Safety, trust & environment

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/owners comfort level is and what they are wanting, 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.

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 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 over 10 years now and have loved every second of it. While living in Bellingham, I volunteered for 3 years at a local rescue where I ended up adopting my own dog named mason. Volunteering at this rescue not only helped me meet my best friend but also taught me so much more about dogs than I ever knew before. Being around animals is truly one of my favorite things. 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 did an amazing job looking after our cat. We got daily updates and photos, and of course most importantly we came home to a very happy and healthy pet. Can’t recommend Sonja enough!

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.
