Pet care experience

Reliable & Loving Pet Care

Hi! I’m Sonya, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for rescue pets, shy personalities, and senior animals. I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and over the years I’ve fostered, volunteered at the SPCA, and been the go to pet sitter for friends and family. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and seen. Whether your pet needs cuddles, playtime, a steady routine, or a little extra patience, I’m here for it. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s quirks and comforts. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with kindness, consistency, and lots of love. Available for cats, dogs, seniors, rescues, and special routines. Happy to send updates, follow care instructions to the letter, and keep your pets happy while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet them!

Sonia & Nate we're absolutely fantastic! They took great care of our boy! We were really nervous because it was our first time leaving him with anyone and we only adopted him about 6 months ago. Sonia sent pictures, regular updates, and took our concerns seriously. He seemed genuinely safe and happy with them! Also, their dog Mauve is super sweet and makes the perfect companion for dogs who are away from home. He seemed to have a great time playing and snuggling with her! While we were traveling, we were grateful that he was in good hands and we could just be present in the moment without worrying too much about him. If we ever need to travel without him again, we will definitely be using Sonia!

Sonya was absolutely amazing! I went on an 8-day vacation, and when I booked, Sonya immediately offered a meet-and-greet. This made my pup and me feel so much better about the long stay. She sent daily updates and photos, and I never had a worry that my pup was getting love and attention. I will for sure look to book Sonya in the future.

Pilot always has the best time with Sonya and Maeve. I can tell he is treated like family when he's with them. Just the best!

This was Hilda's first time staying with a new sitter in a long while, and Sonya was absolutely phenomenal! She sent me updates on her wellbeing and activities with just the right amount of casual regularity that made me feel connected, and ultimately made me feel very comfortable that she was in good hands while I was away for my extended work trip. She clearly has a deep love and welth of experience in caring for animals. Sonya gives you the feeling that she's treating your pet with the same care and love she give her own pets, and we will happily be reaching out to her again next time we need a sitter. Could not recommend her more! Give her a try and you will not be disapponted!

I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine! I’m around throughout the day for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m flexible with timing and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home.
