Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I have a dog and a guinea pig - this means frequent walks, feedings, plenty of play time and love, cage cleanings, enrichment, nail trimmings (only done by self on guinea pig), and baths every so often. I am of course going to treat your pet as I would my own, not just with plenty of love, but if there are any services you would like done while I am with your pet, let me know!

Information Sophie R. would like to know about your pet

If your pet is dog aggressive, requires slow/guided reassurance, allergies (such as chicken - which I know can be surprising!), loves to eat inanimate objects (shoe/slipper thieves) Allergies, history of heart disease or respiratory issues, and medication with your vets number in case of emergency!

A typical day

Whether it be fetch, tug-of-war, or a walk in the park with your high-energy dog, or a chill movie night complete with cat toys, you can guarantee that your pet will have a blast when we hang out!

Pet care experience

As an animal lover of all kinds from Guinea pigs to Great Danes, I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own dog and Guinea pigs as well as two years of experience in Emergency and Intensive Veterinary Care working as a Vet Tech Assistant at one of the higher ranked animal hospitals in Connecticut. I have experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs of all ages and in all different conditions of health. I am trained in animal CPR, Care (cage cleanings, food, water, etc.), walks every 2-4 hours, and more! So if your pet makes a mess or needs a little extra love - there's nothing I can't handle!

I think Sophie would be a a good fit for this job as not only has she worked in emergency care for animals at an animal hospital but she has watched/babysat my dog in the past. Despite my dog being the kind that takes a while to warm up to people they managed to warm up to Sophie with an hour.
