Pet care experience

Will make your pet feel at home :)

Hi! My name is Sonia and I love animals. I have been pet sitting for the past 20 years and I cannot live without pets. I go on 3 mile walks or runs every day with Knox and I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’ve lost two dogs to cancer and heart disease so I am familiar with giving medication and taking care of elderly pets. I have owned and fostered all types of breeds and ages. Knox is friendly with dogs and cats and loves everyone, he wants to be around the attention all day. I have occasional errands and meet-ups with friends, but otherwise, I will be at home. I also have experience with cats since I owned two for their entire lives! For clients who are looking for someone to stay in their home, I am more than happy to accommodate my services in your own home but I just want to let you know that I am working for about 6-7 hours a day, so I will not be at your home all day. I’ve tried this option in the past and have actually found that dogs are much less anxious staying in a place they are familiar with :) I always question if the dog has any separation anxiety. I've dealt with plenty of dogs that experience separation anxiety and I have learned many tricks on how to help ease them into the stay and to feel more comfortable. But having the heads up helps that much more! I don't really have any breed preferences, just that they are friendly! Knox would stay at home unless it is okay to bring him over now and then or you'd prefer if they were to stay with us in your home. It's all up to you and your preference for your pup :)

Sonia was very good in keeping me up todate about my dogs and about keeping them engaged and comfortable. She was also caring and loci g with them!

Great as always! Sonia was engaged and communicative, and our beasts seemed at ease when we returned.

Sonia was great with our cat and her drop in visits were exactly what we were looking for.

Sonia was absolutely wonderful. Great communication from the start, reliable, and my cats adored her (even the shy one)! Highly recommend Sonia and will definitely contact her for pet care during our next trip.

Sonia took care of my 3 dogs at my house for five days. She was great! She quickly understood the dynamics between the 3 dogs (one was my son’s dog). She made accommodations to minimize the tensions that occur when my son’s dog visits. She communicated often with me and left the house tidy. Highly recommend her!

I don't have any breed preferences, but I would just like to know everything you do about your pet. I want to make sure they feel at home while you are away.
