Responsible veterinary student

Pet care experience

I am a veterinary student who has interned with veterinarians for five years, volunteered in animal shelter kennels for six years, and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I am a runner and enjoy taking dogs for long walks and runs, but I also don't mind spending time with dogs with less endurance that prefer to be groomed or played with inside. I am not intimidated by very large dogs, I welcome all sizes! I have experience with dog-reactive dogs, safely restraining animals, some training, and administering medication. I know warning signs to look out for in sick animals and how to care for animals with heat stroke, obstructions, quills, bite wounds, hotspots, and more. I can clean ears, clip toenails, and give baths. As student, I have a somewhat flexible schedule and can care for pets before class, on my lunch breaks, and after class. I also have several veterinarians on speed dial if there ever were to be a health issue with your pet (but hopefully not!).

Would definitely continue to recommend Sophia for the care of your pup- she is great, consistently provides info ( ie pottying and how he did on the walk) and always remembers to leave him with a Kong !

Sophie did a wonderful job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. She handled several issues that came up professionally and with kindness. Best of all, our German Shepard, who generally doesn't let new people into our house, absolutely loves Sophie! We are very lucky to have found her.

I love all dogs, big and small! I have no breed preferences, but I recognize all dogs are unique, so I would just like to know what activities they enjoy the most.

I love going on walks and runs around the area and to local parks. Dogs staying with me can enjoy lots of play time and cuddling too!

I have an hour for lunch breaks so I can typically drop-in on a pet mid-day, and I also have 2-3 afternoons off per week. I am an early riser and can care for pets in the mornings and fit it around studying in the evenings.
