Pet care experience
Full-time dog mom and realtor!! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have two dogs of my own. I worked at a doggy daycare for a period of time, which taught me that I would prefer for my dog to be watched privately. I've watched countless animals over the years I feel strongly about the treatment of animals and am an avid advocate for animals of all sorts. My job allows me to work from home, for the most part. At times I will leave for a couple hours for run errands. We go outside as soon as we wake up, eat breakfast, then go out throughout the day, as needed.
Reviews
Sophie took amazing care of our boys while we traveled for a week. She loved on them like her own, communicated awesomely and left everything on top top shape!! Love coming home to happy and content pups!!
Sophie is great. So patient with our puppies. Very responsible
Sophie watched our 2 dogs. She sent cute pictures and let me know every day that things were going well. When we returned home, the dogs were happy and healthy, the house was clean and she even watered flowers for us. Great job Sophie!
Sophie was great with Daisy while housesitting for us while we were on vacation! Great communication daily, with pictures and videos. Will definitely have her house sit with Daisy again!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very cautious of watching others animals, as I know what it's like to be on edge when out of town without your pet. You want to be able to trust your sitter so that you can relax/tend to your business. I follow instructions exactly as given to me by owner. I am also aware of any toxic foods/items.
Information Sophie S. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have a preference on any type of animal/breed/size. I love them all. Once you care for a 100 lb lap dog, you can pretty much handle it all! It’s important for me to know how your animal reacts around other animals, in the chance we pass one on a walk or if one is passing the house, etc. Also, if your dog has a history of aggression, I just need to know the best ways of approaching them to avoid any dangerous situations.
A typical day
I’m very active so I love going on walks, getting puppy lattes, playing fetch, etc. I’m down to do whatever your pup is used to doing!

Since my parents watch my dogs when I sit, I act like it’s any other normal day in my life! I’m on your four legged kiddos schedule.
