Excited to be friends w/your pet!
Pet care experience
I am an experienced volunteer with both NYC's Animal Care Centers and Animal Project NYC. I have specialized experience in caring and fostering unsocialized cats and kittens. I grew up with cats and dogs in my home and have two of my own cats. I have provided independent drop in, sitter, and walking services for the last 5 years. I love meeting new pets and getting to know new cats and dogs!
Reviews
Sophia was so good with my cats! I have a very skiddish cat and was worried he wouldn’t come out from under the bed while I was gone but Sophia made him feel very comfortable and sent me photos of him cuddling with her! Would definitely book again!
Sophia was *awesome*. Super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and went over and above to take care of our Lucy. I highly recommend if you're looking for someone to drop in on, play with, and care for your pet.
Sophia was great! Timely and communicative. Gave my shy boy space and daily feedback even though she didn’t always see him. 10/10 recommend!
Sophia took great care of our chihuahua for a week, providing regular updates and cute photos.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take a very personal approach for each pet and situation. I know how particular care can be for various pets, so I will do my best to follow any instructions I am given. I really enjoy sending updates about your little one, and will keep you updated in a detailed way with photos! Safety is of utmost importance so I will always make sure your dog is harnessed and leashed up properly before we leave for a walk. For cats I am very respectful of their boundaries and always make sure to follow their lead with social time.
Information Sophia U. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs of your pets! If your pets have any specific triggers, allergies, or general concerns it can help me be better informed for the safety of your animal and myself. I'll be sure to be communicative if there are any concerns I have after you provide this information!
A typical day
I love being able to give dogs new experiences still within their comfort zone. We can check out nearby parks, take walks, and fit in some playtime. With cats I take the time to play with them, take care of their space while you're away. With both cats and dogs and I am careful to watch for their body language and comfort to see what they are interested in whether it's cuddles or playtime!

I am a freelancer who works within the Film and Television Industry, so I maintain a very flexible schedule for last minute drop ins and walks! Connecting with animals gives me a lot of personal fulfillment as well, so coming to care for your pets will likely be a highlight of my day!
