Vet student, loves to care for pets

Pet care experience

I have been a vet technician for the past 4 years and am now in vet school. I cared for my vets dog for years along with dogs of family, friends and other clients. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages and tempers! I am always willing to take it slow for senior dogs, or run with younger, higher energy dogs. I understand the importance of adapting to each pups needs & giving them as much space or as much love as they may require.

Sonia is such a sweet, caring, and devoted animal lover. Her dedication to caring for pets is amazing and demonstrates true passion. She has taken care of several small dogs and large dogs, ultimately showing me how skilled she is. My animals love her and she has been the only person to care for them for about a year now. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker who will ensure your pets safety.

Sonia has done dog sitting and walking for my GSD and Standard Poodle multiple times. She is always the first person I reach out to when I go on vacation or can't make it home to walk my dogs. I know that my dogs are being cared for by someone with a great love for animals and experience as a vet tech. Having a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter allows me to enjoy peace of mind knowing my dogs are getting the best care possible. If you are looking for a reliable and knowledgeable dog walker/sitter, I highly recommend her.

Information Sonia R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any medical needs, dietary restrictions, fears, mobility limitations, aggression triggers or anything that you feel I should know about them prior to meeting them!

A typical day

I will take them on walks 2-3 times per day for extended periods of time depending on their ability to do so. I love to play with dogs in my house with toys, playing fetch or tug. I also enjoy just spending time with them whether it is watching TV or massaging them while I study.
