Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure that pets I care for are in safe situations. Whether that means, cleaning up a mess to make sure your new pup doesn't get into it or giving medication to your older dog to make them comfortable, I always strive to make sure I know what your dog needs and will do what it takes to make them feel safe.

A typical day

I love to go on walks in the woods, the bike trail, and my road. I'm happy to play fetch with your dogs or whatever other games you puppy likes such as kibble challenges to strengthen the mind!

Happy to walk your furry friend

Pet care experience

I have always had a deep love for dogs and have had them as part of my life for as long as I can remember. I previously raised Waffle, a Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppy, for over a year. During that time, I trained her in basic obedience, house manners, and socialization, which was a rewarding and enriching experience. Waffle has since gone on to become a Narcotics K9 for the Connecticut State Police and I am proud to have played a role in her journey. In addition to raising Waffle, I’ve always been actively involved in caring for dogs —whether it's walking, feeding, bathing, or just ensuring their well-being. I also worked for an urgent-care veterinarian for 3 years giving me basic medical training experience and a network of doctors and nurses I can reach out to for any medical emergencies I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from puppies as young as 9 weeks to older dogs up to 18 years old. I am available to walk or take out your dog during weekdays. While I cannot offer overnight care due to having my own dog to care for, I would be happy to provide daytime walks and companionship for your furry friend.

Sophie is excellent and I’m so happy we found her. She’s so kind, compassionate and professional with our dog who has some special needs. Could not ask for a nicer person to help with our dog.

Sophie is so great with my puppy Teddy! He has some anxiety and can take a while to warm up to people, but he loved Sophie right away. She is great with dogs. Teddy was sick this week and Sophie cleaned up after him and made sure he was comfortable. I would highly recommend!

Sophie has been wonderful with my pup Sadie. She’s always very attentive, accommodating, and provides detail in the river card. Recommend booking her.
