Dogs paw print all over my hearth !

Pet care experience

There was this strong, wonderful field of love headed toward dogs,cats and all other pets in me, since I was a child. But, since we could not have one, as I come from small town in Europe, Czech Republic, where we lived in apartment complex at the time, always when I walk after school around people houses, where there was a dog behind fence in the yard, I stop by and talk and play with dog as long as I could. Then later on, when I met owners, they let me take a dog for walk, and as a teen child, it was whole new world for me. Spend a lot of afternoons running in valleys and hills, with my "partially adopted furry friend" and passion for dogs stayed with me for life since then. I was taking care of dogs,cats and other small pets, such as birds, hamsters, rabbits, fish in aquariums and more, for families in Charlotte,NC area for past 16 years. We have purchased small property in the mountains, Sparta NC and made it our new home. There is vast nature area around Blue Ridge Parkway, with trails to walk dogs and our open yard is great place for dogs to play.

We are neighbors with and have known Sona for 7 years. She loves nature and animals of all kinds. Sona has taken care of all of our animals when we are out of town. At one time this included fish, guinea pigs, and dogs. She not only feeds them but with the dogs spends time playing with them in our back yard or taking them for a walk. She is very conscientious, courteous, thoughtful, trustworthy, and kind. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has pets and wants to leave them with someone who will take care of them as if they are her own.

Information Sona V. would like to know about your pet

Before I start taking care for people dogs , I want to learn everything about dogs habits,needs, health conditions, preferred kind of food and feeding times, favorite toys, places where the owners takes the dog for walk etc , so I can take care of the dog the way owner does, so the dogs feel comfy ... and then on top of it, we could develop more fun and more experiences. I do not really have preferences for dog breed. Everyone thinks ,they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong. I had two dogs in my life, and cat . My dogs were both chocolate Labradors, and my cats grey tabby cat .

A typical day

I think, the dog is best company , best therapist, and best listener. They do love to listen and learn new tricks, and if you take your time and teach them, they will love that attention. Teach a dog new tricks is my passion, and I think it helps a dog practice the concentration , intelligence development and it builds stronger relationship between dog and person, who takes care of him. Of course, I do love play with dogs ,in all sort of games. Hide and seek toys, throw a ball or stick or just tug war. But most fun for dogs, are walks out there in woods, paths, neighbor streets, so they can have exercise and especially sniff out the information's other dogs and creatures of all kinds left behind :) Walks are the best time !!!!
