Sonya was wonderful and incredibly caring with my three Pomeranians. She kept me updated with regular communication and took exceptional care of my dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.

We are happy to have found Sonya on Rober. Our dog was immediately comfortable and that is rare. She took great care of her, sent messages on how she was doing and pictures. Sonya took a lot of stress away with her relaxed atmosphere and warm greeting. I cannot express the gratitude as she has given us a safe place for our dog to stay while we are put exploring this area.

Sonya was a great sitter for Copley! She sent us lots of updates including photos, generously picked him up at a more central location for us, and was flexible as our travel times got shifted. We will absolutely call Sonya again when we are in the area.

As always, my small, older dog feels like he is at his second home when he stays with Sonya.

My experience with Sonya was wonderful. We were getting ready to leave on a trip and one of our cats was feeling less than great (after consuming an very unappetizing mouse) Rather than having them stay at home (they are outdoor cats), I made a Rover booking with Sonya the day before we were scheduled to fly out. She was amazing and gave us updates all along the way. So, instead of being away and worried, I knew both cats had Sonya to provide some love and TLC. I will absolutely be using her services again when we travel.

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog, 1 cat
No children present

Safety, trust & environment

Caring, compassionate companionship, walks, snuggles, (or dignified "space", if they prefer!), and the little old but playful lady dog who live here as a playmate. All animals in our home will be like family. If your pet is a little shy of my dog or cat, there is plenty of space in the house for everyone to take their time to warm up to one another. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Pets

A typical day

Walks, even in the drizzle or snow; chewy toys by the wood stove, bring brushed, rinse and repeat! Warning: Your pet will be spoiled here, but we also will respect your rules and preferences!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
SONYA can host up to 4 pets per night
Please let me know about specific needs, any aggressive or reactive behaviors, what their "love language" is, any allergies you've seen, and anything that could make them feel more settled and at home. Dogs over 40 pounds are welcome, as long as they are extremely well-behaved both on leash and at home!
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.
