Pet care experience
Hello! I am a UW graduate student taking classes from home who can provide 1:1 around the clock care to your pup! I have experience with all sizes of dogs for 10+ years. I grew up with two dogs [Goldendoodle and Maltese] and have owned a cat for 3 years! I have experience volunteering at my local animal shelter as a dog walker. Pets have always felt comfortable with me and I am someone who can be a gentle and loving companion to them. I am very active and I would love to take your dog on a hike / long walks are okay.
Reviews
Sophie was such a great host for my Golden! She sent me updates every day - Going on walks, hikes, and cuddles. 6 out of 5 stars!
Sophie was very kind and communicative. She made sure Ollie had plenty of exercise and sent lots of cute pictures so I knew he was being well taken care of. I would definitely have her watch Ollie again!
Sophie is a fantastic host! She kept our golden active with multiple walks/hikes and kept us up-to-date with pics throughout the stay. Our dog loved her time with Sophie!
Our dog Rocky had a wonderful stay with Sophie! he got plenty of cuddle time, walks, and playtime. When we picked him up he was calm and happy and didn’t want to leave. It gave us peace of mind to know that he was so well cared for. She also sent us lots of pictures throughout his stay. We highly recommend Sophie and would definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you Sophie for giving Rocky such great care!

If boarding with me your pet will rarely be alone! Doggy DayCare Operating Hours [8am - 8pm] = I charge an extra $10 for drop off and pick ups outside this hour. - Provide 2 walks minimum - Play time, fetch, toys - Lots of potty breaks - Cuddles and couch time I operate from two different locations, one is my partners townhouse near Green Lake and the other is my apartment near Ravenna. I rotate between these two places during the week and weekends. I am always the main caretaker in both locations although sometimes my partner likes to hold the leash when we go on walks together. I try to take pets with me wherever I go and I am usually home studying, doing homework or taking classes online. I can provide walks around the Greenlake loop trail, Ravenna park, Burke Gilman Trail, Uvillage, Gasworks etc. I own a cat but he enjoys sleeping in my closet during the day and will not interact with your dog. He has previously been around little dogs such as my Maltese and did not mind her, they both would hangout on my bed together. He is a bit nervous around larger dogs and likes to keep his distance. I am a trustworthy student who will take care of your animals and send updates and photos at your request!
