Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, loving dog-mom
I have adopted, trained, raised and loved 2 dogs from puppies to adulthood in NYC (25 yrs total). Dogs are special creatures, and I love connecting with them and caring for them. I also know how challenging it is finding a trusted, detail-oriented, loving sitter! I will love and care for your dog like my own and will be attentive to all your pup’s particular needs and personality.

Ratings and reviews
Sonya took wonderful care of Bear and checked in regularly, asking questions about his eating habits to ensure he received optimal care. 10/10 would recommend and will certainly trust her with caring for Bear again.
Sonya was great with Ruby and Ruby loved playing with her and her dog Wallace. Sonya sent great pics and videos and was communicative and flexible about meeting place and times. We will be booking with her again soon!
Sonya was an amazing sitter for Cozy! She was incredibly accommodating to Cozy’s needs and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. Sonya provided detailed updates that gave me real peace of mind, and communication was always prompt and thoughtful. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, which made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely book with Sonya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Sonya was wonderful! Frequent communication, close attention to Mila's needs and schedule, and very flexible. Mila seemed right at home immediately and would love to come and visit her and Wallace again!
Sonya and I bonded over our dogs (and dog walks) 16 years ago. She is a conscientious, attentive, and loving dog owner, with a calm-yet-upbeat vibe. She really SEES the dogs in her care, and they reflect that back at her as happy, relaxed pets. Sonya is 100% responsible and dependable—I wouldn't hesitate for a second to leave any of my pets, dog or cat, under her care for any amount of time.
Sonya is the most caring dog caregiver I know. She's gentle and loving and can also be lovingly firm when needed. She connects with dogs in a very special way and can sense their moods and needs. She's attentive, responsive, calm under pressure, and can go with the flow. I have entrusted our family dog to Sonya's care multiple times over the years and never ever worry while we're away. Sonya is truly the best.

Currently I work from home and will be with your dog full-time for walks and play, except for 1-2 hrs to go to the store or the gym nearby.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an 12-lb sweet, mellow dachshund-terrier, 12 yrs old. We are happy to meet n greet to make sure the dogs get along. We’ll walk 2-3x daily, and your dog will get lots of love & attention. Happy to snuggle your dog on the couch or play with them and their favorite toys. The dogs can sleep in the bedroom in a dog bed or on a small sofa.
Pets
A typical day
I live near tree-lined blocks and a park, and I know how much a good long walk can do wonders for a dog's health and happiness. I also have an outdoor space for hanging out in good weather. My dog is very adaptable so we can adjust to your dog’s routines. I am a morning person so will likely be up and ready for your pup to start the day.
