Pet care experience

I have over 30 years of experience!

I have taken care of various types of dogs, for friends family and my own pets. I love every aspect of an animal and meeting their needs! I am retired, my 4 children are off to college and I have all the time in the world to love your little fur baby! I live in a two-story home with a fence, I have a 25 pound golden doodle that gets a long well with other dogs and would definitely enjoy the company!

Sonja and her son Cody were such a blessing! We wanted to take our 17-year-old dog Snowflake on our trip, but dogs weren’t allowed at the house. We wanted to keep her close by, and luckily Sonja was less than 5 minutes away. Our elderly girl requires a lot of love and care, and Sonja and Cody were so good with her. They kept in great communication and gave her so much love and attention. We really appreciate them!

Highly recommend! They were so accommodating with my last minute plans and took amazing care of Yoshi. He absolutely loves them and is always so excited to see them, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for their kindness, flexibility, and excellent care. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Review for Sonja I recently used Sonja’s dog boarding services, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! Here are some highlights: - **Communication**: Sonja was incredibly responsive when booking, making the process smooth and stress-free. - **Personality**: She has such a sunny disposition! Her friendly nature immediately put both me and my dog at ease. - **Compatibility**: My dog took to her instantly, which was reassuring. It didn't hurt that her own dog is the same breed, providing a familiar playmate for my furry friend. - **Environment**: Her home is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. The fenced-in yard was a perfect, safe space for my dog to play. - **Care**: Sonja is a fantastic dog mom. She sent regular updates and pictures, showing that my dog was not just cared for but genuinely loved during his stay. - **Overall Impression**: I left my dog in her care with complete peace of mind. He was well looked after, and I would definitely use her services again. Pickup was a breeze! Thank you, Sonja, for taking such great care of my dog! You've earned a loyal customer.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 25, 2024

It’s not easy to leave your baby with a stranger. But the moment we met Sonja at a prearranged meet and greet location, she was a stranger no more. We could not have asked for a better experience. Biscuit was treated like family. Sonja sent us a collage of the highlights of Biscuit’s day with her new friends, Sonja’s own two pups and another guest. The best photo of all was Sonja and Biscuit on a pink flamingo float in her pool. Sonja is bubbly and pleasant, accommodating, and responsive. She obviously loves animals. You needn’t hesitate entrusting your precious pet(s) to her care. I only wish that she lived in Fort Myers so that Biscuit could visit with her regularly.

Sonja was wonderful with our golden doodle, Sophie. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away for the weekend. We could relax knowing she was in good hands. We definitely hope to use her again in the future.
