During the school year I work at a school so I’m home in the mornings and then home every day after 4:15. During the summer months I am home all day everyday, excited to get outside and enjoy the weather at a leisurely pace.

Information Sonny S. would like to know about your pet

If they have any triggers or meds that need to be taken. We feed all of our dogs separately but it’s good to know if there are any guarding concerns around toys or food.

A typical day

We love to explore our many local parks, relax at home, and hang out in the backyard while we tend to the garden or enjoy grilling out and mealtime on our patio.

Pet care experience

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Hello my fellow animal lovers/protectors. My name is Sonny (they/them ❤️) and I'm excited to help you make sure your fuzzy kids are happy, safe and loved while you are away. I love cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and critters alike and I am committed to making their time away from you as comfortable and happy as possible. I currently have two big and squishy dogs and two cats that LOVE attention (on their terms.) I have fostered dogs from many different dog rescues including MN Paws, Save-a-Bull and SafeHands and love helping out dogs in need. I have fostered old dogs and very young puppies, big and small dogs, little fluffy pups and big strong bully breeds and I'm comfortable with them all. I have dealt with my fair share of doggy illnesses such as my old dog, Earl, having surgery on both of his back legs after tearing his ACL's when he was 1.5 years old. Walter (my other dog) has Lymes Disease and Earl had Anaplasmosis - both of which are chronic and require regular medication if/when symptoms come on. My cats have also required oral medications for urinary crystals and viral infections. I am comfortable with giving your pet any medication they need and will make it as quick and easy on them as possible. I love going for walks and would enjoy having your pup show me around their neighborhood or I can show them around mine. Let me know if you would like me to help make your pet's day great!

Sonny always does an outstanding job. We trust and appreciate Sonny’s thoroughness with assessing Charlie’s overall demeanor, checks the litter box, and always gives him cuddles. We highly recommend Sonny.

I've booked Sonny a few times now and will certainly continue to! They've shown me and my kitty a higher standard of care. I get so many thorough updates and adorable pictures, I don't even have to worry about my cat while I'm away. I know what he's up to and that he's in good hands! I'm also frequently leaving in a hurry and they're very accommodating with my schedule and needs despite that. Most importantly, I always come home to a happy, fed, & cared for kitty!

Sonny is our go to cat sitter. We’ve been using her for 5 years now. She does a great job, takes photos and tends to the litter box. Highly recommend.
