I owned a larger sized springer spaniel mix (he was a mutt, but my life partner) named Gismo until he passed last year. He had hip issues that made certain walks difficult and required multiple, shorter walks per day. Being busy with school and work, I hired Sophie as both a dog sitter and a regular dog walker. She accommodated my needs, and his needs very well. I would come home to a comfortably tired dog and the walks were gentle enough that he wouldn't have issues climbing the stairs like he did when I sometimes took him on too-difficult walks. When on several long vacations, she adhered to his feeding schedule and medical needs incredibly well. I always felt like my dog was in good hands. It's hard to feel comfortable with an elderly dog in the care of another person, but she put my mind at ease with her wonderful care.
