Loving Care for your Companion!

Hi, I'm Sophie! 🐾 As a lifelong dog owner, I have a deep understanding of dog behavior and a natural ability to connect with animals. I am great with high-energy dogs who need structured play or sensitive, anxious dogs who need a calm presence and lots of love! I know exactly how to read their cues, keep them safe, and comfortable during our time together. Because I am a remote university student, I work from home all day and my schedule is completely flexible. Your dog will have supervision, quality care, and won’t be left unattended for long periods of time. My cozy apartment and its proximity to Fort Tryon Park will give your dog space to relax, play, and take walks in nature while honoring their usual daily routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your perfect companion with someone new and trust in their care. I promise to give your dog the absolute best care and fun adventures, while giving you peace of mind while you’re out of town!

Schedule

As a remote university student and actor, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Your pet will have constant supervision, companionship, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I am available for walks at any time of day, drop-in visits, and full-time boarding or daycare. Your pet will rarely be left alone and I will cater my schedule to what they need!

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and comfort of your companion is my top priority. In my home, your dog will enjoy a calm, pet-friendly apartment that was occupied by my dog, Tootsie. When house sitting or visiting your home, I respect your space entirely while keeping your pet’s exact routine on track. I provide frequent text and photo updates so you always have peace of mind knowing they are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning bathroom break followed by breakfast and some play-time. Then, we might adventure to Fort Tryon Park to get plenty of fresh air and exercise. The rest of the day is balanced with their meal schedule, potty breaks every few hours, fun play sessions, and lots of cozy nap time right next to my desk while I work on my studies.

Please let me know about your pet’s typical routine, feeding schedule, and any specific behavioral patterns or medical needs ahead of time. It is incredibly helpful to know how they handle meeting other dogs, their comfort level with being left alone for short periods, and any triggers they might have on walks (like loud city noises or squirrels). My priority is keeping them feeling safe, calm, and completely at home!
