Safety, trust & environment

I respect your home and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding times, walking schedules, medications, and any household rules your pet is used to. I aim to keep things as familiar as possible so your pet stays comfortable in their own space. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you're away.

Information Sophie S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs special attention in certain areas to make sure they are well cared for! Also, please let me know if there are any house rules as well as anything I should know beforehand!

A typical day

I love making sure pets stay happy, active, and mentally stimulated while in my care! I tailor activities based on each pet’s age, energy level, and personality, so they have a great time in a way that’s safe and comfortable for them. For dogs who love to move, we’ll go on walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, or enjoy some backyard playtime. For calmer or senior dogs, I focus on gentle play, slow strolls, belly rubs, and cuddle. No matter the activity, my goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, entertained, and relaxed while you’re away!

Pet care experience

I've been working with dogs since I was 12 years old, and over the years, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience.
