Sonja G’s Bio:

Hi, I’m Sonja and I am the new owner of WhiskersAndLeo. I have been living in Hudson County NJ for over a Decade, my little family includes my beautiful Pup Alice and my wonderful son, Logan. Before starting with Whiskers and Leo originally as a Pet Sitter myself, I worked in the wonderful world of Early Childhood Education, General and Special Education. Though the world of education will always be a part of who I am, being with and working with animals is a true passion and has always been a major part of my life from childhood to adulthood. I was fortunate enough to start as a Sitter with Whiskers and Leo, then become an Assistant to Loni, then the Manager and now the new Owner. I am looking forward to this journey of continuing the legacy Loni began over ten years ago and to continue giving our Clients the amazing service they should expect and they deserve!

 

Loni Rudolph Garatziotis’ Bio:

LoniHi, Im Loni, founder of Whiskers and Leo Pet Care.  I have been living in Hoboken, New Jersey since 2002, with my two kitties, Leo and Mya, and my adorable pup Valentino.  In October, 2015 I married my amazing husband Theodore, and we just had our first child September 2, 2016, a boy named Alexander 🙂  I am originally from New York, earned a Bachelors Degree from Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania, and then my Law Degree at Seton Hall in Newark, New Jersey.  Before opening Whiskers and Leo in 2008, I was practicing law for four years in New York and New Jersey, but I realized that I was not being fulfilled in my career.  Since I have always had a special place in my heart for animals (having owned dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and even a horse!), I decided to take the leap, and start my own business caring for animals!  I couldn’t wait to combine my love of animals with my entrepreneurial and creative spirit!  I truly can say I found what I love to do, which I am so grateful for.  I take great joy in working with animals, loving them, and giving their owners the peace of mind they deserve!  In addition, I took it one step further, and through Pet Sitters International, became a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS)! I am fully devoted to giving my clients a great customer experience and amazing service!
