Meet Your Pet’s Second-Best Friend!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a UNCW Biology graduate that has always held a strong passion for animals. My coursework has included a four-course certificate program centered around public access training service dogs. Even after earning my certificate, I spent 2 more years volunteering with the dogs and puppies. I've grown up with dachshunds and currently own a 4 year old chow mix named Kyra. On walks, I use an app which both tracks the time and distance traveled, but also donates a small amount of money to a selected animal organization depending on the duration and distance. Growing up, I had the opportunity to pet-sit and walk for several neighborhood families over summer break and have loved pet care ever since. I look forward to sharing great experiences with pups of all shapes and personalities! Besides dogs, I am also a cat lover and I have experience with several types of exotics, including small mammals, small reptiles, and small birds. I am also a pet photographer and a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator!
Reviews
Sophia was awesome! Loved the daily updates as well as the pictures! I would highly recommend her
Sophia ia amazing!! She is wonderful with my dog and takes the time to help him with his meds and to wrap his foot if needed. We are so fortunate to have found Sophia!! Highly recommend.
Takes fantastic photos of our dogs during visits!! Extremely professional and reliable.
Sophia was great! My husband and I frequently go out of town so it was very comforting knowing our kitties were well taken care of. I highly recommend Sophia and we will definitely be requesting her services in the future!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority. I take care when entering and exiting houses to ensure no escape artists slip through. I don’t allow greetings with neighbor dogs during our walks, as it is a safety concern to let dogs I have not met interact with the dog I’m caring for.
Information Sophia P. would like to know about your pet
Your dog’s energy level, size, and reaction triggers (such as other dogs, squirrels, or bikes) are important for me to know so I can prepare accordingly. Any relevant medical information, such as allergies or injuries is very helpful.
A typical day
Depending on your location, my main walk options would be your neighborhood, my neighborhood, or a nearby park! Give me a favorite toy to bring along if you'd like! Be sure to tell me your pet's favorite activities so I can make sure your pet has a great time while you're away.

Availability
Pet care is my full time job! I am available daily but I do have a pretty solid weekly rotation of dog walks set in place, so specific times may not always be available.
