Pet care experience

Calm, Loving Home Boarding

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.

Thank you for accepting our puppy with the last-minute request. Sounds like he had a lot of fun there. Your images and videos are great. Looking forward to book with you again.

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.

Wrigley always had such a great time at Sonia’s! There is outdoor space and plenty of fun areas for him to enjoy. Sonia is very thoughtful, sends consistent pictures and videos and updates!

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!!

We are so happy to have found Sonia. She was wonderful with our little guy who can be quite shy and nervous. We look fwd to working with her again.

Chili’s second stay with Sonia was successful! She was nervous the first time since she’s more of a socially anxious dog but the second time she seemed to ease in a bit more. Sonia sent many videos throughout the day as always!

Schedule

Pet care is my full-time job, which allows me to dedicate my day entirely to the dogs in my care. I’m home most of the time and can provide constant supervision, structured routines, and plenty of attention throughout the day and night.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, safe, and loving home environment where dogs are never left alone. I have a large backyard, plenty of indoor space, and I sleep in the same room as boarding dogs. I have experience with senior, anxious, and sensitive dogs. I prefer a crate-free environment but will gladly use a crate if provided by the owner.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes regular potty breaks, backyard time, short walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine closely, balancing physical activity with rest. For anxious or senior dogs, I focus on calm companionship, mental stimulation, and a peaceful, stress-free environment.

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.
