Safety, trust & environment

I am keen on understanding a pets needs and am a big believer in the idea that animals need the same energy and care that we give to each other, so your pets will certainly feel like royalty!

Information Sonja C. would like to know about your pet

I would always like to know the size and breed of the dog so I know what I'm working with! If any medications or special instructions need administering, please let me know ahead of time so I can prepare/do any necessary research.

A typical day

I love going on park walks with my dog friends! I always let them stop and sniff anything they find interest in--but never eat of course! I'll always go at the pets pace; for senior dogs, we can stop and smell the roses, but for a young pal we might need a fast pace and that's okay with me! I will always provide nurturing and play for kitty friends when they are looking for it! I know that it is crucial to stay engaged and curious with cats of all ages.

Sonja did a great job! The pets were well cared for and she left the house in perfect shape. So nice to come home to a clean house with happy pets! She also gave us regular updates and photos so we knew everything was going well the whole time. We will definitely ask Sonja to help us out again!

Sonja was great while watching my pug. I received lots of updates and felt like Lulu and my house were taken care of. Sonja will watch Lulu again in a few weeks.
