animal lover w/ lots of experience

Pet care experience

I’ve had an immense love and passion for animals since I was a kid. My whole life I’ve had a variety of family pets, everything from dogs and cats to to lizards and hamsters. I’ve grown up walking and caring for dogs for my neighbors of a variety of breeds such as labs, pit bulls, chihuahuas, and standard poodles. I’ve been dog walking for about 8 years now and I have experience with both small and big dogs, easy going and more aggressive dogs, hyper and calm dogs, ect. I also have about 5 year experience caring for cats. (not including my own family cats which Ive had my whole life) I recently adopted my very own dog, Mason! He is a chihuahua terrier mix and I love him with my entire heart. He has taught me so much already in the months i’ve had him. Being around animals is truly one of my favorite things. The amount of joy it brings me is indescribable. It is always a pleasure to care for your animals and I thank you in advance for considering hiring me to be that person. Please reach out with any comments or questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible (no later than a day).

Sonja took excellent care of my cat and she was very communicative whenever she had questions. Would absolutely recommend her!

sonja was the perfect fit for my kitty boys, and gave lots of detailed updates and pictures which helps so much with the anxiety of being away from them!

My sweet baby was in good hands with Sonja. Got plenty of pictures and a detailed rundown of everything they did together. Would absolutely book again 10/10

I truly look forward to meeting and hanging out with each and every animal I take care of. I love being able to develop my own special relationship with them depending on their needs and interests. It’s always so nice meeting new animal friends and getting to learn about them and their likes/dislikes, quirks, and personality.

Information Sonja H. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time I would like to get to know some things about your pet! For example, (for dogs) do they get along with other dogs? Are they friendly with children? Are they friendly with people? Are they more shy or outgoing? Are there any special needs? Are they low or high energy? And anything else that would help me to make your animal the most happy and comfortable I possibly can.

A typical day

I love exploring and adventuring with the dogs I am watching. Depending on what the dogs comfort level is and what they enjoy most, we can spend the day at a park with a big grassy field to run around, we can go on a trail hike in a secluded spot, we can hang out in the backyard, or we could just do a simple neighborhood walk.
