Being a writer, who prefers to work out of the home, I'm a great fit for pets who have anxiety or need people around to feel secure. I'm an ideal live-in pet sitter. Look at my wonderful references on Rover! ♥ Cat owners call me a Cat Whisperer :D

About Sonja A.

Communication

1 repeat pet parent
90% response rate
Usually responds within a few hours
50% bookings with photo updates

Skills

10 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

In my clients' homes I follow the instructions I am given by the pet owner. I also like to share updates, like pet photos/video with owner(s) so they feel connected while away from their fur baby ♥ Pet owners tell me that my photos and videos help them to relax on holiday or while they are working away.

Information Sonja A. would like to know about your pet

I need to know feeding, watering, and cleaning and pee/poop schedule, plus with dogs the walking route, favorite park, best walk times, and what kind commands your pet knows. Also anything special about your pet like they don't like to be touched by strangers, or they don't like busy roads, or they get nervous during a storm, those sort of notes are very helpful for me to provide the best animal care.

A typical day

I believe it is important to take direction from pet owners - they know best to suggest the walking route, favourite park, best walk times, and what kind of games and commands are best suited for their pet - for me this is the best and consistent approach for pets when the pet-parent is away :)

Pet care experience

Looking for Pet Sits in Montreal this Summer! About Me: pet owners keep saying that I "go above and beyond" their expectations. Maybe it helps that I'm a writer who likes to work from home, so housepets have day & night company and attention from me. I pay attention to detail, so your furry friend(s) will be well cared for and monitored with love. On average, the shortest sit is just over a week, often 2 weeks, and longer pet sits have been up to 2 months. Feel free to message me even if you see my schedule is busy. Most often my pet owner clients are away on long trips or away for work. I mostly do live-in pet sitting, I will do drop in visits if close to my homebase in The Plateau.

We had a great experience with Sonja watching our dog Churro. She was super attentive and friendly right from the start, and Churro had a blast with her. Highly recommend!

Sonja took excellent care of our Tahaa. We received regular updates and plenty of photos. Sonja looked after our cat at our home for two weeks, and everything went very well. The apartment was exactly as we had left it.

Sonja was amazing! She took great care of our boys and our home, and was super communicative throughout. It was our first time using an overnight Rover, and she put our minds at ease :') would highly recommend!!

If you are looking for a pet sitter extraordinaire, Sonya is your answer! She is wonderful with your animals. Your pets may be disappointed that you have returned. Lol. She is also very fastidious with your place and leaves it cleaner than when she arrived. Sonja is highly recommended.

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.
