Update: I’ve been doing Rover for awhile now and I love it! I’d like to think I give the service I want my dog/fur baby to receive and I’m enjoying it in the process!! Hello, I'm Sonya, your dedicated dog walker, boarder, day care provider, and house-sitting enthusiast. Let me share a little about myself and why I'm so passionate about what I do. First and foremost, I absolutely adore dogs. They're not just pets to me; they're family, and being around them brings immeasurable joy to my life. Dogs have been an integral part of my world for as long as I can remember, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have turned that love into a career. My commitment to the well-being of dogs goes beyond a simple fondness. I am proud to be certified in Pet CPR and First Aid, and I also serve as an instructor for certification courses. Understanding how to handle emergencies is crucial to me, as I want to ensure the safety of every furry friend in my care. Furthermore, my expertise extends to canine behavior and body language, as well as nutrition. This knowledge allows me to provide comprehensive care tailored to each dog's unique needs. Whether it's a reassuring pat on the back or preparing a nutritious meal, I take every aspect of their health and happiness seriously. Communication is key, and I want to keep you informed and reassured while you're away from your beloved pet. That's why I make it a point to send picture updates and provide information about their eating habits, stool, and overall well-being. You don't have to respond, but I want you to see how your furry friend is thriving under my care. Rest assured that your pet's comfort is paramount to me. I understand that different households have different rules, and I'm here to adapt. If you're comfortable with it, your pet is welcome on my furniture and even my bed. However, if you prefer not to have them on furniture, I promise not to untrain them. Outside playtime is a must, and my fenced yard offers plenty of space for your dog to run around and explore. Your furry family member will enjoy regular breaks and lots of outdoor fun. I work from home, which means your dog will have my undivided attention throughout the day. They'll receive not only the care they need but also an abundance of snuggles and affection. Feel free to read my reviews and hear from other pet owners who have entrusted their beloved companions to my care. I genuinely love what I do, and I consider myself incredibly blessed to lead a life filled with furry friends and wagging tails. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member. I can't wait to meet them and provide the love and attention they deserve. Warm regards, Sonya
