Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to get to know each animal so I can provide care that is tailored to their individual needs, routines, and personality. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always paying attention to their comfort, behavior, and well-being. With experience caring for a wide range of animals, I understand that every pet has unique boundaries and quirks, and I make it a priority to respect those while building trust at their own pace. My goal is to ensure each pet feels secure, understood, and comfortable while in my care.

Information Sophia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or a history of reacting to particular triggers. I want to make sure I can provide the best possible care for them, and any details about their quirks, routines, or preferences are always helpful.

A typical day

I love to figure out how to meet your dogs needs best, whether its running alongside me or taking slow meandering walks, I enjoy finding the best way to engage each pet.

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs and have had large dogs of my own. This taught me how to care for dogs of all temperaments and how to get to know each dogs preferred walking and play style. I enjoy getting to know each pets rhythms and keeping them conformable as they get their daily exercise. I also offer attentive drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I provide dependable dog walking and drop-in pet care in Santa Monica for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each animal’s routine, personality, and needs. Outside of Rover, I’m a wildlife rescue volunteer and foster parent to cats, which has given me hands-on experience with animals from a wide range of backgrounds and temperaments. Whether it’s regular dog walking in Santa Monica or reliable drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure every pet feels secure and cared for.

Sophia did a great job with my shy dog. I would recommend her dog whispering skills to everyone!

Sophia was absolutely wonderful. She is a fantastic walker and sitter who is punctual, communicative, and puts the dog's well-being first. When my dog was feeling anxious and refusing walks during the visits, Sophia handled it beautifully—she adapted very well, sat down to comfort my dog, and communicated with me. She made sure my dog was well-fed and cared for. Will be booking her again in the future!

Sophia has loved animals since she was a little girl. Sophia has grown up with dogs and has loved them! Sophia’s first word was DOG! She has a great connection to animals and is very reliable and trustworthy. She also is very strong and fit to walk or run with your animal. ,

With complete trust and peace of mind, we highly recommend Sophia Spry to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Sophia did an excellent job walking our dogs, Murphy and Olive, and always treated them with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. We felt completely confident leaving our dogs in her care, and they were always happy and excited to see her. Any dog owner would be lucky to have Sophia caring for their pets.
