About Sofia

Services provided

I can offer all the basics services, in which trainings are not included.

I am now available on Fridays for dog's walks and during weekends for pet owners on holidays. I give only occasional services. I generally prefer to give services in my house, but I am open to discuss. 


About me

I am Sofia, a sportive, energetic, empathetic and passionate girl. 

I have had always been surrounded by untraditional pets and animals: naked cats, who require special care, a furret, who was much smarter than I expected, horses, with who you create a special bond, and also a small-size dog. 

I enjoy being immersed in nature while being in movement. Being with a dog outside represents for me a great opportunity to play, enjoy and recharge.

I am biology scientist and I am really interested in life mechanisms and secrets, from an ultra-structural point of view to a behavoural one. In nature collaboration, absence of waste and cycles always prevail. As a side note, I worked in Prolife, a company that provides high-quality food for pets, thanks to which I increased my knoledge about the topic.

My experience as a petsitter

I have been brought up as an only child surrounded by animals. Thanks to this, I developed my understanding of their behaviour. As already mentioned, I have been around different types of animals: cats, dogs, furret, horses, rabbit and mice. 

I also have some theoretical biology-medicine knowledge, which can help to face several situations. In addition, unfortunately, my pets underwent some illnesses and disease, due to which I expanded my practical knowledge. 

I have now gained some experience as a petsitter thanks to Pawshake. I am not an expert of big dogs or dogs which requires specific training or care outdoor. I am open to learn and willing to meet the pet owner's requests and peculiarity.

2nd great experience where we came home to cats acting normal and unstressed, which we needed after a long day of travel back from France. Has made traveling to see family change from a hassle of trying to wrangle every cat into their carry cases so we can put them into a kennel to a smooth experience of just "coming home."

Came home to find our three cats had been taken care of, and saw (we arrived home coincidentally while Sofia was doing her last arranged visit) that our cats had warmed up to her and playing/letting her pet them.

Allowed my family to visit my grandparents in Germany without any issues/worries, and kept the cats much less stressed than arranging a stay in a shelter, which we greatly appreciate, and she clearly cared for the pets. Would gladly work with her again if our schedules align with any future trips
