What do you do?
Hi, I'm Sophie and to make the world a happier place I will sum myself up with one title:
"Pet Lifestyle Expert"...however, let me break it down for you as I do not do/offer just one thing as my profession.
Here are some of the questions I get asked when I must give some sort of title for the gifts I share as my trade. Although I am not keen on titles, society seems to demand it! So to help educate I will briefly share my answers and explanations right here of what it is that I do.
Q: What is a Pet Concierge?A: A Pet Concierge is a combination of unique personalized and professional petcare services that include but are not limited to:
- Errand Runner
- Pet SUV Shuttle
- Doggy Daycare Provider
- Dogwalker, Dog Coach that teaches humans how to implement positive play training/socialization with their pets and more!
- Pet & Home Minding - That's fancy for petsitting/housesitting where I make visits to you and your pets home or barn just as if they were my pets. Your pets do not have to change their routine at all! There are NO cages/kennels NO choke chains/pronged collars/whips involved in my line of work! Your pet will not be lonely or depressed nor go hungry nor be bored when in my care, simple as that. Think of me as your pets guardian angel when you are not around. The whole idea is to keep your pets safe, healthy and stressfree when you are away with someone taking the role of pet parent who truly cares and provides you with peace of mind and your beloved pets with top notch daily extended private one on one attention! These services are very limited so book your consultation early so to see if I am available in your area.

Q: What is an Animal Communicator - Spirit Messenger?
A: I facilitate communication and understanding between humans, animals and the spirit world! Why yes, I am an animal & spirit translator! Animal communication is also sometimes referred to as pet psychic but not by all animal communicators I am finding out although this does confuse me as honestly if you are able to communicate via telepathic means of communication with animals then hello you are intuitive aka pet psychic and must embrace this wonderful gift! I however am very much in touch with the spirit world and have no issues in telling you this, so you can refer to me in any of these categories that mean the same thing to me such as:
- Animal communicator
- Pet psychic
- Psychic medium
- Spirit Messenger
- Spiritual consultant
- Intuitive consultant
- Spiritual coach
- Intuitive coach
- Dog Whisperer - Horse Whisperer - Ghost Whisperer
- Lightworker
- Energyworker
Q: Do you work with LOST MISSING PETS?
A: Yes, on a case by case basis. Visit my Pet Detective page for more information.
Q: What does a Pet Photographer do?
A: Pet photography is self explanatory but I do more then that...as a digital freelance pet photographer I am still communicating with the animals in the photography session and everything is done in natural settings and not forced upon. I respect each animals wishes of on site location and how they are feeling and how they desire to be perceived through the camera lens. My photos are not staged but simply more of a documentary of their emotions captured on photos. I also include the entire family of pets and humans if desired so it truly is a family portrait I capture in photo CD and videography DVD. I offer visits to your house or horse barn or my retail studio location. I prefer to use natural settings with natural daylight more so then indoor lighting so no night appointments will be conducted outdoors. I perfer my appointments be between early morning and early afternoon and no rainy gloomy days please!
Q: What is a Dog Coach ?
A: Dog coaching is intriguing to people as this term is not highly used just yet but I prefer to use that rather then dog handler or trainer simply because I do not handle anything that does not want handled nor do I force train anything that does not want trained against it's free will. I show respect to each animal as each is it's own individual being and must be respected as such. I communicate every step of the way with the animals (as long as they want to communicate of course) and use only positive play training with rewards of treats and affection for achieving the results desired. It is amazing how love and communicating the way the animals communicate works wonders. Remember that communicating does not always mean using words. I use body language and telepathy all the time in my field of work with animals as this is how animals communicate all the time amongst themselves and to us, with the occasional bark or neigh or meow sounds of course but if you do not understand their vocal language then perhaps you should contact me to help translate between you and your pets! I am you and your canines personal dog coach;to transform you both into a winning team in the same household! I also help coach the human on many different things that have to do with living or traveling with dogs. I.E. Pet travel/PCS relocation with pets, Vacationing with pets, Setting up your home for you and your pets to live comfortably together, Preparing the home for a new pets arrival, Choosing the best pet for your lifestyle, etc.
Q: Do you work exclusively with dogs?
A: No. Although I specialize working with BIG dogs with my lifestyle dog coaching. I work with all shape and sizes of dogs! I communicate with all beings - living and passed on; humans, domesticated pets and/or farm animals such as: horses and/or wildlife, habitat or zoo animals/species/insects/reptiles/ocean creatures, etc. I am available to make barn visits and to visit animal sanctuaries as well.

Q: I would like to ask you join our paranormal team as a guest psychic-medium. Would you be interested?
