Pet care experience

I have grown up caring for dogs and cats. I have lovingly fostered 15+ shelter puppies and dogs until they were placed into their forever homes. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs needing medication and special care. I'm very experienced with anxious and shy dogs and I treat each dog differently according to their individual needs. I am attentive, playful and very patient! Let me spoil your dog with the attention and love he/she deserves! You will receive videos and photos via text from each time we spend together. I have a very flexible schedule and am prompt with each scheduled appointment.

I had an absolutely positive experience with Sophia! They were so professional and caring, and they sent me regular updates with photos and videos of my fur baby looking happy and relaxed. It was clear that Smokey was in great hands and was being spoiled with attention and playtime. I am so grateful to have found Sophia. I can trust, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future. I highly recommend them to any pet parent looking for a reliable and loving caregiver for their furry friend!

Sophia recently cared for my 14-year-old Chihuahua, Eve, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Eve requires extra patience, attention, and medication for an ear infection, and Sophia handled everything with total care and confidence. She made sure Eve was comfortable, calm, and loved the entire time. Sophia is incredibly attentive and compassionate with dogs. You can immediately tell she truly cares about their wellbeing, not just their basic needs. She paid close attention to Eve’s routines, moods, and health, and kept me updated so I always felt at ease. On top of that, Sophia is professional, friendly, and extremely responsible. She communicates clearly, follows instructions perfectly, and treats every pet like her own. I would trust her with any dog without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter on Rover.

Sophia is one of the BEST dog moms I have ever met! She is really in tune with what dogs need and has a great temperament being super patient; making her an ideal person to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Sophia has watched my dog more times than I can count and has always been a trusted second mom to my dog. Not only that but is super good when it comes to dealing with difficult dogs; something I have leaned on more than once. For example, when my senior dog started to struggle with peeing in the house I reached out to her to see if she had any ideas. She suggested belly bands which have been a lifesaver, and something I would have never thought of had she not made the suggestion. I am super picky about who I let dogsit my dogs and for the past 8 years Sophia has been my go to for: dog walks, dog sitting, dog play dates, and anything else dog related. She even helped out when I needed someone to feed a friend's cats.

I cannot recommend Sophia enough! She watched my high-energy fur baby Boomer for a weekend. She sent me photos every day, and even took him to the beach. He came back happy and tired. I will definitely book with her again!
