Therapist & Weenie Dog Momma

I have had both dogs and cats my whole life, and am a current dog mom of 2 very spoiled dachshunds. I have been a pet sitter for family and friends in the past, and have been with rover for a little over a year! I thoroughly enjoy being in the presence of our furry therapists ♥️

Drop-In Visits • Dec 29, 2025

Sonja was awesome! She was very communicative when checking on our cat Arvin and would take time to play with him and give him extra pets. We'll definitely have her watch Arvin again in the future!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 16, 2025

Sonja was wonderful with my dog, Lily. She was responsive and was able to accommodate a late request for daycare. Lily enjoyed playing with her dogs and came home tired and happy!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that all my dogs to roam freely while doing their business. On the inside, floors are kept clean to prevent any sort of unwanted snacks or choking hazards. As far as caring for pets in others homes, I am attentive to your individuals dogs needs and will make sure to gather all pertinent information on how to keep your pet safe and comfy during your time away!

Pets

A typical day

I am a big playtime advocate, and love finding different ways to stimulate the mind of our furry friends. Our neighborhood provides great walking opportunities, as well as a nearby park to play ball if your pet is allowed off leash/is appropriately socialized. At our home, we are subscribed to bark box and come with a plethora of super chewer toys for even the toughest chewers. Snack time is also a part of our agenda, and provide healthy alternatives such as frozen green beans or carrots to accommodate any weight watchers out there! Dogs are free to roam the house and relax in my office or in the living space while I work. We do live on a garden level, so if your pup is a barker (as mine can be), we are happy to lower the blinds to reduce the stress of seeing “intruders” 😂

Please let me know if there are any accommodations I should know of before caring for your pet. The more detail, the better! I want to be as supportive as I can for your puppers. Some helpful suggestions: typical routines, medical conditions, training cues, any issues with aggression with pets/humans.
