Happy Caretaker for Happy Paws!

Hi! My name is Sophie! I graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA in May 2022, and animals have been a massive part of my entire life. Our animals are not just our companions, but members of our family. I want to make sure your baby feels as at home with me as they would with you!! I have experience with senior dogs, as I had my dog Fred from when he was 5 to 19! Handling several dogs at once is not a problem, and I have no problem holding control and making sure that your dogs will stay safe and happy. My experience with anxious nerves in animals is abundant, and I don't mind sitting and waiting for your pup or kitty to take some time to sniff! I take pride in my soft heart in caring for abused and adopted dogs. My previous animals have experienced neglect, and I am very aware of how to approach and take care of nervous and timid animals. I am always very gentle and careful with every dog I meet; every animal is special in their own perfect way! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry little baby!

Sophie was great! I could not have asked for more! She sent pictures and played with my dog while I was away. She fed him and topped off his water. I highly recommend Sophie!

Sophie always takes the best care of my 3 kitties. She does a fantastic job of keeping me updated with pictures and adorable summaries of how they’re doing. So thankful to have her!

Sophie cared for my cats for a week and they LOVE her. She is a great communicator and takes lots of cute pics. She is conscientious and trustworthy. I worry a lot when I leave my cats but I didn’t have to worry at all with Sophie. She loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend!

Currently, I am working in healthcare and will have more than enough time during my off days, before work, and on weekends to come see your animals. Just shoot me a message or make a booking and we can figure out a perfect time; I'm extremely flexible and understanding!

I would like to know: Is your animal friendly with other dogs/cats? What is your animal's personality like? What is your dog’s walking style? **We can always set up a meet-and-greet and discuss these topics in person if preferred (I love to do meet-ups!) All of these details are crucial to making sure I give them the best specified care possible, and keep them happy as can be!
