Animal-loving Tufts PreVet Student!

Pet care experience

I absolutely love animals, but since I live on campus, I'm not able to have any of my own this year. I would love to get some time walking and playing with your dogs! I have a 3-year old Husky mix, Juno, and a 3-year old cat, Burger King, at home. When I was in high school, I walked dogs in my neighborhood, volunteered for the SPCA, and was involved in equestrian activities. One of my jobs was teaching horseback riding lessons, so I have experience working with animals and children, giving me confidence in my animal interactions. I also have experience training dogs, as I trained my dog to walk on and off leash, to listen to basic commands, and to do lots of fun tricks! Friends often say my dog is the best behaved dog that they know.

Sofia did a great job with drop-in visits for my large cat who gets very grouchy due to separation anxiety. I appreciated her photography skills and her patience with my little monster. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with crating dogs, safely walking dogs, and I am very responsible, hard-working, and respectful! I am also able to feed your pets if necessary. When I am in your home and working with your pets, I will, of course, follow any instructions that you leave for me.

Information Sofia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if there's any kind of special care that your dog needs. Also, if there is anything I should know about their comfort level with other dogs/pets and humans, if they can have treats, or any quirks they may have, let me know! I'm more than happy to accommodate them.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for long walks, hikes, and runs! I also love playing games and teaching them fun tricks. I'm also happy to just hang out with your dog if they need company during the workday. I like to take different routes every time I walk, so your dog and I will have plenty of fun things to explore. If you're comfortable with your dog being off-leash, we can also go to a park to play fetch and run around! I love finding new ways to keep dogs mentally engaged on walks.
