Animal lover & advocate
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of animals my entire life! I’ve been working with animals professionally for 6 years, and in my time have done grooming, boarding, daycare, training, rescue, you name it! I’ve worked with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, etc of all shapes/sizes, & I’m currently working at a veterinary office. I have experience administering medications, monitoring body language & behavior, and handling emergency situations in regards to dog & cat care. I also spend free time volunteering with animal rescues when I can. Since 2018 I’ve dedicated my life to caring for others pets, and have always gone above & beyond to make sure your babes are well taken care of. Look up “Sommers Pet Services” on FB to see more reviews/photos of animals I’ve cared for in the past!
Reviews
Sommer was great with our two cats, and sent the cutest pictures of them while we we're away from them!
Sommer was the best and took such great care of Nigel and the ladies. Highly recommended for great communication and photography skills.
Sommer took great care of my kitty while we were away. She was patient while Wanda warmed up to her and sent me great updates/photos during her check-ins.
Sommer did a fantastic job and our doggies loved her. I appreciate the feedback and pictures in her visits. I will definitely try to book her on our next visit out of town.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large dog that plays well with others if play dates are desired. I always monitor fence safety for escape artists/jumpers, and use a double lead system when walking to avoid any possible break aways! I have experience with reactive/aggressive dogs as well.
Information Sommer B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your dogs daily routine while you’re home, so I can stick as closely to that as possible. I also like to know if they have any health problems, allergies, prone to sensitive skin, diarrhea, etc. Their favorite and least favorite activities, and if they are an escape artist.
A typical day
I have a special creek in Windsor Heights & a spot at Saylorville, that I love to walk dogs around. I have a few different puzzle toys that will be used for mental enrichment to keep your pups brain moving. Walks will be structured (in a heel, focus) and unstructured (sniffing & exploring) to incorporate some training in and work the mind as well. I have a friendly German Shepherd who enjoys play dates as well if your dog would like to play!
