Pet care experience

Pet/House Sitter!

Hello! I have had experience pet and dog sitting since I was 15. I have taken care of animals ranging from pigeons to bunnies to dogs and cats to horses. I have experience with old and young, as well as experience with animals needing medication. I personally have three cats and a XL dog, so I am comfortable with any size critter. As a note: I work in schools and will not be able to accept requests past August 20

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will not be available to bring them to my home, as we have a pretty crazy house with extra critters, however I am able to stay in my clients' homes. I can easily adjust to your pet's daily schedule — whether that be daily walks, medication, or scheduled meals. Staying in your home, I am also able to do things such as collect mail, water plants, and just care for your home as well as your pet.

Sonja was, once again, great with Dexter. She sent updates regularly and was very flexible with our friends stopping by. Thank you again!

Sonja was great! She took care of Dexter and sent updates. She took care of the house and was very easy to work with.

Sonja stayed in our home and sat for our cat and dog for 3 nights/4 days. We are so thankful to have found her. We have a 5 lb dog who is pretty helpless (can’t go up and down stairs, can’t jump up into a bed) and incredibly fragile, so it made us really nervous to leave her with just anyone. However, upon first meeting, my dog let Sonja pick her up instantly, which she normally never lets strangers pick her up. Sonja is a kind and gentle soul, so it’s very easy to trust that she was going to treat our pets and home with care. Our pup was very happy to see us when we got home, and we could tell by how happy she was that we left her in good hands. Now that found Sonja, we can finally start traveling again!

Sonja was very friendly and active in caring for rocky. She hung out with him most the day and played with him. He was soooo happy to have her. We would recommend and use her again :)
