Pet care experience

I am an Adjunct Professor of Psychology, Sociology, and College Prep classes at local colleges/universities and have a random schedule in which I am home most of the week. I have a chihuahua and before that I had a Shih Tzu mix. I have been with Rover since Jan 2015 and enjoy it very much! Why I love dog sitting Dogs are like grandchildren to me! I love seeing all the different breeds and personalities! I understand that dogs are like family members and I will ensure they get the very best treatment, love, care and attention possible! Meet my pets Lily is a chihuahua and a trained service animal. Gets along with other people and dogs after a warm up period. About my yard My yard is spacious enough for small dogs to run and play. The yard is fenced in and we live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with very little traffic. As long as it's OK with owners, I sometimes take pups to dog-friendly parks too!

Sonya did a great job with our little girl. Always kept us informed with photos and text to let is know how Our dog was doing. I would definitely recommend her to watch anyone's dog. Big thank you to Sonya for watching Our little Lily.

Information Sonya S. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the safety and comfort of all dogs: Please let me know: If the dog has a violent history, bitting humans or other animals. Allergies. Medical issues. Accidents in the house. Not spayed or neutered. Likes, dislikes, triggers. Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and flea & tick protection. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. Please let me know if they have any naughty behaviors like chewing or going potty in the house. These are OK, I would just like to know. **New Dogs who need sitting for longer than 7 nights must do a trial night with me prior to the long stay to ensure it is a good fit. I recommend booking a minimum of one week prior just in case the fit is not good and owners need to seek alternate arrangements. This is to ensure the safety and happiness of the dogs, owners, and sitters!**

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: I have a very low traffic residential neighborhood where I often run/walk with the dogs. As long as it's OK with owners, I sometimes take pups to dog-friendly parks too! Your dog's sleeping arrangement: With me in my bedroom on a dog bed or in bed if requested. Some dogs prefer our living room couches, and that's ok too. Time I'll spend with your dog: I work part-time teaching so I am home most of the day. Summer time I work from home. Max away time is less than 4 hours, if I need to run errands.
