Pet care experience

As someone who grew up in a "dog home" I'm very comfortable with a wide variety of dogs both big (Fred, German Shepard) and small (Abby, Cocker Spaniel). Over the last 4 years I've been personally training and raising my well-behaved resident couch-potato, Leo. I bring that same enthusiasm and kindness to every cat I meet as well (I've even fostered a few kittens!). I’m detail-oriented, timely, and mindful of existing routines such as walks, meals, medications, or any additional special instructions. I regularly send photos as updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my puppy! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such kind, capable hands. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that made it so clear how loved and well cared for my puppy was. She went above and beyond—not just meeting basic needs, but truly spending quality time playing, engaging, and making sure my puppy felt safe and happy. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but I would 100% recommend Sonia to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care. I will absolutely be reaching out again in the future!
