Friendly and patient dog lover.
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs my entire life. I have 2 of my own, my friends all have dogs of various size and breed, and my in-laws have a gorgeous Rhodesian. My older dog, Kobain, is almost 8 years old and currently lives with my mother; she got too attached and he's now her companion animal. My younger dog, Kali, is almost 2, and despite her breed, she is a ball of energy ready to be loved and played with. I have experience with both small and large breed dogs and possess the ability to adapt to each dog and their individual needs. I take the time to learn their traits, and work with them on any behavioral habits. I wouldn't consider myself harsh, but I do hold a firm hand when necessary. Overall, I'm pretty outgoing and will provide a fun and loving atmosphere for these beautiful creatures.
Reviews
Sondra cares very much for animals and has a fur baby herself. She used to care for my Cocoa before she passed away. She did a great job keeping my Cocoa on her schedule for eating, exercise and potty breaks. Its also important to mention that Cocoa was a diva with a difficult personality, yet she liked Sondra. I recommend her as a doggy caregiver to anyone who seeks a loving person to look after their fur baby.
Sondra is my go-to for small group canine walking and structured play dates. My big guy is a gentle giant, highly sensitive, and has unique preferences such as favorite songs -- think Sweet Escape and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Kobain is an "only pet" and appreciates exercise and interaction with other dogs. Sondra exceeds my expectations. She is very intuitive, anticipates Kobain's needs, and keeps me well informed. She arranged a compilation of music especially for Kobain. I have received video texts of Kobain howling along to his favorite songs. She always returns him happy, clean, and ready for slumber.
My baby Cocoa is quite a handful, but warmed up nicely to Sondra. Sondra would talk with her and made her feel comfortable and happy. I would recommend her to care for other people's fur babies.

Information Sondra H. would like to know about your pet
The two major questions I always ask is how the dog(s) work with other dogs, and if there are any specifics about the dog(s) I need to know prior to care (i.e. diet, habits/tendencies, behavior problems, etc). I love dogs of all sizes, so breed is not an issue for me. If I'm unfamiliar with a specific breed, I will make it my priority to do as much research beforehand for some basic knowledge.
A typical day
I typically take our dog once a day because she is still a puppy and has a high level of energy. There is a neighborhood park one street over from our house I will utilize, as well as our large backyard that wraps around the house. Other than the nearby park, I also frequent other dog parks in the community as well as go for long walks along the river. Fun activities, in my opinion, is dependent upon the dog. I usually have a basket of chew toys/ropes/squeakers/etc. that provide them with access to exert their energy when we aren't out and about.
