Energetic pet sitter and dog walker

Pet care experience

I am a dedicated and hardworking recent graduate (from UMass Boston). I am a friendly, trustworthy, and responsible pet care provider and animal lover. I am committed to good communication with pet owners and am flexible and reliable to work with. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, cats, freshwater fish, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs, chickens, and horses. My experience in care provided ranges from walks three times daily to administering medication twice daily to three weeks of in-home pet sitting. Cats: long term care, changing food and water, wet food, administering medication via pill pockets multiple times per day, cleanliness and upkeep including brushing, vacuuming, and cleaning litter boxes. Dogs: daily walks, using a muzzle, gentle leader, etc for walking a large lab/pit bull mix who is nervous around other dogs, changing food and water, cleanliness and upkeep including brushing, vacuuming, and changing pee pads, as well as taking dogs to grooming appointments. Besides walks, I love to provide lots of hugs and play time.

Sophie always gives Atlas great walks (even when Atlas is stubborn or difficult) and she always communicates well and shares pictures.

Sophia went above and beyond in caring for Nimbus! On one of her visits, she had found a dead mouse in my apartment and disposed of it for me, which I incredibly appreciated and assured me that she was giving my apartment and my pets the same amount of care that I do. I would rely on her again to watch my bunnies!

Thanks for another great week of walks for Atlas! We really appreciate your punctuation, reliability, and especially your kindness and patience with Atlas!

Sophia took great care of our little chihuahua while we were away for ten days. She kept us regularly updated with photos, asked questions, and kept our place clean. Panda was clearly quite comfortable and happy. We highly recommend Sophia's services.

Safety, trust & environment

I love animals but sadly do not currently have any of my own. I grew up around dogs, cats, and horses, so I understand animals have different levels of comfort or anxiety when meeting new people. I believe remaining calm, gentle, and consistent is how to begin to form a positive relationship between me and the pet I am caring for!

Information Sophia M. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know if your pet has specific needs for care (for example: I sat for a dog who couldn’t be around other dogs due to trauma) this is important for me to know so I can make the safest decisions when caring/walking your pets!

A typical day

I (like most dogs) have a lot of energy, so I love going for walks and spending time playing outside. For kitties or other housebound pets playing with provided toys or just sitting and spending time together. I can pet, brush/comb, and give lots of love.
