Sofi’s Petsitting

Welcome to Sofi's Petsitting, serving Merced CA and nearby cities! With over 12 yrs of professional experience in the buisness I am more than happy to watch your dog in my home for $30 a night.

You can now find me on Sitting for a Cause, an online petsitting platform where owners pay no service fees and part of what you pay goes to help rescued animals! https://www.sittingforacause.com/sofia-prado

Hours of Operation -Dog Boarding: Drop off: 7am-9am, Pick up: 5pm-9pm If you need to pick up or drop off earlier or later please note that in a message. -Day Care: Drop off: 7am-9am, Pick up: 5pm-7pm. Clients -I welcome dogs over 1 year old, all sizes, houseborken pups, neutered males and unspayed females (not in heat). Training -I believe in positive reinforcement. I do not believe the dominance theory in training and the tools that can be used with that (prong collar, shock collar, choke collar) and will not walk a dog wearing these. I will remove shock collars in my home. So please send your pup with an alternate collar or harness if needed. My Home -I believe that dogs are family members, so everyone spends the day and night indoors. -When I am home we all go out into the large fully fenced yard. -All dogs are allowed on bed, couch, etc. -Dogs are not left unsupervised in yard. Safety -All dogs are walked with fitted collars to prevent escaping (preferably harnesses if I have extras) I like using Easy Walk Harnesses or Martingale Collars -All Rover dogs will get an extra tag on their collar upon arriving with my numbers, for emergency situations. -Any emergencies will be reported to owner and Rover and will be taken to nearest vet or preferred vet if necessary. -Dogs are left separate from my dogs and boarders from other homes while I am out of the home. -All dogs have a separate and safe space for meals. -Toys and treats are given under supervision. -I allow my dogs and rover dogs to socialize and play only under direct supervision. My Pets -I have three rescues at home. -All three are fixed, up to date on shots, and take bravecto (for fleas and tics) every 3 months. -Billy is a male terrier mix, 30 lbs. Billy is very calm, intelligent, social dog. -Kora is a female beagle mix, 35 lbs. Kora is very friendly, social and special needs. She has glaucoma, for which she gets daily eye drops and cannot see out of one eye. -Chiquitina is a female cattle dog mix, 45 lbs. Chiqui is intelligent, active, fun. -All of my dogs are use to having at least 4 rover guests in the house and are very use to the interactions and comings and goings. -All are very adept with body language and clear signaling with other dogs. -All are considered senior dogs. Your pup -Care instructions will be followed without any deviations. You know what is best for your dog and I will honor that. -Your pup will get daily exercise in the yard and on a afternoon walk. -I will do everything I can to make your pup feel at home. -You will receive daily updates and photos.
