About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property

“I cannot say enough great things about Sonja and her beautiful, fully fenced in home in Flint Hill VA. The care your pup will receive is top notch! Not only does she love them like her own, she also has many years experience and knowledge caring for dogs of all ages. There is truly nothing better then piece of mind when you're on vacation, then knowing your pets are receiving the best care possible on their "vacation". I highly recommend Sonja.”
