Student Pet Lover

Pet care experience

My parents own two dogs (a golden doodle and a shih tzu-poodle mix) and I grew up taking care of them as a part of my daily chores. To this day, when my parent's go on trips I will house and dog sit for them. I grew up in a neighborhood with a lot of pet owners and from the age of 13 years old, when neighbors left I would take care of their pets. I love being outdoors so long walks on local trails with dog companions is my version of heaven.

Safety, trust & environment

I live near Puffers Pond and Mill River so there are plenty of trails I am more than happy to take your dog on! Over the time I am available I will be home, so I will have two very sociable dogs (one large, one small) who can join yours on walks if you'd like.

Information Sophie S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any concerns you have on the health of your dog(s) due to the effect it would have on how I choose to walk them. For example, my family's golden-doodle Bella has arthritis in her shoulders but loves to run, knowing that she suffers from arthritis helps me because then I know even if she would be happy chasing a ball back and forth in the yard, it's better for her to go on longer, slower walks (so she isn't in pain later). I would also like to know any favorite places you have to take your dog on walks close to where you live. I have many places I love, but it might make the dog more comfortable to be some place she/he knows.

A typical day

I love hiking, so I would enjoy taking your dogs on long walks in the woods. I also really enjoy letting dogs socialize and play. My parent's dogs don't use leashes, so I'm used to letting dogs run and romp in the woods. I am happy to keep your dogs on leashes if that is what you're used to! I'm an animal lover so I love to give pets the attention they deserve, every pet should feel loved. This isn't a job, it's a relationship between the pet(s) and I, and it's important to me to get to know and appreciate your pet(s), so that when you're unable to give them the attention they deserve, I can!
