The furriest stay-cations around!

Pet care experience

*NOTICE* Rude behavior and hateful language, including pricing disputes, will NOT be tolerated before, during or after stays. I will also not respond to text or call spamming through the app. I reserve the right to refuse or cancel a stay request if this happens. Please be respectful to Rover’s sitters. *COVID-19 UPDATE* I have received all of my current booster shots. At this time, I will only accept house stays if each resident has been fully vaccinated plus booster shots, and the house is well ventilated. Please continue to be honest; we must protect each other at this time and stay safe. I am used to working with dogs of all ages and sizes; I currently own a mischievous dachshund mix and a year old tabby cat. Past care and house sitting experience includes: monitoring the dog/cat's overall health and administering any medication, replenishing food and water accordingly, going out for walks, having playtime, and cleaning messes (if any were made in the house or outside). Depending on the age and physical condition of the dog, I'm comfortable walking or running on any terrain with it. I can also work on a flexible schedule with my clients, i.e. planning around their family, work schedule, vacation time, etc. In emergency situations involving the client's dog, I will contact the client immediately, as well as the closest vet clinic. Please let me know in advance if your pet suffers any serious conditions, such as arthritis, epilepsy, heart/kidney issues, etc., and I will help them accordingly. As or right now, I work from home. During a drop in visit, I stay with the pets most of the time, only stepping out to run errands. In the case of an overnight stay, I sleep over and keep an eye on all pets in the home. I have experience crating dogs, and will keep certain rooms off limits per owner’s request. Please let me know if your dog isn’t allowed to go in a certain area of the backyard for any reason. I can work on a flexible schedule with my clients, i.e. planning around their family, work schedule, vacation time, etc. At this time, I work remotely, and won't leave pets alone for longer than 4 hours at a time. During a drop in visit, I stay with the pets most of the time, only stepping out to run errands. In the case of an overnight stay, I sleep over and keep an eye on all pets in the home. As a courtesy, I leave my own dog at home in the care of my roommates. She's still training to be socialized with other dogs. My schedule is flexible at this time. I have remote work, and can easily connect with my job as long as an internet is stable. I will stay with the pets overnight for long term stays, and drop in for at least an hour during the day as requested through booking. Safety is my top priority; names and numbers of close contacts (neighbors, relatives, friends, etc.) and vet clinic information are greatly appreciated. I do not distribute this information outside of my job out of respect for privacy.

Sonia was great as always! Responsible, communicative, and every time she's sat for us we've felt like our dog was in good hands. Highly recommended!

We have 2 senior dogs with health issues requiring extra TLC. Sonia did an amazing job caring for them while we were away.

As always Sonia took great care of our German Shepherd and cat while we were out of town. Dakota is always so excited to see her. House and all are in good order. Thanks Sonia

Safety, trust & environment

During overnight stays, I will be in the client’s home with the pets. This helps calm separation anxiety and ensures the home’s safety. For drop in visits, I will only stay up to an hour to walk the dog(s) and make sure they have food, water and medicine if need be.

Information Sonia P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about a dog's temperament ahead of time: energy level, any aggression problems, noise sensitivity, etc. This also applies to walking, if they’re triggered by squirrels, other dogs or anything else.

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs in a park setting, or simply down the street. Favorite games of mine include playing fetch, tug of war, and hiding 1-2 treats in a small area for the dog to find.
