Sonja u.

Hi

My name is Sonja. I’m 56 years young, a Swiss national but I’ve always loved travelling, even with my dogs.

I grew up with lots of different animals like dogs, cats, poneys, chicken, goats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish and tortoises. In our village we were known as “the zoo”. If a wild animal was found hurt it was brought to us to take care of it. I started to breed exotic birds when I was ten years old and only stopped when I started to travel to study languages. Bird-watching still is one of my hobbies.

For the last twenty years my ex-husband and I owned a pack of several dogs (American Staffords, Pitbulls, Staffordshire Bullterrier, Belgian Malinois, Australian Cattle Dog and Miniature Pinschers – guess who was the boss of the pack…).

I was very active in various dog sports like Obedience, Dog Dancing, Agility, Begleithund. It was big fun for my doggies and me. I love to teach a new trick to an animal, with purely motivational methods of course. Cats have always been around as well – but they definitely need less training than dogs ????

I have done some homesitting the past five years but I’m new at TrustedHousesitters. I took care of dogs, cats, sheep, horses, goats and chicken. My last sit was in September 2021: For three weeks I took care of a pack of 7 dogs, 1 cat and 1 canary bird. We had a very good time together. Of course I can provide references of my past sits.

I am a true animal lover with a high sense of responsibility and respect towards animals, people and their property! And by the way I’m a non-smoker.

I’m currently looking for a sit during European winter in a warmer place like for example Central America or the Canary Islands. Sits can be from 2 weeks to 2 months.

Whatever question you have, don’t hesitate to ask me. Communication possible through Whatsapp, Signal, e-mail, Zoom, Skype.

I’m looking forward to meet you and your beloved pets!
