About: I’ve been hanging out with dogs since I was 10 - basically, if it has four legs and a wagging tail, I’m in. I’ve cared for all kinds of pups over the years, from little Pomeranians who think they’re in charge of the house, to Great Pyrenees who are basically living, snoring throw pillows. No matter their size or personality, I take the time to get to know each dog and figure out what makes them feel safe, happy, and understood. I’ve worked with shy pups, anxious ones, and even a few with a bit of an attitude — and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of earning their trust (bribes in the form of treats may or may not be involved). I speak fluent dog body language, and I always try to be whatever they need - whether it’s a playmate, a snuggle buddy, or just someone who respects their personal bubble. I’ve also spent a lot of time with senior dogs and puppies, so I’m used to things like giving medication, dealing with mobility issues, sticking to special diets, and providing lots of attention. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule and no set meetings, which allows me to be fully available and present throughout the day. Whether your pet needs consistent companionship, regular potty breaks, or just someone to keep them company, I can easily adapt my routine to fit their needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to maintain a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for them. I always follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, whether it’s regarding feeding routines, medical needs, or safety precautions. I ensure that all doors and gates are securely closed, and that pets are supervised at all times to avoid any accidents or escapes. You will also receive daily photos and updates. I also strive to create a calm atmosphere by sticking to familiar routines, helping pets feel comfortable and less stressed while their owners are away. My goal is to treat each pet with the same love and care as if they were my own.

About: I have helped raise dogs and cats since I was a child. I have experience with dogs with special needs that require medication. I love dogs of all sizes and cats, too! My husband and I work from home and have very flexible hours. I believe in rewarding good behavior with lots of love and am strict when necessary in the face of bad behavior. I don't believe in using physical discipline and have never done so. I work from home and am available at any time, so I have a lot of flexibility that matches what clients need for their pets. I always do my best to make clients and their pets comfortable. I prefer to meet the pets beforehand to ensure we're a good fit.

About: I have always been the go-to petsitter of my family and friends. I have experience with dogs and cats, both juveniles and seniors. I am equipped to handle feedings, potty breaks, walks, bath time, and whatever else your pet may need, as well as loving them like my own. My other commitments have no strict schedule, so I am always available to care for your pets! This includes frequent visits, infrequent visits, and potential overnights! I understand and respect that every owner has different rules and expectations for what goes on in their home. I have been trusted in the past to be the sole caretaker of a client's home and pets over a 3 week period; the family returned and was excited to find their home cleaner than they had left it! This does not always have to be the case, of course, as I am happy to leave everything exactly as it is if that is what the client prefers. It is all up to the individual owner!

“Excellent care and flexibility for my pup!”

I have helped my family, neighbors, and friends with babysitting, bathing, feeding, and watching their pets! I have a wide range of experience and knowledge of all types of pets due to my major choice and personal care, these pets include: hermit crabs, fish, dogs and cats of all sizes, birds, rabbits, turtles, and some reptiles! I would love to work with your fur/feather/scales baby! I am just at the cusp of graduating from vet tech school, and am now working at a vet tech clinic! Due to the hours of the vet, I can be busy helping care for our furry/feathered/scaled friends from 8-6pm, but my schedule WILL vary! Please message me as I can always visit before work, and after, and my times are variable! I have experience with multiple animals at once, and I know a lot about many animals! If you have an animal I am not familiar with I will do the research! I believe in good/positive reinforcements, never negative or physical force with them!

About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have never had a moment in my life where I was not around pets in some capacity.

I was also my friends and neighbors contact when they needed someone to care for their pets. I am also an active volunteer with a local pitbull rescue and spend my free time with the rescue dogs and doing adoption events. I currently have two dogs and one cat of my own that I love very much. I am available on a case by case basis during the day throughout the week but have open availability on weekends for in-home sitting or walks. I can do early morning, lunch, or evening walks/check-in for those busy days to bring you peace of mind that your pets are safe and cared for. Do you need someone to come keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re out for the day? Or a few drop-in visits? Maybe even just to bring yourself peace of mind? I am happy to help provide that. I take care of all animals as though they are my own by ensuring their best interest at heart. I treat the safety and well being of all animals as a top priority. I truly care for animals and have an infinite amount of compassion and respect for them. I am knowledgeable with different behaviors and walking accessories (ex: different harness and collar set ups) so I can ensure safety for your pet in all situations that may present while on a walk or visit. Please trust that your pets will be treated with absolute care and respect. I will go above and beyond for any animal in my care as well as providing you with the best communication and care for your home and time.

“Sonia has been a life saver with taking our puppy on 2 walks a day while me and my fiance are at work. She is sure to send pictures of him on every walk and he is always smiling in each picture. She takes him on nice long routes around our neighborhood and is so good with him, which is great because hes very energetic. I trust Sonia and recommend her to anyone!”

“Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Pepper. She was fed twice a day and walked once a day. Alex followed our directions perfectly. It was so reassuring to know we can go out of town and have Pepper well cared for. I would highly recommend Alex.”
