I'm a trained veterinary technician

Pet care experience

I have been house and pet sitting since I was about 7-years-old when I started a business around the neighborhood, now I have turned that love for animals into a career! I have worked at a vet clinic, boarding facility, volunteer at the Iowa Humane Alliance, multiple animal shelters, and have pets of my own. Now I am back in school to become a certified Veterinary Technician! Suffice to say, I know the ins and outs of animal care, and love to personalize that care to each animal I meet. I'm experienced in positive reinforcement training, small animal nutrition, and medical care. No need to worry if your dog is on 10 medications, he is in safe hands with me. I'm trained in animal behavior, so if you have a difficult pet, no problem! I'm sure we will be great friends soon!

Sophie was great! Chloe seemed happy and content when we got back. We look forward to having her walk Chloe again soon.

Sophie was an amazing house sitter and pet sitter. We had not used rover.com before and we’re in a pinch due to an out of town funeral. After reading Sophie’s reviews we decided to give her a try. She responded promptly and we couldn’t have been happier. Our dog is reactive and Sophie completely understood her needs. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Sophie. We will definitely use her as a sitter again.

Sophie took great care of my pet while I was out of town. She sent me pictures and updates about how things were going. Allie had a great time with her!

Sophie was wonderful. Very communicative with us while we traveled, and took great care of our fur babies!

Information Sophie M. would like to know about your pet

I love all animals of any shapes and size! I have a special place in my heart for pitties and kitties (I've spent a lot of time with them working in shelters), but have no biases. I will cater to the unique comfort level of your furry friend, so just let me know if she/he has any special behaviors or even loves a certain toy the best!

A typical day

I was born and raised in Iowa City, so I know the best places for a good walk! The dog park is a second home to me. Or if your doggo is more a snuggler, not to worry! I have plenty of love to spare:)
