Seeking a trustworthy, mature, experienced sitter near Santo Tomas in Rancho Mirage for Sophie, my healthy, active 10-year-old Wirehaired Fox Terrier. She loves walks and fetch.

Since my husband Michael passed away, Sophie has grown especially attached to me. As her sole caregiver, taking trips or attending events has been difficult. A patient, affectionate sitter is essential.

No dates yet. Care may include walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, updates, and overnight or extended stays at my home. A paid one-night trial will follow a good introductory meeting. Rates to be discussed.

Sophie must stay here except for community walks. No trips to other homes or pet visits, and no other animals here. Overnight care requires staying each night.

Please share experience, references, rates, and how you manage other pets or clients, including time here and the longest Sophie would be alone.
