Soph’s Support is a personalized pet and home-care business created by Sophia, a university student who has a genuine passion for supporting families and caring for animals. With years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, Sophia provides dependable, intentional care tailored to each pet and family.
I’m Sophia, a college student at the University of St. Thomas and the owner of Soph’s Support. I started Soph’s Support as a way to combine my experience caring for animals with my goal of supporting families and making lives a little easier. My goal is to give families peace of mind and the support they need to take a little off their plate. Whether that means caring for their pets, helping around the home, or simply being someone they can count on, I want Soph’s Support to make day-to-day life easier.
My experience with animals began through growing up in a pet-fostering family. Being around so many different animals gave me hands-on experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, shapes, and sizes. I’ve helped care for 9+ animals at a time, which taught me how to be patient, attentive, responsible, and adaptable to each pet’s individual needs. I truly believe pets are part of the family, and they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when their people can’t be there. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, understanding their routines, behaviors, and little quirks, and figuring out the best way to make them happy and comfortable.
I also understand needing a little support at home. Whether you need a weekly dog walk, a drop-in visit, someone to keep your pet company while you’re away, or an extra hand around the house so you can come home to a clean and welcoming space, Soph’s Support is here to help! I want to provide reliable, thoughtful, and personalized support that makes life a little easier for both you and your pets.
