new puppy looking for play dates

Pet care experience

Our beloved dog Baxter, mentioned in many reviews, passed away from cancer. Now we have a new puppy named Rex! Luckily he loves playing with other dogs and playing host. We also have a baby so can only watch dogs that are baby-friendly. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to be at home a lot. Every morning, we all go for a walk in the park. I have been trained as a sitter for seeing eye dogs in training through Guiding Eyes for the Blind and use the same Relationship-Based training techniques I learned there. I have also fostered rescue dogs for Brooklyn Badass Animal Rescue, where I adopted Baxter from. I've had a great experience using sites like this and had used it many times when I have to travel for work so if I'm not available when you need someone I am happy to recommend great sitters I've had good experiences with.

We just moved to the neighborhood, and we're SO glad that we found Sonya to watch our dog, Montie, for the weekend. She was great, from the meet and greet beforehand to arranging the pickup and dropoff. She was very responsive, and I felt 100% comfortable leaving Montie in her care. You can tell she really loves dogs. I really appreciated how she kept us up-to-date throughout the weekend with photos and texts. We'll definitely book Sonya again!

Sonya & Baxter were terrific! Our puppy was well taken care while we were away. We were also happy to receive daily photos and updates during her stay. Will definitely use Sonya again.

She was super friendly and sent loads of pictures. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my pet alone than with Sonya.

Information Sonya R. would like to know about your pet

Every dog has quirks, just let me know what they are when you drop off so I know what to look out for, if shoes need to be put away, what things help make them feel safe or stressed, etc.

A typical day

I like to go on runs and to hang at the small dog-run near fort Hamilton parkway or to prospect park every day. We have lots of dog toys and bones around.
