We love all pets like our own
Pet care experience
We provide care in our home and treat your babies like our own. We walk them multiple times a day, love on them, take them on field trips when possible, we spoil them rotten. We can help with crate training, potty training, house Manners etc. We have experience with Senior dogs ( most recent passed this December 2024 at 15 years old). I have had diabetic pets so am willing to administer meds as required. I have volunteered with a local rescue for 4 years now and have fostered for that long as well and have experience dealing with many difficult behaviors like resource guarding, counter surfing and more.
Cat care experience
Sonja & Phil also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Sonja & Phil did an excellent job dog sitting Bre. They kept me informed of her well-being throughout the day. They provided pictures on every walk and before bedtime. They provided excellent care on short notice over a holiday weekend. I recommend them to everyone
Great communication. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for taking great care of our pup!
Sonja & Phil did an amazing job watching my girl! When I dropped her off she didn’t even look back at me to say bye and when I picked her up she didn’t seem to want to leave! Sonja & Phil clearly care and love your pups the same way they are at home. Would absolutely recommend!
Sonja & Phil are excellent! My dog really enjoys going to their home. They are very professional.

Safety, trust & environment
We only take one or two clients at a time as we have a small home but we take the dogs out on walks (Distance depends on the dogs need but could be 2 to 3 miles easily) and I have access to a big fenced in yard that my family owns should dogs need off leash time and play time (under our watch at all times of course). We do crate dogs when home alone for their safety and to protect the house but they get yummy kongs with frozen treats and other treats as long as owner is ok with it. We love on them how the pups want to be loved on. If they want to lay next to us we let them. If they prefer to just chill off to the side that's all good too. We also follow all owners instructions whether in our home or yours and give your baby the attention they need to keep them happy and safe while you are gone.
Home
Information Sonja & Phil K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special instructions or special needs that your pet has prior to services so that we can be prepared and ready to take care of your baby and meet their needs. I also need to know if they are kid friendly or not as that will also determine how I have them set up in my house and what precautions need to be taken for everyone's safety
A typical day
I love to go on adventures with dogs and taking them on long walks or hikes to get their energy out. My kids are dog savvy and will make sure they are socialized and loved on. I give yummy frozen kongs to keep them mentally stimulated if I need to go out. We give lots of belly rubs and pets.

Availability
Here at Bark n Kuddles we are a husband and Wife team so our dogs are very rarely alone. I teach high school so during the school day my husband takes the pups on walks, and outings and provides play time and snuggle time. When I am home we share the responsibilities and our kids are trained so they love on your babies too but they know boundaries and are very good at being mini pack leaders. The only time your pet would be alone is if we had to go somewhere as a family where dogs could not come but we have two pups of our own to keep them company but again that is rare that someone is not home.
