Information Sophia P. would like to know about your pet
I always ask the essential questions about temperament, schedule, and medical needs but details about what makes your dog who they really are are absolutely welcome. Please do not hesitate to let me know of any of your dog's quirks, preferences, or anything else that might help me make them as happy as possible!
A typical day
Does your dog like long, slow walks where they sniff every tree or running with the pack at the dog park? No matter what it is, I love finding out what each dog's "thing" is and enjoying it with them! My dog, Condor, loves watching TV, which never fails to entertain me. I'll make sure that your dog gets plenty of whatever it is that they love and send you pictures along the way! I always send detailed, precise summaries of my drop-ins and walks along with quality photos.

Humane Society Trained Dog Lover!
Pet care experience
Like most dog lovers, I've had dogs my whole life. In college, I started volunteering at a large humane society where I learned how to walk and care for dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes. My own adopted dogs have ranged from effortless angel to extremely anxious with abuse histories and earning the love and trust of each of them is a joy that drives me every day. I am also happy to care for cats, though my experience there is limited to caring for family pets! My schedule is extremely flexible. I am generally available on short notice and happy to work with others who have unpredictable schedules or unexpected emergencies. For housesitting, I prefer to go home to my own dog at night and thus usually don't accept sleep-over housesitting bookings that are over two nights long, though I may make occasional exceptions. The wellbeing of every pet is my first priority. From my personal and volunteer experience, I understand that our pets can be incredibly different in their needs and preferences. I consider anxious, reactive, and rescue dogs to be my specialty! I'm happy to discuss your pet’s needs in-depth and will do my best to ensure the highest standard of care. If you're unsure, message me about a meet and greet! Meet and greets are a wonderful opportunity for me to introduce myself to your dog and discuss their care with you.
Reviews

Sophia is the absolute best, I could not recommend her more. This is the second booking she’s looked after our puppy Poppy and she’s been fabulous every time. Poppy was spayed 3 days ago, and Sophia got her to take all her pills (no small feat as our girl is very squirmy) and is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive. We are so thrilled to know Sophia and she is our go-to for puppy care.

Sophia is amazing! Her updates were so thorough and she was so kind and thoughtful with my big baby girl. She’s great with sensitive dogs and I’d recommend her to my closest friends and really everyone.

Sophia is a life saver and so caring with our new puppy! Highly recommend :)

Sophia was amazing to work with. From the very first message, I could tell she read through our profile and came with questions to ask. She followed everything we asked to a T and was incredibly flexible to add a schedule day when I had a last minute schedule change. She left such detailed Rover cards and handled everything seamlessly. We’ll definite be booking with her again!
