Experienced Pet Lover! *Just Moved*

Pet care experience

I’m new to the area and looking to get back into spending time with your pets! My pricing is a bit variable based on need, so reach out to me and see how we can meet your pet’s needs! Your pet is a huge part of your family. I know how important it is to feel safe and comfortable leaving a loved one with a new person when leaving the house. With me, your pet will have plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and exercise! A little about me: Growing up, I've had cats, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs in my family. I loved all animals growing up - I would love to shower my attention on your dog, cat, or other critter! I’ve had experience as a service dog puppy raiser. That means it was my job to bring a potential service dog puppy into my home, socialize it, and teach it some basic obedience. It's a tough life, I know! In WA, I spent a lot of time training my roommate's Aussie to do fun tricks like play dead, balance on his hind legs, and find his mom. I have experience with positive, reward-based clicker training and would be more than happy to try and teach your pup some new things as well. :) In terms of exercise and activity, I love taking pups to the outdoors. Depending on you and your dog, I would love to bring your pup on adventures to local dog parks, puppy play dates with puppy, or just some light training on a walk. Or, if you have a cuddly couch potato, I'm also happy to curl up in bed and watch Netflix with your pup. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind and to provide your pet with a new best friend. If I sound like a good match for you and your pet, send me a message! I'd love to meet you and your furry friend! With wags, Sophie

So glad we found Sophie! Our dogs love her and miss her already. She is very reliable, takes them on good walks and give them lots of rubs. Will definitely use her again and again!

Sophie is a professional on taking care of dogs. She helped us check, feed and play with our two dogs through drop-in visits. She is extremely responsive and very good with our dogs, I would rebook her service next time for sure if needed. Strongly recommended!

Sophie is a sweetheart, more importantly it’s obvious how much she loves animals, especially dogs. My dog Wyatt met her for the first time last week and he immediately felt at ease with her. Sophie took Wyatt out for an hour walk, and for the first time he actually took a nap after. When I take him out myself, he never naps after, it was nice, got a lot done after Wyatt came home from walking with Sophie and he fell asleep after. I’ve had issues with pain in my left foot after working all day, Sophie is the answer to my prayers. Wyatt adores her, and it’s nice to have a break once in a while. Wish I had found Sophie sooner. I give Sophie five stars!!

When I stay at your home, I listen to your rules! Please let me know if you have anything that needs extra care and I'll be happy to help as well. You'll come home to a happy pet and a clean home, just as you left it. :)

Information Sophie C. would like to know about your pet

- Does your pup have special dietary needs? - What does your pup's daily schedule look like? - Do you have a couch potato, a fitness junky, or a dog somewhere in between? -Is your pup kenneled when people are out of the house?

A typical day

- If your dog is a good off-leash walker, we'll be going off-leash hiking at nearby parks and ponds. - Your pup and I will also frequent dog parks or a nearby off-leash pond to spend up some extra energy! A tired pup is a happy pup. - Mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise! Depending on the length of your stay, I'll be trying to teach your dog some new tricks. This could be anything from touching my hand when asked to playing dead. If you have any suggestions, I'm happy to hear them! I only use positive, reward-based training methods. That means I'll only be giving praise and treats, no punishment!

I'm currently working from home and have a few meetings scattered throughout my day. My evenings will occasionally have sports, but I like to spend my evening relaxing and unwinding.
