Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Caring, & Reliable Pet Sitter
What sets me apart is the combination of lifelong experience, patience, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I grew up with large breeds like Rottweilers, have cared for high-energy dogs like a Brittany Spaniel, and gave a retired greyhound the gentle, structured care she needed after life on the racetrack. I’ve also spent the past decade helping friends and family with their pets, which has given me experience with doodles, pit bulls, labs, Goldens, beagles, and many mixed breeds. I have a soft spot for senior pets and those with special needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, helping with mobility support, and providing calm companionship for pets with separation anxiety. I’m also confident with puppies and basic training commands — I helped train my family’s Brittany Spaniel, and I always reinforce good habits on walks. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and adapt my care to meet their unique personality and comfort level.

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on caring for pets in their own homes so they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to make sure they feel secure while their owners are away. With nervous or shy pets, I move at their pace — sometimes that means quiet companionship, and other times it’s lots of play and affection. During house-sitting stays, I keep the household running smoothly in addition to caring for the pets. I can look after multiple animals, including dogs, cats, small pets, and even fish. I always tidy up after myself, wash any dishes I use, and am happy to collect mail or take out the trash for longer visits. My goal is for owners to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a house just as they left it — or better.
Ratings and reviews
Sophia is a wonderful catsitter. Thanks for taking great care of our cats and always going above and beyond!
Sophia stayed in our home and cared for our dog and two cats while we were away on vacation for a week. She was respectful of our home, kept everything tidy, and ensured our pets were well cared for. When we returned, all three of our fur babies were healthy, happy, and clearly comfortable in her care. During our trip, our dog got into the trash and required an emergency trip to the vet to induce vomiting. Sophie handled the situation responsibly, communicated with us promptly and clearly, and made sure our dog received the care she needed. Thankfully, she made an easy recovery without much issue. Based on our experience, I would not hesitate to hire Sophia again as a house sitter or pet sitter and would confidently recommend her to others.
Sophia was amazing! Very responsive and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her!
Sophia goes above and beyond. She does a great job with watching our cat when we're out of town!
Thank you so much! We are very happy with your help.
Sophia is awesome! She took loving care of our two medium sized dogs. They can be a handful but she cared for them expertly! Can't wait to work with her again.

Schedule
Pet care is an easy and natural fit for my daily routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, with only one regular dog walk midday Monday–Thursday, which leaves me plenty of time to care for new clients. I love making space in my week to spend time with animals, whether that means daily walks, drop-ins, or longer house-sitting stays. I’m also committed to giving each pet my full attention and keeping owners updated so they always feel at ease while I’m with their pets.

- I always like to know each pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medications they need. It’s also helpful to learn about their quirks — whether they’re nervous around strangers or other dogs, tend to pull on the leash, have favorite toys, or need a little extra patience. For cats, I like to know if they’re shy, outgoing, or somewhere in between so I can approach them in a way that feels safe. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for each pet.
