Pet care experience

Hello and welcome to my Rover profile! A little about me, I’m a female college graduate and recently lost my corporate job in healthcare due to the pandemic. After years of caring for my friends and family’s pets, I decided to expand my pool of clients. After seeing how well I care for other’s people’s pets, a friend of mine introduced me to Rover. I am a loving, caring, and super fun dog sitter, and I give each pet the special attention they need. Moreover I have so much fun doing it. I also really enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and will help them work on their current training needs. My style is one of “pawsitive” reinforcement, as I want each dog to feels safe and loved. My experience includes helping raise a brand new puppy, senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and administering medication. I have cared for big and energetic dogs, such as labs, and smaller dogs such as Boston Terriers and Chihuahuas, and of course the rescue mixed breed dog as well. I will cater my care to each dogs needs and the owner’s preferences. If your pup likes to swim, I will take him/her swimming. If you doggy’s walking ability is compromised, I will walk him/her in a buggy if that’s what you prefer. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly and has plenty of places to go potty. It includes a pet spa, so I am happy to rinse your dog off if he/she gets dirty. I will also brush your fur baby if you provide their favorite brush. I prefer to take longer walks at a park or the beach where there is more room to roam. I hope you will give me try, and I look forward to meeting your fur babies. Much love xoxo

I have know Sonja for over 25 years. She has cared for my Boston Terriers and Chihuahua for 15 of them. Whenever I have traveled for work or gone on vacation she has stayed in my home with my little ones. Not only does she love, play and snuggle with them but she helps medicate my old chihuhua. She's great for not only walking your pups but also a great overnight babysitter when your concerned about leaving for a trip. She is loving, kind and compassionate with animals and a very honest and trustworthy person to care for your pets.

Sonja is an animal lover at heart! She is a natural when it comes to caring for my dog, Chloe. Instant bonding! Their love connection allows me to feel such relief and security knowing she will be in good hands! Sonja is very amenable and responsible. She goes the extra mile to play with my dog and it shows... a happy reunion...time and time again! Sonja is pawwwwfect!
