Safety, trust & environment

I do all the grooming for my dogs including necessary hair trims, nails clippings, teeth brushing, bathing, brushing, and deshedding. For mealtime, I like to provide them with mental enrichment through slow feeding bowls, puzzle toys, sniffle mats, and using lick mats for treats like PB or wet food. For exercise, they require a lot of exercise that walking could never satisfy; so I like to take them to the different DuPage dog parks which are sectioned-off areas of forest preserves ranging from 3 to 60 acres. However, I occasionally take them on walks to expose them to new environments. I would be to happy to discuss and extend any of this care to your pets!

Information Sophie S. would like to know about your pet

To know how to best accommodate them, please make me aware of any behavioral quirks or strong boundaries they may have (excessive pulling, reactivity, incontinence, rough players, etc). I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets that have specific concerns. Preparedness helps ensure the safety of everyone!

A typical day

I can always stick to any specific requested routine! Independently, I find great value in mental and physical stimulation for dogs. Whether that be walking new routes and allowing the dogs to engage with the environment, a tiring game of fetch, feeder puzzles, interactive toys, and more!

Pet care experience

I have 3 dogs that I raised since they were puppies. They’re all within a 3 year age span and get along great! I take care of their feeding, grooming, and exercise. I’ve also raised two neonatal kittens, which included things like bottle feeding and administering medication. I’m very educated in pet safety, it’s my #1 priority. This includes proper car safety, sanitation, and knowledge on safe foods, chews, and toys.

Sophie took such great care of my kitties! It's great to know that when I'm gone they are in kind and capable hands.

Sophie was so kind to take my last moment request. I knew that she was going to take good care of the kitties, because she asked great questions beforehand!
