About: I’m Tony, a dog lover who will cross the street just to meet a cute pup. I’m a calm, confident, and sensitive caregiver who often hears the phrase, “Wow, my dog has NEVER warmed up to someone that fast!”. My schedule is flexible and I have lots of energy for walking and running your pups! Currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and my flexibility can match most schedules! I also do weekends! I have a medium sized apartment for watching dogs where everything is kept very safe for them. No fenced yard but very close to lots of grass and parks for lots of outside enrichment.
About: As a current cat owner and animal lover, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both feline and canine temperaments. My experience has taught me how to read their needs, respond with patience, and offer gentle, consistent care. As a psychology student, I bring a compassionate, attentive, and nurturing approach to pet sitting—always prioritizing emotional safety and comfort. I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming, stress-free environment where pets feel loved and secure. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently work part time so I’m mostly available during the week. My schooling is online, this allows me to have an open schedule for pet care. Clean, organized environment , minimizing hazards to curate a safe environment for any pet under my care and supervision. I keep things orderly and under control.
