Availability
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.

Safety, trust & environment
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!
Information Sophie N. would like to know about your pet
It’s really helpful to know your dog’s daily routine, energy level, and any specific needs—like medical conditions, triggers (like other dogs or loud noises), and how they are on leash. I’d also love to know their favorite toys, treats, and what helps them feel safe or calm when you’re away. The more I know, the better I can care for them just like you would!
A typical day
A typical day starts with a walk or some outdoor time to get their energy out and keep them happy. I stick to their usual routine—meals, potty breaks, and any medications if needed—while adding in fun, like playtime with toys, fetch, or tug-of-war. I also love giving them mental stimulation with training games or puzzle toys. Throughout the day, I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and exercise, whether it’s a cozy cuddle session or an energetic walk. Every dog is different, so I always try to match their personality and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Caring, Reliable & Active Dog Lover
Pet care experience
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.

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.
