Information Sónia S. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure you make me aware of any behavioural issues your pet might have, reactive? Not great recall? Pulls on lead? etc, I won’t turn you down but would prefer to understand if there’s anything I need to be aware of 🙃

I love walks as much as the dogs ahah, such a nice way to unwind. I’ll provide 2/3 walks daily, fun games back at home, access to outdoors as needed. Some days of the week we could also sneak out for a beach walk 🥰

Pet care experience

I grew up with pets and own 2 golden retrievers who I adore! they’re the most friendly dogs I have ever met in my life, I wfh and have the flexibility for play time, toilet breaks, multiple walks a day and have lots of love to give. I’m an easy going person and very honest. I understand the struggles of not being able to go on holiday or not trust someone to have my pet, or kennels not accepting not neutered/unspayed/in season pets as as such I am here to make a difference, regardless. Happy to have you check my home and garden, and meet in public too ☺️

Sónia is absolutely amazing! She looks after our very excitable 2 year old golden retriever who is a bit of a handful; and her level of knowledge, care, professionalism and dedication is without question the best we have ever experienced and quite simply could ever hope for. Like us, Sónia sees her dogs as a central part of her family, and when she looks after our pup, she welcomes him into her home and treats him as part of her family and provides him with the best care imaginable. Whether it is for puppy daycare, or for extended visits, it can be hard to part with your pet, but leaving our pup with Sónia makes everything better as he is loved and cared for every bit as much with her as he is at home. We are truly grateful to have found Sónia, and would recommend her to friends and family alike.

I can’t thank Sónia enough for the incredible care she gave my dog, Lucky, over the past four days. From the moment he arrived, she and her family treated him like one of their own — with love, patience, and genuine attention. She kept me updated every day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Lucky felt completely at home with her and her lovely dog Izzy. The two of them got along so well, and it was heartwarming to see how gentle and welcoming Izzy was with Lucky. What touched me most was how involved her child was in looking after Lucky. He wasn’t just a guest — they embraced him like their own pet. Lucky bonded so quickly with them, always wanting to be close, whether it was playtime, cuddles, or just following them around the house. The way they connected was something truly special, and I know he’s going to miss them a lot. Sónia went above and beyond — from fun walks and play sessions to thoughtful care and even a Sunday chicken dinner, which Lucky absolutely devoured! She noticed every little detail, made sure he was comfortable, and cared for him with so much heart. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person and family to look after him. Thank you so much, Sónia — you and your family are truly amazing, and Lucky was lucky to have you.
