Pet care experience

Hi! We're a mother and son team who love animals and enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I grew up with German Shepherds and a boxer, so we're no stranger to what it takes to care and be responsible for a dog. We are reliable, responsible and passionate about pets. No need to worry or have anxiety about leaving your loved ones with us. Our house has a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around. Your dog will be safe and loved in our hands. Leaving your pet(s) with someone else is very hard, and in order to ease the worrying I will contact you with updates (pictures, messages). You will be leaving your dog in trustworthy hands!

Our three dogs loved their stay with this lovely family! We got pictures, videos, and regular updates. The videos showed us how much fun our dogs were having, they loved running around the backyard and even our very shy dog made good friends! We felt assured that our dogs were well cared for while we were away on vacation, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they were safe and happy. We will book again with Sonia and her family the next time we are away, for sure!

Sonia is a great dog sitter. She has a very loving and caring disposition when it comes to dogs. I had an all white German Shepherd named Snowy who was very reserved and non-trusting when it came to strangers. When he met Sonia, he took to her right away to my surprise. I was able to leave him in her care with confidence knowing he felt comfortable with her. Needless to say when I arrived at her home two weeks later to pick up Snowy, it seemed he was a little reluctant to leave to my surprise. I asked what was her secret and she responded that a little bit of love goes a long way. I guess she was right because I never saw that kind of response from Snowy over my years of experience with using dog sitters. I have been using Sonia's services for several years now. No need to search an other dog sitter. When you finally find the best situation for your family pet, you forget the rest. I highly recommend Sonia for your dog sitting needs. You won't regret it.
