Sonja was so nice during our meet-and-greet, and we felt so comfortable and confident hiring her to sit with our older, anxious dog. Unfortunately, I had to cancel due to illness--but look forward to working with Sonja in the future. Sonja is a great communicator.

Sonja did such a great job pet sitting our pretty spoiled/needy pets! She continually kept us updated on how they were doing during our 5-day trip. We came home to happy and healthy pets! Would recommend Sonja to any of my family and friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats at there homes. I always check to make sure they have fresh water and food as well as give them attention and let them out side to use the bathroom or clean litter boxes as necessary.

I normally bring them for walks and play with them. I love to play with dogs and cats and make sure they get their needed exercise.
