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.
