Meet Your Walkers
Sofia
Sofia works with dogs of all behaviors and sizes. From teacup terriers to Rhodesian Ridgebacks, she’s no stranger to friendly, anxious, or even aggressive canines. Having graduated with a Psychology degree, Sofia became fascinated with how humans can greatly benefit from canine companionship. Over time, she began studying dog psychology to better understand how dogs think and how to affectively communicate with them. “I’ve been obsessed with dogs all my life and it’s the greatest gift to work with them every day! It’s an important job that’s motivated me to better understand how they communicate, operate, and learn. They fulfill us in so many ways, so I believe it’s our duty to help them feel confident and loved”.
Sam
Sam handles our pack walks and high energy clients, in addition to other services. With years of experience caring for cats and special needs dogs, he’s learned the importance of understanding and rehabbing companion animals. With an affinity for cats, special needs, and high energy pups, Sam has the knowledge, patience, and energy that pet owners need when searching for a reliable caretaker. “Working with animals, and being able to make a difference in so many of their lives means the world to me. Forming these special bonds with each dog and their owners is a reward in itself. I consider myself pretty lucky to spend so much time with these lil’ guys!”
