Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs! I have many years of both personal and professional experience caring for dogs. I worked in a veterinary clinic as dog walker, feeder, bather, kennel cleaner, medication giver, and all-around companion for boarders. I recently lost my own beloved furbaby to old age after 16 wonderful years together. I really miss canine companionship but I'm not ready yet for a new dog of my own, so I'd be thrilled to shower your dog with the affection, friendship, and loving, responsible care I gave my own. I work from home, so I would be keeping a watchful eye on your dog and providing them companionship all day long, and I'm happy to give frequent bathroom breaks and walks--and of course, ear scratches, belly rubs, and games of catch and tug-of-war! I have experience with senior and special-needs dogs, and some experience with bathing and light grooming. I have a secure, clean, smoke-free, pest-free, pet-free, and child-free home, and I would love to open my home to your dog and make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved!

Sophie (and Sean) did an amazing job watching our senior dog Whimsy! He had a great time and came back very relaxed and happy! We really appreciated all the photos and text updates about our boy ☺️

We've been leaving our pup with Sophie for years, this time for 10 days, and she continues to be a great dog-sitter!

Sophie and Sean are incredible! They hosted our Regina George for six nights - the longest we've been away from her. Throughout the stay they provided regular updates, adorable photos, and were very proactive in updating us with how she was coping with her anxiety. They were patient with her and flexible in trying new things and administering her medication. We not only appreciated the regular news, but the fun energy that came along with each one! Regina was super calm when we picked her up, which is a very clear sign that she trusts and enjoyed her time with Sophie and Sean. Thanks to them both - we'll be booking with them again soon!

Information Sophie H. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know about their usual feeding and walking schedule; general information about their temperament, energy level, and the type of interaction they (and you) prefer; any specific rules for care (i.e., if they're not allowed on the bed); medical conditions/medications or other extra care-related considerations (grooming regimen, etc.); and any special needs or other information that would inform their care and their stay in my home. I don't have breed preferences, although an extremely large dog (Great Dane or the like) may find my apartment a little small!

A typical day

I live near the beach and several parks, so a walk to the beach to throw the ball around or just hang out is always an option. I can take them on long walks, play with their favorite toys, or just chill out and cuddle! I can provide your dog with as much or as little activity as they want and need and am very flexible and adaptive when it comes to the kind of care your dog receives and the activities we engage in.
