Genuine & Experienced Care
Pet care experience
My name is Sonya, a Kiwi lass, living on Kauai since Feb 2018. What can I say? - To be able to care for your 4 paws is where it's at for me. I relish spending time with (all) animals. Taking dogs on adventures, outings fast paced, or relaxed - to see them happy, energy spent, tails wagging, among nature; to feel their anxiety of being away from owners > turn into carefree, content, relaxed and safe. I can happily sit with 4 paws for hours, peaceful in their presence, attentive to their needs, moods and routine. I have experience with rescue pets, street dogs, senior 4 paws , traveling with dogs, am familiar with dog training techniques, and health/diet/safety. My experience also includes care for cats, horses and birds. At home in NZ, my sister has a PawShake profile, of which my family are active, daily participants. I have a reliable vehicle, and a flexible daily schedule. Thank you for your time and I hope I get to be meeting you and your paws soon! Sonya PS: Please feel free to peruse my photo gallery CAT OWNERS - please know that my cat care rate is entirely flexible depending on the needs of your cat/s. If you have an inside cat that just needs company and feeding > then that rate will be lower than an adventurous mountain lion (an inside/outside cat):: one that climbs trees and chases possums who I have to ensure gets in at night etc = higher rate. Rover does not have a “box” where I can tick to reflect my FLEXIBILITY with Cat rates. Purr!
Reviews
We have used Sonya several times when we have to travel and she is fantastic for drop in visits. She is very thorough and sends lots of photos . We know our dog and cat are in very good hands when Sonya comes to visit. I highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.
Thank you Sonya! Sonya took excellent care of my german shepherd by arriving on time, and walking/training him for 5 days straight, 1 hour each day. Sonya was not worried about the energy-level of my young, large, 82 lb. dog, and even helped him to work on his people skills during walks. She fed our cats and bunnies as well, just because she knew I was on vacation and that they probably needed the care.
Another excellent experience with Sonya for my dog Callum. She keeps him engaged and active so that he's not depressed about missing his master. She is very good at keeping the dog's attention.
I wish I could give Sonya 10 stars! She was fabulous with our dog and cat when we travelled. She was very thorough in detailing her visits, with lots of photos and excellent communication. We knew our dog and cat were in excellent hands with Sonya and her many photos showed us our happy pets. She was on time for the drop in visits, our dog and cat were excited to see her, she gave them both lots of love and attention, and followed their routine to a T. We recently moved to the area and feel so fortunate we found Sonya to care for our pets. We will definitely book her for any future trips we have.
