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.

Our pup had a wonderful stay with Sonya! She enjoyed socializing with other doggy friends during her visit and she loved having an affectionate caretaker at her side. We were thrilled to receive daily updates and look forward to sending her back.

Sonya was absolutely wonderful! You can tell she loves dogs and I got regular updates to let me know how Dixie was doing. Sonya was easy-going and a fantastic communicator. She took great care of my girl!

Sonya was amazing! She is obviously a dob lover - attentive and kind, noticing the details and enjoying the work. We felt 100% confident with our dog in her care and would happily work with her again. She was communicative and easy to relate to - we are grateful!

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.
