Animal Mom and Sitter!
Pet care experience
*Please read through and understand my policies before booking - your pets well-being is what is most important to me! I have taken care of various pets since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and bearded dragons! I have always been the family/friend go-to for help with animals whether it is walking dogs, house-sitting, ect. I am a huge animal advocate and a Humane Policy Leader Volunteer with the ASPCA. Throughout high school and college, I looked for opportunities to help animals at an individual level (doing some rescue work, rehab work, fundraising, ect.), and it has greatly improved my knowledge about providing care for animals of various needs. I take the health and safety of animals very seriously, and will treat yours as my own. If you book a 24 hour+ period with me as your pet’s only caregiver, I require a minimum of 3 visits daily and will not allow your dog to be alone for more than 12 hours. With cats and other small animals there is flexibility with the amount of drop-ins. I also typically only do last minute bookings for clients I’ve worked with previously because they know my standards and I know their pet’s needs - this helps ensure that the client is comfortable with my care, the pet is comfortable with my care, and I am comfortable providing my services.
Reviews
Absolutely! Here's a short review for your pet sitter: Sophie is an exceptional, expert, and professional pet sitter! Communication is top-notch (A+), and the interaction between her and my dog is unique. My pet, a fetch enthusiast, always gets the extra playtime and attention he craves. I highly recommend it!
Sophie is so understanding of the military lifestyle and took care of Rupert with the upmost attention while I was away… I’m convinced Rupert was disappointed to see me walk in the door instead of Sophie because she is that great with him… incredible Rover employee… is there nominations for employee of the month through Rover ???
Sophie treated Rupert to excellent Rover quality service. Rupert was even so excited everyday to ensure he showed his prized possession to her everyday. The service was super understanding of military timing and requirements … hands down use Sophie time and time again.

I have special experience with diabetic animals, deaf animals, and animals with health/behavior needs. So that I am able to best take care of your pet, please let me know if there is anything I should know about your pet so that I can be prepared to give them the proper care. I would also ask that a meet and greet is set up prior to future visits so that we can ensure your pets comfortability with me while you are away! I will ensure during visits to send pictures of your pet to you and provide a summary of the visit to put your mind at ease, and of course text me on Rover at any point with any concerns or needs. As a fellow animal parent, I understand we experience some separation anxiety from our pets!
Information Sophie L. would like to know about your pet
Behavior and health issues. I have owned dogs with behavioral issues so it is certainly not a deterring factor for me. However, to keep your dog safe and COMFORTABLE, I need to know ahead of time so I can be prepared for them. Same goes for animals with health issues, I can do medication administration and make sure your pets health needs are taken care of but I need notice ahead of time.
A typical day
I love taking my own dogs on walks in the morning but during the day it can be really hot! So for some mental enrichment, I like to play games with the dogs such as tug, scent games, and more! I find every animal has their own sense of fun so I like to discuss with the owner what the pet likes so that I can engage with them in that way. My dogs love lick mats, outdoor play, and tug. My rabbits love their free roam time and finding papaya in their forage mats! Every animal is different so I want to ensure with the owner that I provide the best enrichment possible!
