Meet Michael Sontarp

Michael Sontarp began Dream Stables in January 2001, shortly after moving to Colts Neck, New Jersey. Previously, Michael and his wife, Gina, had lived in New York City. Michael, a graduate of SUNY Oneonta, was working in the City as a technical recruiter servicing the financial industry. During his busy career, vacations did not occur often, and when they did, leaving the family pets behind in a kennel was not acceptable to the Sontarps. Leaving their Akitas in a kennel was too stressful, for their dogs as well as for them.

In 1998 they met a NYU graduate student, Eddie, who offered to pet sit and dog walk for them. The Sontarp's canines, Bonnie and Clyde, grew comfortable with Eddie and going on vacation was no longer an issue. This inspired Michael.

Michael and Gina soon realized that moving to "the country" left them with even fewer options than they had in the City, and this motivated Michael.

Reliable, dependable, trustworthy, caring and compassionate are only some of the qualities you'll find and expect from Michael Sontarp and Dream Stables.

Just a note ... Michael's clients also include animals with health problems and medicinal maintenance (hyperthyroid, seizures, diabetics and those on strict diets). Michael maintains his clients strict schedules as he understands administering a shot or pill at the appropriate time is necessary to the pet's well being.
