❤️🐶🐱❤️

Hello all, My name is Sonja I am 40 years old and live in Cape Coral, Florida with my husband (41) and our son (9). We are originally from Germany but have been living in the US for 6 years now. We all love animals more than anything! And have always had them too. I grew up with dogs and cats and that is how we raised our son. With a big heart for animals ❤️ To us belong a chihuahua dachshund mix male, his name is Sky. He is very peaceful to other mates. We got him from the shelter in Florida so we don't know his exact age, has been living with us for 6 years now. We think he should be around 9 years old. We also have a chihuahua jack russel mix lady living with us. Her name is Oreo. She can be a little bit stinky but as it is with the little ones, they have a big mouth. :) She is also from the shelter in Florida and lives now for 4 years with us. Since September 2022 there is also a cat lady living with us. Her name is Virginia. She is from the shelter in North Carolina. And she’s 2 years old. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. And excuse my English, it's still not good after all this time! But I try to learn more and more. :)

Sonja offers a great pet friendly home…she has a very clam and caring approach which my dog needed. My dog had so much fun with their dogs she didn’t want to leave. Thank You!!

Dog Walking • Feb 12, 2025

I am vacationing @ FL. Sonja has been walking our boy several times a week. She is very reponsive, prompt and sends great pictures of their walks. I highly recommend her! 🐾

SONJA was absolutely amazing. We were so worried since this was our first time leaving our babyboy Milo and she made us feel so comfortable.Her family is wonderful and they all chip in to help. Milo loves attention and he got plenty of it at Sonja's house. She always answered our texts immediately and provided daily pictures of our fur baby. We will definitely use Sonja again and highly recommend her.

Sonja was absolutely amazing. We were so worried since this was our first time leaving our baby boy Milo, and she made us feel so comfortable.Her family is wonderful and they all chip in to help. Milo loves attention and he got plenty of it at Sonja's house and backyard. She always answered our texts immediately and sent pictures and a little movie of our fur baby. We will and have already booked Sonja again and highly recommend her.

Schedule

Since I am at home all day, I have enough time to take care of the animals and of course to go out regularly. Our son is in school from 9am-3.30pm. During this time I have the most intensive time for all the animals.

Let me know if you’re dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for smaller dogs but I can also work with larger breeds.
