Best care for fur family

Pet care experience

I am excited to provide the love and attention your furry friends deserve when you can't be there. I have owned animals, including dogs (both large and small), cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and bunnies) for over 30 years and know that every animal is different and requires different care that I am happy to provide. For any reactive dog owners, you can feel safe leaving your dog with me as I have experience handling my own 75lbs reactive dog. I do not claim to be a professional dog trainer, however I have spent countless hours with in-person professional dog trainers, learning from online courses, and training my dog to know techniques to manage, de-escalate, and avoid triggers for your dog. I have learned a combination of positive reinforcement and balanced training methods and am comfortable using various training tools. I will listen and understand how you work with your dog to ensure I am consistent and the dog is as comfortable as possible. I know that leaving a reactive dog in the hands of someone else is TERRIFYING for many reasons and set-backs can happen if they are put in the wrong situations. This is something I am very aware of and happy to talk through with you to know your dogs personal triggers and how you deal with them. I believe that your pets are part of your family. That's why I offer personalized care for your pets in the comfort of their own home or mine. I'm an experienced pet sitter that is passionate about animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether you're going on vacation, have a busy work schedule, or simply need someone to check in on your pets during the day, I've got you covered. I can customize services to meet the specific needs of your pets.

Toni is a very professional and empathetic dog walker. I was skeptical about leaving my fur pup with anyone but she made me comfortable with the entire process. She is fast with communication and I can tell loves and respects animals. She is willing to work with you on scheduling and has a fair price for her services. Outstanding individual! My dog loves her and has been a lot happier since Toni has been walking her. Thank you Toni!

Tori is amazing! She was very dedicated to my pup and made her feel very comfortable. I had peace of mind leaving my pup with her.

I cannot say enough good things about Toni. She is dependable, trustworthy and one of the few people I whole heartedly know will go above and beyond to take care of my animals. Lots of play time, and long walks to tire them out! The first day she came to do a meet and greet, I knew they would be in good hands and I didn’t have to worry. Thank you for everything you do Toni!! 10/10 will always recommend !!

Safety, trust & environment

Rest assured that your pets will be in safe in my hands. I will protect your pet like they are my own. I personally choose to not allow dogs to interact with any animals that are not within their family while in my care to eliminate the risk of fights or spreading germs. I provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're away. If your dog will be staying at my house I will ensure that my current dog, although dog friendly, will either be away for a visit at her grand-pawrents or kept seperated in another level of the house so there is no interaction.

Information Toni A. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your pet I will have a few questions to make sure that I get as much information to care for your pet like you do. A few things I will want to know about your pet: -Any allergies? -Any trigger or things they don't like? -Any specific commands I should know? -Any behaviors I should know about? -Favorite things to do and play? -Any specific walking routs to avoid or take near your house? -Rules you have for your pet?

A typical day

When your dog is with me I will make sure to engage them in their favorite games like fetch or tug. I will make sure they go on walks and burn off energy. They will enjoy lots of cuddles and naps if that is what they prefer. I am happy to adjust to whatever your pet needs.
