Availability

I work and live with animals so I am comfortable with all dogs and cats. I am available to house-sit overnight if needed and will cater to your pets needs. Depending on the dog I know some require more physical activity than others. I am willing to work around the animals needs and make sure they’re content until their parents are back. My own babies are seniors now so I understand the level of care needed for those cases.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Both dogs are seniors and require a bit more attention and care such as medication and food monitoring. My one baby is terrified of storms so I treat her with the upmost care when that happens. The cats Harry and Hermione are as always, self sufficient besides requiring constant love and attention.

Information Sonya B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs any specific medication or food ahead of time. I can administer oral medication but do not accept any needles. Also, I only accept house sitting bookings up to 30 minutes away from Wayne NJ. For dog walking I would prefer no longer than a 15 minute drive.

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs as well as make sure their brains are stimulated. Physical exercise for dogs is important but I know that many people forget that they need mental exercise too. Enrichment is important for a dogs well being so I try to provide endless entertainment whether it be just chit chatting with them, playing, watching a show together, or giving them puzzles.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a lover of animals for my whole life. I’ve taken care of not only my family pets, (dogs, cats, Guinea pig, hamsters, fish), but also was a pet sitter for other peoples pets. I understand the love of your animals can rival the love for children and I would treat your pups as if they were my own.

My partner and I were so worried about leaving our dog alone for the night as we headed for our wedding. It would be the first time our little guy wasn’t with us. Sonya was very professional and extremely caring when it came to watching our 9 month old pup! She was very detailed and kept updating us throughout her stay. She followed our instructions to a T and everything was wonderful! If I ever need someone to watch our pup again, I’m going straight to Sonya! She was just a joy to work with! 10 out of 10!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
