About Sophia S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a treats (if allowed), a dog bed, bowls, toys and backup leash (but I prefer you bring the leash your dog is familiar with!). Please feel free to bring a crate if you’d like to crate your dog! When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on “Welcome Walk” where we get acquainted in the great outdoors. This allows me to build our bond in neutral space with plenty of positive stimulation for the dogs. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I have used the clicker training method in the past, and do not believe in any form of domineering or physical correction. Your dog will have a stable experience here!

Information Sophia S. would like to know about your pet
I’m happy to care for anxious, energetic or elderly dogs, but please share their temperament with me ahead of time. Anxious dogs often have special routines or calming medication, and I am happy to continue this routine in my home.
A typical day
Multiple walks a day either around my neighborhood or a neighboring large field that has a miles of walking paths. Lots of play and tons of cuddles.

Pet care experience
Lifelong dog owner with decades of experience caring for dogs both big and small. I work from home and am able to provide maximum companionship and plenty of exercise. Boarders or daycare get 2-3 walks/day, dozens of photos, and lots of love of course! I provide toys, bowls, a dog bed, treats, poop bags and a backup leash. A tired dog is a good dog :) feel free to bring your pet’s crate if you’d like! I grew up with border collies and labs, then rescued my own dogs in adulthood. One of my rescues was a very sick 3-month old puppy that I raised, so I am well-versed with puppy care. I do not currently have pets living in the home, so your dogs will have the run of the place! I own my own home on a quiet circle street. My yard is an expansive quarter acre of grass with access to miles of mowed walking paths off my backyard. When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on a “Welcome Walk” to get acquainted in neutral outdoor space. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets!

Reviews

Sophia took amazing care of my senior lab Finn! She sent updates daily and photos. I will definitely use her again.. wonderful care!!

We have been using Rover for about a decade in three different states. Sophia is the best we have ever dealt with. Ten stars on communication, attentiveness, and just obvious plain love for dogs. Her son is adorable and so sweet. We were actually afraid our boy would not want to come home with us. The environment she provides is also top shelf. We never had ANY concern about our loved one's care. Top notch sitter. Bravo Sophia !! Sincerely, Chris & Peggy Bella
Sophia and her son took great care of our baby!

Amazing, as always :)
