I'm currently at home full-time, so l'm able to give dogs plenty of attention and consistency throughout the day. I live on a large piece of land, which gives dogs space to explore, relax, and enjoy time outside in a safe, natural setting. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine — from feeding and enrichment to quiet time and structured training. I'm happy to follow any routines your dog is used to.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs in my care live alongside my own four — two Border Collies, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and an Alaskan Malamute. They’re all used to sharing their space, so visiting dogs are welcomed into a relaxed, structured home environment. There’s plenty of space inside the house, including quiet areas if your dog needs time to themselves. You’re very welcome to bring their crate or bed to help them settle — I’m a big believer in keeping things familiar and comfortable. I supervise all interactions closely and can separate dogs when needed, especially during mealtimes or rest periods. My home is also surrounded by a large amount of safe, secure land, giving dogs lots of opportunity for calm outdoor enrichment throughout the day. I follow any routines or instructions you provide and always prioritise each dog’s safety, wellbeing, and comfort.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Sonya — a lifelong dog lover with a large rural home, plenty of outdoor space, and lots of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities. Your dog would be cared for in a calm, home-from-home environment rather than a kennel setting. I have a large house and access to plenty of land, so there is space for dogs to relax, explore, sniff, play and settle at their own pace. I’m confident with larger breeds as well as smaller dogs, and I understand how important it is to keep each dog’s routine as familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, medication and rest schedule, and I’ll always treat them as part of the family while they’re with me. I’m also very committed to learning more about canine behaviour and welfare — from September, I’ll be studying for a degree in Animal Behaviour & Training. My aim is always to provide safe, thoughtful, individual care based on what each dog actually needs. I can provide regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and well looked after.

Sonya is fantastic! She’s looked after my German Shepherd with such care, warmth, and attention. I highly recommend her as a responsible and loving dog sitter!
