Fun, responsible and dedicated animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, I have been around and looked after animals all my life from a very small age. I have managed a pet store and worked in an animal hospital for two years, then trained to become a professional dog groomer allowing me to work my own hours and to free up time to help families in need of care for their beloved animal family. I love all animals and have experience looking after and working with dogs, small animals and birds. I adore all animals small or big and enjoy spending time with them and taking care of every need including elderly animals or medication needs. I have 3 of my own dogs, English Springer spaniel, English cocker spaniel and a Yorkipom who are my world. I also have a pineapple conure (parrot) who is my little Buddy and just loves cuddles. I understand and know how important it is to ask for someone to look after your pets, i've been there. They are part of your family and I would treat them that way, they deserve all the love and care in the world and that's what i offer.

Sonia was an absolute gem looking after Banjo and Smudge for a very long day while we had to be away. She was communicative and on time and really made us feel comfortable leaving our babies with her. I’m sure we’ll use her services again and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Sonia is a loving and caring lady with many years experience of looking after her own and family and friends' pets. She treats them as if they are her own. Sonia is extremely responsible and you can guarantee your pet will have the best possible experience with her, where they will be looked after and loved.

My preference is to care for your animals in your home as I believe this is less stressful for them, however I do have transport if needed. I am happy to consider any requests.

Information Sonia R. would like to know about your pet

Its great to know if your animals have any special needs or requirements so I ensure i care for them the same as you do, or any special treats, games, walks they like.

A typical day

i love to offer variety, different smells on walks and over fields where they can explore and use their nose. I also love to try different brain games, like find it or scent work.
