Loving Care for Pets, Peace of Mind

What sets me apart is that caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s truly my passion. I’m working toward becoming a Certified Veterinary Assistant and studying as a pre-vet student, so I bring not only love but also real knowledge about pet health and behavior. I’m also Pet CPR and First Aid certified, which gives me peace of mind knowing I can handle emergencies, and hopefully gives you peace of mind too. I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and other animals of all kinds. On top of that, I have a dog and cat of my own, so I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone else. I promise to treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for your pets, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I make sure to follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so your pets feel secure and at ease in their familiar environment. I take extra care to keep doors, leashes, and surroundings safe, and since I’m Pet CPR and First Aid certified, I’m prepared for any unexpected situation. I know how important trust is when letting someone care for your furry family, and I treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. Safe, reliable, and loving care—because your pets deserve the best.

I cannot recommend Sophia enough as a dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how deeply empathetic and kind she is with animals. She has a natural ability to make my dog feel calm, safe, and loved, which puts me at complete ease when I’m away. Sophia goes above and beyond in every way, from her thoughtful updates to the extra time she spends making sure my pup feels cared for and happy. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet with the same love and attention you do, but that’s exactly what Sophia does. She’s reliable, compassionate, and truly gifted when it comes to connecting with animals. I feel so lucky to have found her!

A pet is an extension of family, and Sophia Ospina will treat them as such. Miss Ospina is a hard worker who stands on values and principles that make her a joy to work with. As a loving pet owner herself, Miss Ospina understands how important it is to show the utmost care to all animals. She is a true humanitarian and an employee with common sense and grit. I'm proud to recommend Miss Ospina for this position and truly believe she is the right option through and through. Sophia Ospina will deliver a quality performance you can trust.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sophia as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I have seen firsthand how attentive and compassionate she is with animals, treating each pet with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. Sophia not only makes sure pets are safe and comfortable, but also goes the extra mile to keep them happy, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship. She is reliable, trustworthy, and detail-oriented, always making sure that feeding schedules, exercise routines, and special instructions are carefully followed. Any pet in her care will not only be well looked after but also truly loved. I have and will always trust her with my own pets without hesitation.

Schedule

Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. As a student at UC San Diego and part-time employee at a radiology company, I’ve learned how to stay organized and balance responsibilities in a professional way. That means I can reliably fit your pet’s needs into my schedule while giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for animals and studying veterinary medicine are truly two of my favorite things, and I can’t wait to apply my knowledge and passion toward keeping your pets happy, healthy, and loved.

Before caring for a pet, I like to gather all the important details to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I ask about their basic information, such as name, age, breed, and personality traits, as well as any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they may need. It’s also important to have the owner’s vet contact information, a preferred emergency hospital, and a backup emergency contact just in case. For daily care, I want to know their feeding schedule, how much food and what brand they eat, treat guidelines, bathroom routines like walks or litter box care, and how much exercise they usually get. I also check on house rules, including where the pet is allowed to sleep, whether they can be on furniture, what commands they know, and how long they can comfortably be left alone. To make them feel at home, I ask about their favorite toys, games, and enrichment activities, along with any quirks, favorite spots, or things that make them anxious and how to comfort them. Finally, I make sure I have practical details such as house access instructions, feeding and water station locations, cleaning supplies, and any trash or recycling routines. Collecting all of this information helps me provide consistent, reliable care that matches their normal routine.
