Will treat your pup like my own
Pet care experience
Hello, I am a responsible, early 40’s professional and I lost my beloved dog of 11.5 years in late 2017. :( I'd considered petsitting on Rover when Rocco was around but since he is gone, I still have a dog void in my life. I've watched my sister's dog as well as the dogs of coworkers and a friend who currently lives in my building. I have a roster of Rover clients who are like family at this point. 😊 I fill the dog void by walking, petting, playing, and caring for your pets while you're away. I like to go for walks, I give great belly rubs and ear scratches, I will go to the dog park if that is what your pup enjoys, and I will make sure that he or she gets the best attention and care while staying with me. I will make sure that your dog is taken care of like he or she is my own. <3
Reviews
Sonya stayed at our place two times already. The first one when I was at the hospital having my first baby and the second while we went on a two-week trip abroad. Both times she was absolutely lovely. She sent us pictures of Pancakes (our dog), cuddled with her, went on several walks and left our house super organized. I have only good things to say.
Thanks for taking good care of our fur kids and home. We appreciated receiving daily updates and photos. We had a relaxing time away knowing all was well cared for while we were gone. We will absolutely ask Sonja to house/pet-sit for us again.
Sonya was fabulous! She was very easy to communicate with, sent regular updates and took great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.
Sonya was amazing! Jamie fell in love with her instantly. He seemed comfortable and happy with her. She was also very accommodating of last-minute scheduling changes and just an overall lovely person. Will definitely be using her again. 1000% recommend.

I live alone and whether your pet is at my house or I’m house sitting them in your home, I make sure that he or she is always supervised when I’m there. I close off spaces when I have to leave and put away anything that I don’t want the dog to get into. I don’t smoke. I’m okay to have animals on some furniture and my place gets great sunlight for snoozing in the sunshine.
Information Sonya S. would like to know about your pet
I have the most experience with small to medium size dogs but welcome dogs of all sizes. :) I like to be given detailed instructions on the dog's schedule, temperament, and friendliness between booking and before drop-off. I want the dog's stay to be as comfortable as possible for him or her and keeping them to their regular schedule is the best way.
A typical day
I enjoy nice walks in the neighborhood and along any trail. I always enjoyed playing with squeaky toys, tossing the ball, or playing tug of war with the rope with my dog, inside or outside!

I work from home for a tour operator and teach yoga virtually so I am home all day! I do leave the house for regular walks daily so I’d be happy to add a dog to those walks.
