Your family, my furry friends!
Pet care experience
Greetings Neighbors, (*available during covid19) I live in Alexandria and work in crystal city area. I am on rover because I love animals and rover allows me to meet/make new furry friends and people. I have been dog sitting for clients on and outside of Rover for about two years now and would consider myself an experienced sitter. Lately I have been busy pet setting via word of mouth and client recommendations. My calendar is not always up to date, feel free to contact me and we can set up a meet and greet! I own one cat and have two chihuahuas that are like my siblings in Florida (my mom treats them as such). I have House sat for many of my neighbors pets through the years growing up. I am available to watch small, dogs in my home and can walk and check in on pets of all sizes. I have a cat that is friendly with dogs and enjoys watching them from afar. I am experienced at giving medication (pills/liquid) to dogs and cats. I can also put mail and packages inside, and sign off on packages. I will leave your house as clean as I find it if not a little better! I believe pets are like family members and need loving attention and playtime. My cat is neutered and up to date on all shots, if you would like me to babysit your cat I need them to be up to date on shots as well. Mickey enjoys playing hide and seek with humans and cats. My special skills- long or short walks, scooping poop, back rubs, belly rubs, chin rubs, and yummy treats, fetch, squeaky toys, cleaner of pet ears and eyes, brushing hair, and can cut cat nails if kitty doesn’t mind. I will keep your pet safe and cared for as if it were my own. I am very responsible when it comes to taking care of pets because I would like the same for my own pet if I were away. I am a Navy veteran and my coworkers/friends would consider me very trustworthy, hopefully that eases your mind! Rest assured your pet and household is in good hands with me. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting your pet soon!
Reviews
Sophia was great with our special-needs cat and we are sure he liked her too! She really spent some time with him, brushing him and getting to know his odd ways and tricks. She was able to pill him successfully without him throwing up (which is not always successful even when WE do it!). She was always promt and took the time to make sure he was getting what he needed. We would definitely use Sophia again!
I found a wonderful sitter for my dog. She's very responsible, caring, and my dog LOVES her. Everyday she sends me images of what they have done together. She is a GEM!
First time with Sophia! She met with us and Bentley in advance and Bentley took to her right away. She was automatically engaged with him and focused on getting him comfortable with her. She came early for the actual sitting job and sent us a text, picture and video right away. She stayed communicative the entire time and I felt very comfortable and safe having her in my home and caring for my dog. She is very responsible. I already booked her again!
Sophia was wonderful with our pets. She sent updates regularly with photos to keep us well informed. She was very professional as well. Highly recommend!

Information Sophia M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, my only preference is a friendly, healthy, spayed/neutered pet.
A typical day
I can take your dog on long or short walks, and walks around my neighborhood or yours. If one of your pets gets tired on a walk, I can carry them while other dogs enjoy the walk. I have a big backyard perfect for fetch and running around chasing balls.
