Safety, trust & environment

The way I care for pets can vary depending on the service provided, whether it’s for my own pets or a client’s pets. Here’s how I typically approach pet care in different situations: Feeding & Hydration: I follow the client's specific instructions for feeding, whether it’s a regular schedule or special dietary needs. I make sure fresh water is always available. Exercise & Walks: I make sure the pets get their regular walks or playtime sessions. For dogs, I’ll take them on walks, runs, or play sessions at the park . For cats, I may engage them with interactive toys or give them time to roam and explore in a safe space.

Keeping Your Furry Friends Happy

Pet care experience

With 3 years of hands-on experience providing dedicated care for a variety of pets, I have developed a strong skill set in maintaining the health, safety, and well-being of animals. My experience includes: Feeding & Dietary Management: Ensuring pets receive appropriate meals, tailored to their specific dietary needs, including managing feeding schedules and administering special diets or medications. Exercise & Enrichment: Organizing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation activities for dogs, and providing enrichment activities to keep pets engaged and happy. This includes interactive toys, puzzle feeders, and grooming sessions. Health Monitoring: Observing pets for signs of illness or discomfort and alerting pet owners or veterinarians when necessary. Assisting with administering medications and managing post-surgery care. Safety & Cleanliness: Ensuring that pet environments are safe, clean, and secure. This includes maintaining pet areas, cleaning litter boxes, and managing pet-proofing in the home or the park Communication: Building trusting relationships with pet owners by providing regular updates on their pets' health and well-being, and addressing any concerns they may have. Multi-pet Care: Managing the care of multiple pets at once, ensuring each animal's individual needs are met while maintaining harmony in a multi-pet household.

Sonia was the best sitter for my dog. She was so sweet and understanding from the moment we met. She kept me updated with Kleo's day and sent plenty of pictures. I will definitely book again, thank you Sonia for taking care of my baby!

Great photos of our elderly cat, relaxing, cuddling, and enjoying her pampered visit. Sonya went above and beyond to swing by our house and pick up medicine we'd forgotten. Great peace of mind knowing Maya was in safe, capable hands!

Sonia was fantastic with Murray and was extremely warm and understanding throughout his stay. She also sent the best dog-sitting pictures of anyone we've booked with and it shows how much she cares.
