Ratings and reviews
Sonia is a star sitter, were so lucky we found her while she had availability! She took such great care of our dog, sent so many adorable photos, and he looked so happy and content in all of them. So glad he got to spend time with such a kind and talented woman, and got to enjoy time with many other cute dogs. Thank you, Sonia! We'll definitely book with you again :)
Sonia obviously loves dogs. Our dog was clearly part of her family while we were away. Great communication and lots of photos. Thank you
Thank you so so much for taking care of my boys again! It made our vacation 10x more relaxing knowing they were in good hands.
Always pleasant to work with and she sends updates and pictures! My boy is excited to spend time with her and I know he is getting the best care. 😊
Sonia does a very nice job taking care of my dogs. She keeps me informed with several daily pictures so I can see they are doing fine. My dogs come home relaxed and happy.
Sonia was wonderful with our senior dog, Charlie! Sent lots of great photos and so clearly cares for the animals in her care. She’s a total pro and we will continue using Sonia as our primary dog sitter whenever she’s available!

Schedule
Typical day routine includes 3-4 doggie walks🐾🐾🐾🐾, playtimes, and games like “Find It!” with delicious home-made dog treats — thus keeping furbabies happy during their stay! 🐶🎉❤️ Now that I’m a retired licensed Architecture/Interior Designer, I’m an Area Coordinator for Norcal Collie Rescue and volunteer at the SF SPCA. Previously, I volunteered at the Marine Humane Society (MHS) in Novato, Ca teaching Beginners Puppy and Agility Training classes. (See profile photo of MHS Training Certificate).

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a gated community with medium-large courtyards for safe walks and potty breaks. 🌴🐾🐾🐾Walks/ potty breaks are customized to the dog’s needs; whether tossing a ball at an enclosed area or leisurely walking. 🐾🐕🦺🐩 🎾
