I work remotely from home so am flexible in what I can offer. I feed my own pets multiple times a day and am able to monitor what is consumed. I also live in a beautiful community near parks for nice walks.

About Sonya G.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who live next door who are always interested in playdates if desired. I work remotely so have flexibility in what I can offer clients. I do have a crate on premises if you do not have although I prefer (as do pets) for them to have their familiar one! There are friendly cats who live with me although I would likely gate off my kitchen / sunroom area where my office is so that I can supervise and ensure harmony with unknown pet if in my home.
Home
Information Sonya G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I need to prepare or account for during the engagement. Also, please ensure that I know where their leash, treats, toys and food (if appropriate) is located to ensure optimal time is spent with pet vs looking for items.
A typical day
I love walking dogs in my care around my beautiful neighborhood and to one of Walkersville's big parks that is within walking distance. I have a fenced in backyard and live next door to two other friendly dogs that love to play if that is pre-approved with my customer. I usually will check and trim nails if pet is in need; again with pre-approval from client. Of course, with drop ins or dog walking engagements, I am walking the dogs (assuming that the dog likes to go for walks) and working on their skills.

Pet care experience
I have over 45 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as many other types of animals that have honored me with living with me over the years (cats, horses, gecko, Madagascar hissing cockroach, parrots, flying squirrel, rabbits). My original dream was to become a vet so I have a background interning with veterinarian, working multiple years in a grooming and boarding facility and had my own very successful animal care and sitting business as a teenager. I have great nail trimming skills as well! Animals are naturally drawn to me and sense my love and respect for them. I work remotely so am pretty flexible with schedules. I also have taken the pet CPR course!

Sonya is amazing with all animals. She managed to win over my stranger shy beagles in a matter of seconds. She is responsible and organized and truly cares about animals. Sonya has been a tremendous help with my horses. I highly recommend Sonya for any of your pet or horse care needs.
I have known her over 30 years - she is always my go to for taking care of my dog Evie. She has extensive experiences with all animals, dogs, cats, horses and even birds - cockatiels and parrot - and knows just what to sayor do.
