Cat & Exotic Animal Care Specialist

Pet care experience

Cats and exotics are my niche! With extensive experience fostering and rescuing animals, I'm comfortable caring for everyone from kittens to senior cats, including administering oral medications, inhalers, and insulin/injection medications for diabetic or medically-needy pets. I'm also happy to help with baths and nail clipping. I also specialize in exotic and unconventional companions: snakes, frogs, toads, reptiles, tarantulas, bugs, rats, birds, and other small mammals. Just walk me through their routine and care needs, and I'll take it from there with confidence and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs medical care, grooming, specialized handling, or just a comfortable routine while you're away, I'm here to help. 💖

Sonya has been taking care of my two cats for me over the past few years and does an excellent job. She sends regular updates, including pictures, and makes sure my boys are very well taken care of. I feel lucky to have found someone so reliable, trustworthy, and kind to look after my pets when I am away. I cannot recommend Sonya's services enough!

We have trusted Sonya to care for our two cats several times, and she has always done an exceptional job. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections, which Sonya administers with incredible care, attention, and professionalism. Before each visit, she checks in to confirm his feeding schedule, as he must be fed within a strict 12-hour window. Her diligence and attention to detail give us complete peace of mind. Sonya is, without a doubt, the most reliable and accountable pet sitter we have ever had. In fact—and this is a little embarrassing—she often leaves our home cleaner and more organized than she found it! What truly sets Sonya apart is her ability to care for a wide variety of pets, including more unique and specialized animals (yes, even snakes!). I cannot recommend Sonya highly enough. Whether you have a cat, dog, reptile, or any other beloved pet, you can trust that they will receive outstanding care, attention, and affection in her hands. ❤️🐾

Sonya is an animal lover. I’m a coworker of hers and I know she already has at least two family’s that trust her to take care of their cats and stay at their homes. She is organized, punctual, and professional. If you choose Sonya to take care of your pets you are in safe hands.
