughout the day, and it would be very rare for them to be left alone for more than four hours at a time.

Safety, trust & environment

For me, pet care is all about keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while giving you total peace of mind. I stick strictly to your normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll send you plenty of photo updates along the way so you can see how much fun we're having, and I always treat your home with the utmost respect.

A typical day

Since I work from home, a typical day is completely customized to your pet. For active dogs, we’ll take regular breaks to play fetch and burn off some energy. For more laid-back pets or seniors, they can lounge comfortably right next to me while I work. And always with walks and potty breaks throughout the day.

We can discuss your dog's special needs or behavior's upon service request. I’m very flexible and open minded, without judgement or complaints. Most important is that your dog and your are comfortable.
