Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, Reliable & Active Dog Lover
Animals have been a central part of my life since day one—I’ve raised and cared for 9 horses (including my own, Hugo Boss), 4 high-energy dogs (2 German Shepherds and 2 Dutch Shepherds), and 2 cats. I’ve raised all my dogs from puppies and have hands-on experience with training, including teaching my dog Skip agility and dock jumping. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with high-energy and working breeds. I’m extremely in tune with their needs, body language, and alerts—whether it’s time for play, exercise, or just some extra love. I provide not just care, but a calm, confident presence that helps pets feel safe and understood.

I will easily adapt to the environment I am in for the dogs best needs. Whether that is a fenced in yard, taking them to the local dog park, or even on walks. I am there to provide the best care for your pets!
Ratings and reviews
Sophie did a great job dropping in to take care of our cat while we were on vacation. We didn't have any issues and our cat was well taken care of!
Sophie helped us out on short notice and took great care of our dog! She was quick to communicate and we would book her again to take care of pup!
Sophie was so kind to our pets and took excellent care of them. She was communicative about our pets and cared for our home well. We will hands down be using Sophie again.
Sophie is attentive and quite competent. We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for our pups. We would definitely hire her again.
We’re so grateful to Sophie for helping out with George on our big wedding day! She was communicative, kind, and incredibly helpful. She took George on a nice 30-minute walk, made sure he was fed, and spent time hanging out with him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. Her support made our day that much more relaxing. Thank you, Sophie!
Sophie was great with my dog Oscar at his meet and greet. She had a positive energy and was thorough in asking questions. I’m looking forward to Sophie caring for my pup!

Schedule
I currently work as a Neuro-Ophthalmology Technician and Research Assistant at Michigan State University. My typical schedule is Mondays and Fridays from 9:00 AM–4:00 PM and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 AM–6:30 PM. I also occasionally pick up serving shifts at Ellison Brewery on weekends, but my schedule is generally very flexible, and I often have an additional weekday off. I’m an early riser and am more than happy to accommodate early morning walks, feedings, drop-ins, or playtime before work. I make it a priority to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine. On my days off, you’ll usually find me outdoors, and I love spending that time playing with and caring for animals.
