Pet care experience

Your dog is treated like family!

I've had my small breed dog for 9 years. She brings me so much joy! I love opportunities to care for other dogs the same way I care for her. My neighborhood is ideal for taking walks, and my dog is very friendly and easygoing with other dogs. I only take 1-2 dogs at a time in addition to my dog. I've been dog-sitting for one year and I already have so many joyful experiences under my belt.

Sonia was an excellent caretaker of our dog. We had a wedding in Philipstown and needed someone to pick up our dog after the ceremony. Sonia was so reliable, punctual, and took excellent care of our dog. She sent pictures and he had a great time. Highly recommend

I found Sonia last minute and I was so so happy I did. She took such great care of Ranger and sent updates daily. She knew how worried I was leaving Ranger but she put me at ease quickly. I would definitely use Sonia again.

5 stars +!! This is the second time Cozmo stays with Sonia for 10 days and I know he's in good hands. i don't have to worry because I can see from the pictures he's happy, and I fully trust her with my fur baby. Thank you Sonia! Cozmo is already missing you and his pals!

Schedule

I work from home, so I am completely flexible to care of the needs of your pet. My routine revolves around the needs of your dog!

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

We will be primarily on the first floor of my home, where dogs can relax and play as they like. They are welcome to wander upstairs if they choose to though. We are perfectly comfortable with having pets on furniture and beds. Their safety and comfort is number one! Please bring their food, feeding times and amount, any medications they may take, with instructions on how to administer them. You may also want to bring their bed and favorite toys. Also, please bring their leash, as we will be outdoors frequently for potty breaks and walks. I live with my spouse and teenaged daughter, whom also love dogs.

Pets

A typical day

Walks in my safe and pet-friendly neighborhood three times a day or as needed, toys and games, treats and feeding times, and snuggles! If you'd like, please bring your pet’s favorite toys but know that I always have a stash on hand. I don't leave dogs that I am sitting home alone, aside from that rare errand or emergency. We have cameras throughout the house so we can monitor your dog at all times. We also play soothing nature sounds and calming music for your dog when it is nap and/or relaxation time. I take only small and medium-sized dogs, and I take only 1-2 dogs at a time.
