3 dog mom with ❤️ for ALL animals
Pet care experience
From as early as I can remember, I’ve felt a special connection to animals. I grew up with dogs and cats, fish, and small furries. Since elementary school, I’ve taken care of countless pets of friends, family, and neighbors, in addition to my own furry companions. I currently am a mom to three rescued dogs and have much experience with timid, anxious dogs. I work in the field of pet nutrition and have a passion for clean, sustainable, biologically appropriate, holistic nutrition. I see animal companions as so much more than pets, but individuals. And truly just as much family as any human. I’m on Rover to supplement my income and raise funds towards realizing my dream of operating an animal sanctuary. I want to provide love and shelter for animal friends of all sorts, from dogs, to turkeys, to cows. You can rest assured that I will give your pet the best, most loving care possible. **I’m currently only providing services in Doylestown borough.**
Reviews
I would highly recommend Sonja to care for your pet!
Sonya did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 Pugs. She stopped by to meet my dogs ahead of time so they would be familiar with her and sent several cute pictures during her visits. I would highly recommend her services.
Sonya was a great petsitter! Our pet care plans fell through last minute and she was able to squeeze us in. She was super knowledgeable about having our pups meet for the first time and I think it really smoothed the process! She also sent plenty of pictures throughout the day which made us less nervous about leaving our pup. All in all, if we are in the area again, we would love to use Sonya again!
Sonya does an excellent job! Not only is she great with my crazy pup, her background in animal nutrition has been an invaluable resource as I am working to improve my dogs diet. I appreciate her availability and wonderful care!

**PLEASE NOTE: I will not lock dogs or cats in a cage/crate. I believe this is inhumane, and it conflicts with my values. Thank you for your understanding.**
Information Sonya S. would like to know about your pet
Any past history of aggression or behavioral “quirks”. If I can give them treats and if so, any food allergies/sensitivities. If I’ll be feeding them, how much? If you have a preferred or recommended route for our walk together. If you have any additional requests, ie. check mail, feed cat, water plant, etc. No breed preferences, but I’m most well versed with small to large size dogs, moderate activity level, and many with especially shy dispositions ❤️.
A typical day
Walks around the neighborhood to grassy areas to stretch our legs, stop to smell the roses, and say hello to other critters we encounter. There will be lots of pats, hugs, healthy treats, and belly rubs!

Availability
My schedule is very flexible! During the week, I work from home, and I’m home most weekends. I travel on occasion, but always make it a point to give my clients advance notice to prepare.
