Highlights
Pet care experience
your pets are in great hands! <3
I have always loved all types of animals! I have taken a few classes at UConn for canine and feline behavior and one animal training class. I own a cat currently, and I own and have alot of experience caring for tons of exotic animals from reptiles to amphibians and small mammals. I am very comfortable around all types of animals and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have volunteered back at home in NYC for SI Hope to care for kittens and older cats. I have done multiple dog volunteer days at the ACC so I am experienced with handling dogs and puppies alike. I’m also reliable, responsible, and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! When caring for pets in their own home, I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you’re away!
Ratings and reviews
As Sophia’s mom, I’ve always admired how naturally caring she is with animals. She has volunteered for years with SI HOPE and SI ACC, giving her time whenever she can, even during school breaks. She also cares for her own little zoo of snakes, lizards, fish, a cat, dwarf hamsters, and a tortoise! She truly loves animals and takes their care seriously. I know she’ll treat every pet as her own, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust.
Sophia is the person I would trust the most with all my pets! She has lots of knowledge about all types of pets-from turtles to dogs! She is caring, thorough, and reliable. Every pet is treated like her own!
Sophia is the type of sitter who goes above and beyond for your pets. There’s no one else I’d trust more with mine. She puts real effort into long walks, playtime, and keeping pets engaged because she genuinely loves animals. I’ve seen it firsthand: I went with her to the shelter every week to take dogs out for the day. She’s worked with reactive, high energy, and elderly dogs, and she’s patient with each one. Sophia is reliable, kind, and willing to put in the work to make sure your pet feels cared for!
I highly recommend Sophia as a pet caregiver because of how incredibly responsible, loving, and attentive she is. Her attitude towards all animals clearly shows how much she genuinely cares about them. Sophia already has several pets of her own and goes above and beyond to make sure they are always happy, healthy, and well cared for. There was even a time where she found kittens who were left behind on the street and brought them into her home to care for them before the shelter could take them. I would 100% feel comfortable trusting her with any pet and know they would be treated like family.

- I would love to know about your pet’s normal routine and any specific needs they may have. Please let me know about any medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral concerns, or things that may make them nervous or uncomfortable. I would also love to know their temperament and behavior please with strangers or other animals for walks. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy!
