Can I be your dogs 2nd best friend?

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a lifelong dog lover. I was essentially born loving and caring for dogs. Starting around age 8 or 9 I began walking my neighbors dogs for A DOLLAR. Yep; Dollar Dog Walks. Talk about inflation 🤣 I am a stay at home mom, two human toddlers and one Aussie pup. You can say my life revolves around my pack. We have a pretty good balanced routine in place which allows my calendar to be flexible. Outside; we have a great open fenced in backyard, great for potty, play and just air breaks. I do enjoy walking to the nearest park or around the block as I think it’s more interesting for the pups. (And TikTok says sniffing on walks is like dog social media lol) Inside; I’ll start by mentioning again we have two small kids. They are both phenomenal with dogs and very gentle. That being said, the house is completely baby proofed thus essentially being dog proofed too. My own dog is crate trained as he is still pretty young (so I don’t allow that freedom yet). If I have to leave the house briefly, I also have a baby gate to make my hallway a temptation-less, dog safe area. If you are most comfortable giving me the okay to allow 100% free range if I have to step outside, that’s also no problem. Also, I wanted to mention, though I do live on the first floor. There is a small flight of stairs to get to our front door. I know not all dogs are able to walk up and down so I’m willing to carry dogs up to 60pounds up and down the steps. (also if you’d like, I can work with young dogs who just need some step training.)

Sophia was so great with Rambo! I was so nervous about leaving him since I just got him but Sophia made me feel so comfortable with leaving him. We left for 10 days and it was like we never left because he had so much fun and took great care of him! She sent pictures everyday of him playing and having lots of fun! She even let me FaceTime him while we were gone…..she was so great with him.whenever we travel again Sophia will be my 1st choice. She did an awesome job with Rambo.

Sophia is great with the cats! Our cats are skittish, but she’s always able to soothe them on her visits. She follows all instructions which it critical for our Litter Robot. We hired her multiple times now and always feel comforted knowing she’s checking in on the cats.

My tow dogs spent 4 days with Sophia and Peter (while we did tourist activities in Manhattan, and we took the dogs back each night). The dog sitting was perfect! Each morning the dogs were very happy to meet Sophia/Peter.

Sophia was absolutely great with our dogs—always keep us up to date , sent pictures and videos. Both dogs had a great time! Can’t thank her enough for taking care of Petey and Nugget.

I take my responsibility with your fur baby very seriously so I am with them 99% of the time. I allow pretty much free range unless I have multiple (i take up to 3 clients during the day but only 2 overnight) from different homes. I prefer to separate them in their own comfy zones (hallway , living room or kitchen) especially for feeding and sleeping. Unless it’s a supervised playtime.

Information Sophia O. would like to know about your pet

I’ve broken down most my questions into general yes or no. I’d like to know the following; Allergies? Medical conditions? Enjoy running? Dog park safe? Reactive to other dogs? Reactive to strollers? Resource guards food? Resource guards toys? Crate trained? Love cuddles? *PLEASE BRING FOOD FOR BOARDING.* I have treats but I do not account for providing food in my rates.

A typical day

We spend a lot of time playing in the back yard or the park. If we aren’t at the park or out walking, we are chillin under the AC. Or in winter next to the radiator lol
