Must say “Hi!” to every dog I see!
Pet care experience
Thanks so much for considering me to care for your best friend! I have cared for dogs for over 10 years doing so independently, as well as on Rover + Wag!, garnering 150+ 5-star reviews + counting! I have clients that have been with me for 5+ years and most of my clients were gained through referrals. I recently moved back home with my mom and sister in the suburbs while I do freelance work. Most of my work is done remotely and If I go out I am very mindful of time spent away from your pets so I am never gone more than 6 hours. I travel for house sitting in the nearby suburbs or the city. I started out mostly walking dogs and after college I worked as a dog walker and sitter full time for 9 months and continue to do so on the side of my full time job now! I do not take the care of your best friend lightly, I treat every pet in my care like my own. I am a homebody so I love nothing more than spending time with your pet. What my clients love about me is that when I give their pets my undivided attention + treat them like they’re my child. My goal is to truly connect with your pet so they are as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re away which also lets you enjoy your vacation even more! I have experience caring for pets with special needs and every age from a fresh puppy to a 3 legged dog and elderly cats. I love taking the extra time to pamper and care for your pet like they are mine while you are away so you come home not only to a clean home but a happy pet!
Reviews
Sophie did a fantastic job with our high energy pups! She checked in daily and sent lots of pictures. Wilson and Sugar can’t wait to hang with her again!
Sophie was wonderful! She sent us regular updates and so many sweet photos. It was clear that our pup was at ease when we returned from our trip. She also took amazing care of our home, going so far as to wash our linens before we returned so that we didn’t have to. Will definitely book again!
Sophie was incredible! She was great at communicating updates and took perfect care of my kittens while we were gone.
Sophie was absolutely fantastic with Thunder and Luna! From the get go, you can tell Sophie really loves pets and enjoys being with them. She shows great warmth, caring, and connection. Sophie clearly enjoys being with our fur babies! We could tell all the great care and concern she showed to them during our absence. They seemed so happy and content during the stay and when we returned. She sent wonderful pictures and really seemed to get their unique, quirky personalities. She comes highly recommended!

I like to leave your home and your home pet in tip top shape. I aim to spoil your pet and clean up after myself leaving your home in even better condition than when I arrived!
Information sophie b. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know their triggers so I can keep them safe on walks whether that may be from bicylists or puppies. I have walked dogs weighing 3-100+ lbs, multiple dogs and a wide range of breeds so I am able to provide care for any type of dog.
A typical day
I love going to dog parks! If the dog I am caring for is comfortable with other dogs it is so much fun to supervise their playing and watch them interact with each other. I also LOVE playing fetch!

I work remotely so I can spend all day with your pets. To be honest I am quite a homebody so I spend most of my time with your pet. Whenever I do leave your home I return in 6 hours or less but of course I can accommodate for your pet if that’s too long.
