While at my house, your cutie pies will be allowed on the sofa and bed unless you say otherwise. I’m also able to drive out to your place and spend some cuddle time with your fur babies. Just let me know what their needs are, I’m adaptable.

Information Sonali V. would like to know about your pet

I’m completely flexible so if you give me instructions on what your dog needs, I can adapt. My home and my timings permit me this flexibility.

A typical day

Hiking, walking, cuddling, sofa time. I have some great trails just behind my house which are ideal for exercising dogs. It just depends on what your dog needs.

Pet care experience

I’ve had several dogs over the years including puppies whom I’ve trained from scratch, as well as temperamental seniors. I love them all and they usually like me too. ☺️ To get $20 off your first booking, use this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/sonalv50918

Sonali was absolute LOVE for my Maggie. She was very understanding during the booking and took great care in knowing Maggie's schedule. I wasn't worried about leaving my pet with her at all. She sent great pictures and videos throughout the stay and made sure my pet had a great time.

We had a wonderful experience with Sonali watching our dog, Kona. Sonali shared updates and pictures everyday, as well as some videos. Kona wasn't eating her kibble (probably in protest of us going on vacation without her), so Sonali really went the extra mile by adding some chicken (after asking me, of course). Kona also went on two walks everyday, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be using Sona to pet sit again!

Moosa enjoyed his time at Sonali’s place. Sonali kept us updated with photos and videos throughout his stay. We picked our pup calm and relaxed.

Sonali was very kind and accommodating. She provided updates daily which was very reassuring as I had not boarded my dog before. I could see Fiona was enjoying her walks and being with Sonali and her own dog. I highly recommend Sonali for your boarding needs.
