Hi, I’m Sophia!
Pet care experience
I’ve had pets of all kinds my whole life, from cats and dogs, to even turtles! I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a teenager. I believe animals have thoughts and feelings just like we do, and love getting to share a connection with them.
Reviews
Sophia is a very warm and compassionate caregiver. She takes the time to attend to each animal in a way that allows them to feel calm and cared for. I feel very confident in Sophia's abilities and appreciate her professionalism.
About Sophia S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My priority is earning the trust of any animal I sit for. It is important to me that they feel safe and comfortable when I am around. I know that many pets get very sad when their owners leave, no matter the length of time, so I always want to create a positive experience for them. It is important to me that I come into your house and stick to the routine your pet is used to. Be that feeding them at a certain time, making sure they are crated when no one is home, or walks in their regular location.
Information Sophia S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special info about your dog! Anything behavioral, or just their preferences or any special quirks they may have. It’s important to me that I get to know them well!
A typical day
I love being outside, and try to get the dogs as much outdoor time as possible. Whether that be playing in the yard, a walk in the neighborhood or park, or even adventuring in the woods. I am very familiar with all of the trails in Westfield’s Stanley Park and it is one of my favorite places to be! It’s also just as important to me that the dogs get lots of hugs and snuggles. Sometimes they just need a little chill-out time together!
Services
Sophia can watch in your home
Availability
I currently nanny part-time as well as TA a class at the university I just graduated from. These commitments only take up part of my days, so the flexibility of both my schedule and pet-sitting work well together.
