Pet care experience
I have always had animals in my life, ever since I was in diapers, I am no stranger to the animal world. Ranging from dogs to cats and even the unusual pets of sort such as reptiles and insects, I welcome all creatures furry, scaly and slimy- anything that isn't a human. I currently work as an overnight caretaker at a doggie daycare and boarding facility and have been with the company since August 2022 but unfortunately business has been slow so I am offering my services onto Rover. I am grateful for my current job because it has given me more knowledge about dogs, such as personalities, behaviors, and even new experience with breeds. I used to volunteer at a shelter for three years when I was in high school, and I also used to help at the Whitwood Petsmart with their in-store cat rescue. My experience, love, and care with animals goes above and beyond from owning many dogs in my life, fostering guinea pigs and kittens, saving spiders from the deadly shoe, to taking care of baby birds that have fallen from the nest- I've never turned any creature away and I crave more knowledge about animals, even for ones I haven't owned yet. I have taken care friends and family's pets while they are away on vacation and people who know me always contact me the second they come across an animal in their daily life. My friends tell me that Steve Irwin would be proud of the animal lover I am and I think so too.
Reviews
Sonya has been our go to pet sitter for years. She loves dogs and is very intuitive about their needs. She’s slept here and taken care of our home and our two dogs, tortoise and fish. She always walked them and fed them with their usual routine. The dogs love her and are always well taken care of. She has experience with just about every type of pet too. I highly recommend Sonya to care for any pets!
I highly recommend Sonya as a pet caregiver. She has house-sit for my family and has taken care of my cat while on vacation. She took the time to not only provide basic caregiving to my cat, but spent the time to actually play with my cat and would always send me pictures. I’ve known Sonya for many years, she loves all animals and has owned plenty herself. I’ve witnessed her care for the animals on many occasions and I would completely trust her to care for my pets anytime.
Sonya loves animals very much. She is very good and attentive while watching them. Makes sure animal eats, gets meds if needed, play time, walks etc. Her priority is the animal while under her care nothing else. She has several years of dealing with various different breeds.

I will treat your baby like my own and will do anything and everything to make sure they are comfortable in my care before you reunite with them. I take my time understanding your pet's personality and routine because all animals are different and unique in their own ways. I will take many photos and videos of them for you while you are away, even if you don't ask because who doesn't love photos of their pets? You will always receive messages as well just in case I have any questions or concerns about them while you are away.

Availability
I currently have a fulltime job at a doggie daycare and boarding facility as an overnight caretaker, working Saturday through Tuesday from 9:30 PM to 7:30 AM. If I am needed to stay at your home I will be able to on my days off which are Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays but if I need to stop by your home to check in with your fur baby, whether it is for potty time, walkies, a snuggle session, and feedings, just anything of the sort then I will go check on them for however long I need to.
