Responsible and kind dog care

Pet care experience

Through having dogs myself, dog walking, and taking care of friends dogs for the past 9 years I have experience sitting, walking, and playing with dogs. In the past year I have adopted the sweetest dog named Cariño, a 35 pound terrier mix, and have cared for them through their puppy stages and now into adulthood! I primarily have experience with dogs weighing 10-60 pounds and dogs of all ages. I'm good at taking control of a situation and can also understand when a dog is scared, upset, or just needs a break. I have a car so I can come to you and live walking distance from Lake Merritt. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to go on hikes, walks, or check in on your pup! I am flexible during weekdays and am unavailable on weekends currently. I have experience raising my own currently one and a half year dog. I can easily crate your dog and leave them well-rested. I do not let dogs go outside unleashed unless there are specific instructions to do so.

I love my dog, but lord knows she is a ball of chaos! Sophia is such a patient & prepared caretaker and walker for my dog. I can tell Sophia's been around a lot of dogs and can handle whatever mischief they get up to. I also really appreciate the sweet reports that Sophia gives me of what my dog did on the walk/at the park/on the hike. So glad to have met Sophia -- my dog always has a blast with them and comes home tired out and happy.

Sophia grew up with a very loved dog in her family. I believe she has the compassion and responsibility to care for any other sweet dog as well.

Sophia is a very responsible, kind, animal lover. She will follow your specific needs and treat your animal with care. You can trust that she will make sure your pup is happy and loved!

Sophia walked my two adult huskies and dachshund puppy every day for three weeks when I was sick and unable to. I observed her with my three canine friends multiple times and she was always very patient and loving with them, but firm when she needed to be (those huskies can get pretty wild). She was always punctual and polite to me, and took my pups on nice long walks that they would return from worn out and happy. She's a responsible person and a very able handler of dogs. Highly, highly recommended!
