Safety, trust & environment

I have 9 years of previous experience with boarding animals and work well with sticking to the specifics of every pet's needs. I have experience with all different breeds, including those requiring extra medical attention. I am trained in administering injections as well. I can also care for reptiles, birds, and any other pet in the household.

Information Sonia R. would like to know about your pet

Before booking if there are any special instructions I would like to be aware. I am always willing to work with the pet. If you are booking for a dog walk, something I like to know beforehand is if the pup is aggressive just to check our surrounding during the walk for their safety.

A typical day

I love taking my pups to the beach and letting them get all their energy out for the day, especially at Carmel Beach, which has a long and amazing trail for walks in the morning or evening.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Sonia! I have worked with various organizations throughout Monterey County, where I received training in animal behavior and boarding. Over the past five years, I’ve gained valuable experience creating daily routines that help animals feel comfortable and cared for. I am currently a volunteer at the SPCA clinic as a vet assistant, and help at the cat and dog adoption center. I have also worked at a local veterinary clinic and am now a full-time Rover sitter! I am CPR certified and comfortable administering both oral medications and injections. During my time on Rover, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful pets and building great relationships with both them and their owners. I love sending daily photos and updates so pet parents can feel at ease while they’re away. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—I’m always happy to help. Thank you! :) P.S. My pup Tommy does not accompany me to visits or house sittings, so no worries if your pet prefers to be the only animal in the home. :)

Sonia was great with our home and our animals. She communicated regularly and our anxious dog loved her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
