Availability

I’m currently a full-time master's student at UNCW! For the summer, I will be working full-time, 8am-5pm on Monday through Friday. Additionally, I typically keep most house sittings to 2 nights max, to accommodate my other commitments. Feel free to request whatever dates you need, and we can discuss if there’s a way to make it work! For drop-ins and dog walks, I am available any time on weekends. On weekdays, my drop-in/walk schedule is before 7:30am or after 5:30pm. When in doubt, request what you need and I will do my best to work with you!

Information Sophia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary preferences/restrictions, or anything you think is relevant! I do have experience with reactive dogs, and I am happy to work with them.

A typical day

A typical day with me means plenty of play, attention, and care. I love taking dogs out for fetch and exercise, and I also add in mentally stimulating activities like puzzle toys or training games. As an owner of a high energy pup, I am used to lots of daily play!

We love Sophia! She takes excellent care of our dog when we travel and sends us photos and thorough check-ins which always puts us at ease. We trust her wholeheartedly with our boy! Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Sophia was so lovely, so kind and my kitty absolutely adored her. She sent lots of picture updates - which I loved cause I always miss my lil baby when I’m traveling. Would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
