Pet care experience
Reliable Dog Care, Rain or Shine
I LOVE DOGS. Their lives are short, and I want to help them enjoy those years with comfort, care, and fun. I have had a dog companion in my life since I was five years old. I especially enjoy caring for high-energy dogs who need regular exercise—I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures. I also have experience with senior dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and keeping routines consistent. I’ve successfully trained dogs to potty outside, sit on command, and even walk off-leash. Whether your pup is young and active or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Sonia and Alex did an absolutely excellent job caring for my dog. He is developmentally delayed, requires daily medication, and is incontinent, so his care takes extra attention and patience. Throughout the 6 days he was with them, they communicated promptly and openly about any challenges that came up, and together we were able to make simple adjustments to ensure his stay was comfortable and successful. They sent pictures frequently, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. From every photo, it was clear that my dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their care. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, flexibility, and attentiveness Sonia and Alex showed, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone—especially those with pets who have special needs.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Soni! She is incredible and Nicky loved staying with her. I was across the country and went on a cruise and was able to enjoy my time knowing my baby was so well taken care of. Homemade food, daily walks, detailed updates and communication. She even helped us out last minute when our flighta changed. Thank you Soni! I will be booking for ALL of our future vacations! 🩵 Nicky has found a true friend!
Nae had a blast, constant updates that made me sure she was safe and having an awesome time. 11/10 Soni is the best!
Sonia did a great job watching my dog! She went out of her way to take him on many walks and took very good care of him while keeping me constantly updated on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her!
Sonia took such amazing care of our dog while we were having our wedding! Our baby was very happy to hang out with her and her pups, enjoyed some good outdoor adventures, and was sad to leave! Thank you Sonia!
Overall Soni did a great job! She was super accessible, prompt, and our kitties did great with her. They are anxious and still getting used to each other after we moved in together. They both loved her (huge green flag for anxious kitties!). Bonus that she works remotely and was able to spend extra time here which helped them to not have the attachment issues like they have before. We also had to make a quick request for her to go by the apartment and she went over ASAP after she saw the message which we really appreciated! Big thank you to Soni!

Schedule
I function better with a dog at my side. Dogs help me start my day with purpose—there’s nothing like a good morning walk to get us both moving and ready for breakfast and whatever the day brings. I love building routines that keep dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to be fully present for pet care throughout the day. With cats, I understand how much they value consistency. I’m attentive to their morning and evening routines—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them space or affection depending on their mood. I also make time for play and interaction throughout the day, based on each cat’s personality.

Communication is everything. I try to make sure I understand each animal's boundaries and needs before providing care, this includes list of allergies and medications.
A typical day
If you’re a dog, we start the day with a nice early walk to get energy flowing and tails wagging. Throughout the day, we’ll mix in playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love—plus longer walks or adventures if you need them. If you’re a cat, mornings start with your feeding and play routine to set a happy tone for the day 🌞. I’ll make sure your litter is fresh, your water is clean, and you get interaction or quiet time depending on your mood. Evenings end with another round of care so you feel safe and content before bed.
