Pet care experience

Hey pet owners! My name is Sophia, and I am so excited to meet you and your fur babies. Caring for animals is more of an enjoyment than a job for me. I have spent time volunteering at the local animal shelter and have worked as a Pet Care Specialist at a pet's hotel. At the pet's hotel, I ran day camps, cared for overnight stays, and groomed animals. I went through vigorous training and learned the necessities and safety skills of boarding. I also have my certifications in dog and cat First Aid and CPR by the American Red Cross. Eventually, I realized that I could do this all in my own home without charging the owner an arm and a leg. Growing up, I have always had animals in my household. In fact, have never lived without owning a chihuahua! Most importantly, I know how hard it is to find someone to watch your pets and feel confident about your decision. You can trust me when it comes to taking care of your fur babies. I guarantee happiness and love for your animal while you are away. The only people in my home are me and my partner, who also has experience with taking care of animals. Safety is our number one priority. I will keep you updated as much as you like with updates and pictures. My phone will always be answered if you call. I go out of my way to give your pet my undivided attention while they are in my care. They will never be bored or unmonitored. I have a lot of experience with small breeds, especially chihuahuas, as I have owned a chihuahua through my entire life! You can count on me to make sure your small dog is in good hands. Toys are always provided and cleaned between each visit. I also offer baths- please view details for more information.

Sophia was so good to Holly! She has a very calm personality that helped to calm Holly. She was great at keeping me updated on how Holly was doing, and also sent photos. I loved the printed puppy report she sent home with us, when I picked up Holly. I would absolutely recommend Sophia to others.

Safety, trust & environment

You can always trust me around your fur babies. They will never be left alone. If I am watching your dog, they are my commitment- everything else comes after. I have a fenced yard and always monitor dogs while they are both outside and inside. I will not take them off leash in public, and will watch for signs of stress. I am trained on how to detect and act in case of an emergency. As stated above, safety is my number one priority.

Information Sophia T. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog is spayed/neutered, potty-trained, house-trained, breed, and energy level. If there are any medical conditions, I would need to be informed. This information should be included in the app, so please take the time to fill out pet information. This helps us Rover sitters greatly! Lastly, please let me know if you are alright with other dogs around. I will not double book if you don’t want your dog being around others. I always inform every owner when adding another dog on board.

A typical day

I have a nice yard that is perfect for fetch, but I am not limited to my home. I enjoy going on hikes and walks, and even the beach. Your furry friend would have a blast! Some dogs, common in older dogs, enjoy cuddles and sleep all day- that can definitely be a typical day. The day will be personalized for your pet's specific needs.
