I'm here for dog hugs :)
Pet care experience
I've been home for several months while my job at a special needs school is on summer vacation and I'm looking to fill my days with some dog fun :) Je suis parfaitement bilingue, si vous êtes plus comfortable en français ou en anglais, sentez-vous en bien libre! También hablo español suficientemente bien para tener una conversación! My apartment is near métro Crémazie, Jarry, Jean Talon area. I am happy to adapt to special needs, such as reactive dogs or dogs needing medicine or special care, as long as you give me detailed instructions. I know how stressful it can be to have dogs that require particular care! I would be happy to meet with you if you want to get to know me in person before letting me take care of your pet! My goal isn't to make a profit, but really for a mutually beneficial help (I get to go outside and play with a dog, you get peace of mind that your pet is taken care of). I've never had a pet growing up, but I've always loved dogs. My favorite spot to relax is at the doggy café near métro Mont-Royal! I have dog-sat family/friends' dogs before (a week or two), and I've always loved to learn about dog behavior and training.
Reviews
Parfait !! Sophie est une excellente gardienne ! Que de bonnes choses à dire, envoie de photos tout au long du séjour, et chien le plus heureux du monde ! Merci Sophie ! :)
My furry baby ( a German Shepherd) was very happy and comfortable with Sophie. Sophie was a great great sitter. I totally recommend her.
Sophie is at her happiest when she's with dogs. Her love for dogs and all animals in general is genuine making her an excellent choice for a caregiver. Entrust your pet in Sophie's care and you're ensuring that he/she will be receiving the best possible treatment, care, attention and lots o' love!

Information Sophie B. would like to know about your pet
I live in an apartment building with people walking in and out. A dog that barks a lot when he hears people at the door will not be a good fit. I don't have breed preferences, but I would like to know about your dog's behavior. I am fine with reactive dogs, as long as you let me know your tricks to manage the behaviors. What are your dog's triggers (squirrel chasing?) and fears? How does he act around other dogs? Around strangers (adults, kids)? Can I let strangers pet him, or is it better not to? Is he food-motivated? Can I get his attention with treats, does he listen well to verbal commands (even from a dog walker), does he respond to pets?
A typical day
Definitely walk to a park (Parc Jarry, Parc Villeray, Parc Henri-Julien, etc). If the owner is comfortable with it, I would love to bring your dog to a dog park! If dog toys are available, I will be happy to play fetch, frisbee, train some commands, etc. If you have recommendations or special requests, feel free to share them!
