Information Sophia Z. would like to know about your pet

Some things to share with me for proper care: •Energy level •Feeding schedule •Walking schedule •Relevant medical information •Bathroom habits (Accidents happen! I absolutely don’t mind, so don’t be afraid to let me know. Knowing beforehand allows me to prepare their environment and my expectations) •If you prefer to meet before booking (Always a yes from me!)

A typical day

For high energy dogs, I opt for long walks or a jog to keep them happy and busy. I live near a dog park and like to take them there too. For low energy dogs, I love to cuddle! I also try to take them outside to soak up some sun or a nice breeze during warmer months, and give them some fresh air/a change of scenery.

I like big mutts and I cannot lie😎

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs on a professional level for about 3 years, though my personal caregiving services have extended for 5+ years. There’s a very special place in my heart for animals and I’d love to make more room for yours.

Sophia took excellent care of our golden doddle Kobe. She answered all my questions , and provided frequent updates. Kobe was very comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

We’ve boarded our dog with Sophia many times. She’s absolutely wonderful. She takes really good care of him and keeps us updated with pictures. She takes him for long walks. Since he’s a picky eater, she makes sure he eats and will try multiple different things. We highly recommend her.

My dog WangWang had a great time with Sophia. Sophia took good care of him and took him to nearby dog park for a fun. We will definitely consider Sophia as our dog sitter again for next time.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
