Information Sonia B. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I like to know your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, medications, allergies, and any behavioral concerns such as anxiety or separation issues. I also ask about compatibility with other dogs to ensure a safe and comfortable stay for everyone.

A typical day

Calm, Loving Home Boarding

Pet care experience

Calm, Loving Home Boarding with 24/7 Supervision I am a full-time professional pet sitter with over four years of experience, providing attentive, loving care in a calm home environment. I live in Astoria-NYC and share my home with two senior Shih Tzus, Izzy (12) and Jingle (13), giving me extensive experience with senior dogs and gentle routines. Dogs in my care are never left alone. I offer a large backyard, plenty of indoor space, and 24/7 supervision. For overnight stays, dogs sleep in the same room as me, ensuring comfort, safety, and emotional security. I have hands-on experience with anxious dogs and separation anxiety, and I focus on maintaining a peaceful, structured routine. I provide a crate-free, home-style environment, but I am happy to accommodate a crate if provided by the owner. Every dog is treated with patience, love, and respect—just like family. My priority is giving pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away.

Sonia is truly fantastic and I highly recommend her! She took care of my dog like he was her own. I couldn’t be happier with the services she provides.

We booked with Sophia last minute for a few hours with our anxious pup. He seemed to have a lot of fun with the other dogs and was happy at pick up. Thanks!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
