About Sonia R.

Communication

1 repeat pet parent
100% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes
70% bookings with photo updates

Dog skills

20 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I sometimes board my neighbor's dog and a feeding routine is maintained during the day, early morning walk and throughout the day as required. I have no fence so a pee break is on leash around the gardens of my home. We usually walk about 3 times per day (weather permitting) with a final pee break before bedtime. Play times and cuddle times are spontaneous, as well as nap times! I don't mind dogs on my leather sofa.

Information Sonia R. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate a crate or own bedding, whatever the dog needs or is used to, and will follow any instructions given by the owner.

A typical day

Besides multiple walks, I have the space to fetch and play with tennis balls and other dog toys frequently throughout the day so the dog gets exercised and stimulated.

Sonia R.'s Neighborhood

Miss my dogs, I'll love yours too!

Pet care experience

I've had two dogs, one puppy and one rescue (both Wheaten Terriers). I miss them and decided to offer my home to other dogs who mostly prefer the comforts of being in a homely environment, especially for senior dogs who need to feel settled while owners are away. I am near the trails so dogs can have a long and safe walk, or just a few 20 minute strolls around the neighborhood - it's the dog's choice! Your dog will be in very good hands.

Sonia was very friendly and has great communication. She sent us pictures during our dog’s stay which is always a plus. Our dog looked super comfortable in her home.

Sonia has provided excellent care for my Aussie doodle for over two years. She is very caring and Ozzy is always happy during his stays. Highly recommended Sonia for any pet care!
