Full-time, experienced dog lover!

Pet care experience

Dogs are my favourite creatures on Earth. I've always been lucky enough to have a special canine best friend in my life, and I currently have a 2 year old Siberian Husky named Nym. I've learned so much about dog training, obedience, and mental stimulation through the experience of having such an intelligent, high-energy breed. I've also been walking and boarding dogs of all shapes and sizes in Tofino for the past year and a half, and it is such a dream job. I love spending time in the outdoors with dogs by my side - hiking, biking, walking and running are so much more fun with a canine companion! I would absolutely love the opportunity to walk or puppysit your precious family member :) I'm currently available anytime, and any day of the week.

Sonja has an instant connection to almost every dog I've ever watched her relate to. She is intuitive and genuine with animals and truly honors their existence, like few people I've known. Stephen R

Sonja is one of the most caring people in the world - Kaia (my puppy) says the same. She is a true animal lover. Sonja has cared for my 2 year old Lab-Husky mix and Sonja manages to both get on Kaia’s level with love/affection and keeps Kaia in line to reinforce how we have trained Kaia. She listened and learned our routines and needs for Kaia. I recommend Sonja to anyone who wants to make sure their dog will be well cared for and genuinely loved.

Sonja Ringo has been walking and taking care of my dog Shadow for the past year! Shadow is a medium sized dog, he is part Husky and Chow. Anytime Sonja is with Shadow Its very clear just how much he loves spending time with her! Sonja is always smiling and ready to give Shadow as much love as he needs! Sonja has been nothing short of reliable and trusting and I would highly recommend her as a dog walker and or sitter!

There is no one on this earth who will love and care for your dog more whole heartedly than Sonja. She will without a doubt care for it like it is her own fur baby, since she is a traveller she hasn't been able to have a dog of her own and therefore gives as much love as possible to any pup that crosses her path , including the strays on the streets of Asia. Not only will she care for your dog, she is one of the best people to hang out with and can always make you smile. If you have a chance to hire her, definitely do so without hesitation.

Information Sonja R. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences and accept all types of canine furry friends. Let me know some information about your dog's personality, needs, possible triggers (such as resource guarding or leash reactivity), their favorite games, and any other information you think is relevant. I look forward to meeting them!

A typical day

We will play in my backyard, bicycle along the river pathways (if your dog is up to it), walk around the neighborhood, play tug-o-war and other games, do some training with treats, and anything else your dog loves to do!
