Pet care experience
I've taken care of animals since I was 7. Families and friends would recommend me in trusting to care for their 4-legged loved ones. I have been around animals of all ages and all breeds for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas to as big as Great Danes and bigger. I have a love for dogs and all animals big or small that I can't explain. I have 4 of my own dogs that I look at as my own family members. Meaning, they get to sleep on our bed and get up on the couch. I have a lot of experience with puppies and with older dogs. I have worked at Vet clinics working with the older dogs who don't get a lot of attention. I also have helped train my family members puppies. I have experience in giving medication such as immunizations, medications, de-worming and much more due to working on my families farm when I was younger. I currently work part-time Monday through Friday. My husband who is in the United States Air Force is home in the day time until 2:30 pm until I get home and I am home until I go to work the next day at 7 am. So someone is home all the time. I am pretty flexible when it comes with times and dates. I am more than willing to work with someones schedule and I will always help someone out to accommodate their needs. I am available to come to peoples houses to let puppies out and to interact/play. I have an acre lot here in town that I have my own very friendly dogs in that would in turn keep your loved ones safe. I take my dogs on daily walks and we always make sure that we take time to have "play time" with toys. We have a nearby park that we take our leashed dogs to that we go hiking with our 7 month old. My dogs consist of a 2 year old Black Lab named Ruger, who is a big lover he loves any type of dog as long as they play tug of war with him. We have Karma, who is our rescue German Shepherd who is 10 years old and just sleeps all the time who is also very friendly. And last but not least we have Tucker who is our 1 year old Karin Terrier who is a very hyper little who loves treats and loves to play with anyone who will give him the time of day.
Reviews
Sophie has a way with animals, especially dogs. She’s gentle and very patient with any animal I have seen her with. She would be a great person to love your animals while you’re away.

Information Sophie P. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what the dog likes and what they dislikes. Especially if there are things that they don't like, such as certain areas on their bodies they don't like touched. If they aren't good with other dogs if they are coming to the house. I don't have any breed preferences but I do prefer if they are coming to the house that they have been around small children as we have a 7 month old, other than that I am an open book when it comes to play dates and walking!
A typical day
I usually like to go to the Riverside State Park if the weather permits since we live just a few blocks from there. If the weather is being temperamental I will stick close to the house and go on a walk/run depending on what we are feeling on that day. I love playing fetch with the pup and if they like tug of war and any other games. Lots of tummy rubs and loves will be involved.
