Let me know if your dog has any special needs I should account for :) I have a small dog of my own, so please let me know how this impacts boarding + behaviors!

I prioritize activating activities for your pup! I create games to play for treats, toys, and fulfill each pet’s needs accordingly. When in the home, I play relaxing sounds for pets to help stimulate their brain too.

Pet care experience

Hey there! Growing up with 7+ dogs of all shapes and sizes, caring for them has always come naturally. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, especially French Bulldogs, American Bulldogs, Labs, Poodles, and Pugs. Clear communication is one of my top priorities, and I'll always keep you informed with photos, updates, and quick responses. I love staying active through walks, and l believe in letting your furry friend set the pace : )  My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home! I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend!

Sophie is wonderful. When it comes to taking care of Jacque she is very thoughtful and intentional about her care. Bonus is Jacque was quick to warm up to her.

Sophie is a gentle and kind soul and experienced caretaker, having helped me care for a variety of dogs large and small, young and old, healthy and sick. I know my pups are in good hands, have been treated with the utmost care, and may even have enjoyed some of Sophie's hand crafted puppy enrichment games. I highly recommend Sophie:)

Sophie has taken care of my animals whenever I needed a getaway and a truly couldn’t recommend anyone better. She goes above and beyond to make sure I feel at ease when I’m away and makes my dog happy too! She’s super communicative when it comes to home check-ins and walks. My dog has a needed medication daily and Sophie was prompt and precise when it came to giving meds at a specific time. If you need a pet sitter, dog walker, or boarder Sophie is definitely your girl!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
