Your Dog's New BFF!!
Pet care experience
I'm a part time retail worker looking to spend my off days hanging with more dogs! My hope and goal is to make house/dog sitting/boarding my full time gig. I'm very active rain, snow, or shine to take your dog out for a good ol' walk somewhere fun. I've pet sat many dogs before moving to college and into a place of my own, so I have vast experience with many different breeds. When I pet sit, I walk the dog two times a day, with constant fresh water, food, and playtime and well as relaxation time with them. I do have two dogs of my own, Spectra and Bishop, who come with me to my house sittings and check-ins and they get along with the other dogs very well. If you have a dog and need a sitter, I’d love to do a meet and greet with your dog(s) and mine. They’re like assistans to provide canine interaction and playtime. During my visits, I will send you photos of how much fun your pup is having with me and my own dog. I also like to bring my nice camera to take better shots of them. As a former employee of PetSmart, I take pride in making sure that your pets are loved and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is what I live for every day. When it comes to medications, I write down in my planner the times your dog needs their meds. As a pet and horse owner, animal care is extremely important to me. I treat all animals as if they are my own.
Reviews
We appreciated the photo updates and quick responses. Seems like Lucy and Tundra were well taken care of!
Sofia was great! She sent us photos all the time of our dog which we loved seeing. It seemed like Milo had a great time and we really appreciate Sofia watching him over the holidays.
It was wonderful working with you and I hope to work with you again in the future! I appreciated your flexibility and little notes you left after your visits! The photos you sent eased my worries about leaving my boy home! Thank you so much!

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure the front door is always closed. Food and any other enticing things are always up and out of reach. All dogs are fed away from each other to avoid food aggression. In my home, I like to remove collars when I know I won’t be going out anymore (nighttime). All pets are taken out for one last nightly potty. Unlimited access to water always.

Information Sophia C. would like to know about your pet
No Breed preferences - love all breeds!! Questions about your dog(s): - Do they get along with other dogs? - Do they enjoy the dog park? - What types of activities does your dog enjoy doing? - Do they have a Paws For a Beer Membership?
A typical day
Around the dog's own neighborhood, maybe down to Boulevard, the trails at Padden, the dog park trips, and at Squalicum Park. I love going on walks so your pup will get all the walks they want!

Availability
Since I work part time, I make sure on days I work that I add an extra walk in the schedule. I make time for my animals. That’s the rule. No matter how busy I am that day, they need some time for care and cuddles. I’ll wake up early and get ready, feed the animals, take them for a walk to potty and then give them a cookie in their kennel.
