Information Sonja H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any behaviors I should be aware of. I have experience with basically all types of dogs - reactive, submissive, anxious, energetic, grumpy, etc. - and would love to hear specifics so I can best accommodate their needs to ensure their safety and maximize their enjoyment!

A typical day

A typical day includes: Walks or runs, playtime inside or outside, chill time, and of course, all of the affection they can handle. Working from home means I typically walk them before work, at lunch, and after work, with a short pee break before bed.

Sunnyside NE Dog Lover

Pet care experience

My name is Sonja and I am a huge dog lover, from the XL breeds down to the teacups and everything in between. We lost our beloved 10-year old dog in Aug ‘24, and I’ve been missing having a bestie around while I work from home, but am not ready to get a new dog yet. I’m excited to befriend some new pups! My house is a 3-story rowhouse in the Kingman Park area. Your dog can run around the entire place, help me garden in the front and side yard (3.5-ft fence) and/or lounge in our small back patio, that has a high 6-ft fence (which is especially helpful for jumpers!). I have an XL crate that I can set up, if requested, should your dog prefer their own space.

As always Sonja and Suly were exceptional. My little Kiwi had the best time! I received the cutest pictures and videos of her playing her heart out - She loves going over there and it's a peace of mind that my baby is in such good hands.
