Hi, I'm Sophie — a solo pet care professional in Dublin, Ohio. Every dog in my care gets individual attention, genuine affection, and a real adventure. No pack walks, no strangers.
No hidden fees. No surge pricing. Just honest care at a fair rate — paid after each visit, not upfront.
One-on-one walks tailored to your dog's pace and personality. Great for dogs who need focused attention or are reactive on leash.
Small-group walks with 2–3 compatible dogs. Perfect for social pups who love making friends on the trail.
A 20-minute check-in at your home — feeding, fresh water, a little playtime, and a photo update sent your way.
I stay in your home overnight so your pet sleeps in their own space, in their own routine — no boarding stress.
I started Paws & Paths because I believe every dog deserves more than a rushed potty break. Growing up with animals, I learned early that pets aren't just responsibilities — they're family. When you hand me your leash, I take that seriously.
I'm a sole proprietor, which means when you book with me, I show up — every time. No rotating staff, no surprises. I keep my schedule intentionally small so I can give every dog the kind of attention I'd want for my own.
I'm Pet First Aid & CPR certified, insured through Pet Sitters International, and I'll always send you photos mid-walk. Because honestly, that's the best part of everyone's day.
Five-star reviews from real neighbors in the Dublin area.
"Sophie is hands-down the best thing to happen to our golden, Biscuit. He goes absolutely nuts when he hears her car in the driveway. She always sends the sweetest mid-walk updates, and we never worry when we travel. Truly irreplaceable."
"We have two anxious rescue pups and finding someone patient enough to work with them felt impossible — until Sophie. She took the time to earn their trust before the first real walk. Four months in and they wait by the door for her every morning."
"Sophie stayed in our home for a long weekend while we were in Chicago. Our cat Marigold is famously suspicious of everyone — she was curled up on Sophie's lap by day two. I got a photo as proof and I genuinely teared up. She's wonderful."
Fill out the form and I'll get back to you within 24 hours to set up a free meet & greet. You can also reach me directly — I'm a real person and I actually read my messages.
Thanks for reaching out. I typically reply within a few hours. Can't wait to meet your pet!
