My schedule is flexible! I see some clients virtually on Mondays, Fridays, and certain Saturdays, which I can do from your home while pet sitting. My classes are on Monday and Tuesday mornings, and I see in-person clients between 4–7pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I have some weekly meetings that vary in times as well, but usually fall in-between 1 and 3pm. That leaves me with plenty of free time in the mornings, afternoons before 4pm, and evenings after 7pm. I’m also more available on weekends (aside from church on Sundays). This allows me to give your pets consistent care and attention throughout the day and night when needed!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care in your home so your dog feels comfortable in their own space and routine. I’m attentive and caring, making sure pets get regular walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of love. I also offer overnight stays, giving your pets companionship and consistency throughout the day and night. I keep things clean, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your home and pets are safe while you’re away. My goal is to give your dog the security and affection they need until you return.

Information Sophie H. would like to know about your pet

It really helps me give the best care when owners share their pet’s routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys or activities, and any special needs like medications or quirks. I also like to know what comforts them, what rules you have at home, and if there are any triggers (like loud noises or other dogs). The more I know, the more I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active! With me, your furry friend can enjoy fun playtime (fetch, tug-of-war, or chasing toys), runs or walks for exercise, and plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m also big on giving them long ear scratches or back rubs if that’s what they love. Whether your pet has lots of energy or just wants snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and comfortable.

Loving Grad Student Dog Sitter! 💕

Pet care experience

I have 10+ years of personal experience caring for my own dog, have gained experience dog sitting for friends, family, and members of my church community this past year. As a graduate student at the University of Alabama training to become a therapist, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for connection into the way I care for pets. I bond quickly with dogs, give them lots of attention, and love cuddles, walks, and playtime. I also have experience training dogs—including teaching my own pup fun tricks—so I know how to provide structure as well as affection. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m available for extended stays and overnight pet sitting.

Sophie was great. She came over ahead of time to meet my dogs and get the rundown. She communicated well and sent update photos. She left my house very tidy, even washed and changed my bed sheets. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much!

Sophie took such great care of our dog and our home while we were gone. I can tell our dog was relaxed and enjoyed having her around. She checked in with us daily and was very neat. I highly recommend.

My dog seems unstressed upon my return and my house is in great shape too. Lots of good care was taken! I would recommend and endorse Sophie to friends.
