Ratings and reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I originally hired Sophira for dog sitting, but what Mila and I have gained from this experience has been absolutely life-changing. 🙏 Mila has worked with several trainers before — she went through initial, intermediate, and advanced puppy training and passed them all with flying colors. But after a cross-country move, she developed reactivity issues that no one seemed to be able to help with. I tried multiple positive-only trainers and even the e-collar approach, but nothing made a lasting difference. Sophira not only cared for Mila while I worked, but he also took the time to guide us through her behavior challenges. He introduced me to using a prong collar the correct way — something I was initially nervous about — and it has truly been a game changer. Mila is calmer, more confident, and I barely have to make corrections anymore. He sends updates and pictures of Mila calmly hanging out around other dogs, which I never thought would be possible for her. She even tolerates my two German Shepherds now! What started as simple dog sitting has turned into something so much more — genuine training, structure, and peace of mind. I can’t thank Sophira enough for what he’s accomplished with my stubborn Frenchie. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, understands dogs, and delivers real results, he’s the one. 🐾❤️
Very impressed and grateful for the quality of care Mila received today. Mila even received some much needed training and with a little magic from Sophira, Mila was able to progress in her reactivity training. I would recommend to anyone!
Sophira has watched my dog numerous times and has done a great job. He works on training and keeping the dogs happy. He makes a great dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is sectioned off by gates to separate dogs while feeding or by size/temperament or special needs. I have a decent sized backyard that is fenced. I also carry pet care insurance.

A typical day
My favorite activity for the dogs I watch is taking them to a empty park to let them run free. Training is also great way to stimulate my dogs in care both mentally and physically. I've plenty of high value treats, if allowed. I have toys, plenty of balls. Flirt poles and tugs.
