Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Lover w/ 45 Years of Experience
I have 45+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life—from playful puppies to seniors with special needs. I’ve cared for dogs who were blind, on medication, recovering from illness, or needed extra patience and attention. My 15 year old Shih Tzu, Luciano, passed away over the summer. I miss him so much and am not ready to adopt a new dog, but my daughter showed me Rover and I am so excited by the opportunity to be able to spend time with dogs again. I also love caring for puppies and helping them build positive habits through consistency, structure, and lots of affection. My goal is always to offer a dependable, nurturing environment where your dog feels truly at home.

Ratings and reviews
Antonia cared for our baby, Kona, for 12 days and went above and beyond throughout her stay. When we arrived to pick Kona up, she was so comfortable and happy that she wasn’t in any hurry to leave—which told us everything we needed to know! Antonia and her husband clearly have a genuine love for animals, and we could see how much they both adored Kona. Saying goodbye was bittersweet for all of us. We highly recommend Antonia to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
book Blu’s stay last minute and antonia was very flexible with her schedule and also was caring to blu which is a plus. i’m very happy i found her as blu was very satisfied with her stay. i would recommend antonia to anyone!
Tonia is a very caring and loving person my Marty is so happy in her place I definitely will ask her again to watch my baby Marty .im so glad you reply on my massage thank you 🙏
My mom is truly the most trustworthy, caring person I know — and I don’t say that lightly. I genuinely don’t know a single person who loves dogs more than she does. She’s heading into retirement and is home almost all the time, so giving pets constant companionship comes naturally to her. Any dog in her care will be loved, safe, and treated like family. I do not trust anyone else to watch my doggies.

Schedule
I’m home the majority of the day, so caring for dogs fits easily into my schedule. Because I’m at home, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of play time. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy—it brings structure, joy, and comfort to my day—so making time for them is never a challenge but a blessing.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious home with have a fenced backyard that dogs can run around and play outside. My neighborhood is also extremely safe and dog friendly.
A typical day
We will go on plenty of long walks, play fetch in the back yard and they will receive loads of attention from my husband and I.

- It is important for me to know your pups daily routine (how many times a day, feeding schedule, potty breaks and portion sizes). Also I would love to know anything relating to their specific behaviors/quirks :)
