Pet care experience

Fur is my favorite accessory

Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I care for dogs, birds, and two ferrets at home, and I majored in Animal Science with hands-on experience working with horses, cows, pigs, and sheep. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved — whether that means playtime, cuddles, or giving medications when needed.

Sophia is such a great auntie to my two boy kittens. Every time she comes over to care for them they get so excited, especially when she brings fun toys! The litter boxes are always clean and their water fountain and food bowls are filled. She makes sure to give them lots of cuddles and pets which they love. She is an all around animal lover and I am so blessed to have her care for my boys.

Sophia did an awesome job taking care of my ten dogs and 5 cats. She was super reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly great with animals. She followed all their routines, made sure they were well cared for, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. My dogs were happy, well-exercised, and comfortable with her, and even my cat warmed up to her quickly. When I got home, everyone was calm and content, and everything was in great shape. It was such a relief knowing my pets were in good hands. I’d absolutely book Sophia again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter

I cannot recommend Sophia highly enough as a pet sitter! She has taken care of my cat, hermit crabs, and even my axolotl multiple times, and every single experience has been outstanding. From the very beginning, Sophia has been incredibly responsible, dependable, and genuinely caring toward all of my animals, not just the typical pets, but also those with more unique needs. She always takes the time to learn each pet’s routine, diet, and personality, and follows instructions perfectly. My cat absolutely adores her and is always calm and happy when I return home, which says a lot. Sophia makes sure to spend quality time with her, giving her attention, playtime, and lots of love instead of just rushing in and out. When it comes to my hermit crabs and axolotl, Sophia was amazing about maintaining their environments, making sure their tanks were clean, properly cared for, and that everything stayed at the right conditions. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that she was comfortable handling less common pets and took their care just as seriously. Sophia also keeps me updated while I’m away with messages and photos, which I really appreciate. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I always come home to happy, healthy pets and a clean space. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, kind, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about caring for animals, Sophia is absolutely the person you want. I would trust her with my pets anytime and highly recommend her to anyone using Rover!

Sophia is an amazing pet sitter! She is reliable, on time and treats my pets like they were her own. She does super well with my older dogs who can be a bit grumpy at times and handles them confidence which they respond well to. She has done well with my fussy birds making sure they had their daily veggie chop and were happy in clean cages!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m experienced with walking, crating, and supervised play, and I make sure pets feel calm, secure, and well cared for in both my home and yours. I’m also happy to welcome your furry friends into my home for a safe, comfortable, and loving stay.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of love, attention, and fun! I enjoy going on walks, especially to nearby nature trails, along with playtime, enrichment activities, and relaxation. Whether your pet is staying in my home or yours, I tailor each day to their energy level and personality.

I love learning about each pet before care begins! Please let me know about any medications, feeding schedules, or special needs. I’d also love to know your pet’s usual routine and activity level so I can provide the best care possible while keeping them happy and comfortable.
