Responsible Animal Lover!

Hi, I am a mature, quiet, easy going single woman who loves animals. I am 72 years old, I’ve owned horses for 37 years and I grew up with dogs since childhood and have owned dogs in my adult life as well. I have done pet/house sitting for many years and have had no problems with anyone in my care. I have given shots to a diabetic dog, meds in a dropper to a cat and pills down the throat of many a dog and cat. I have an easy going approach and there isn't too much that ruffles my feathers. Dogs always like to sit on the couch with me to watch TV at night...LOL. I have 37yrs experience with horses and taking care of them and their barns. I’ve also helped my dog groomer friend by bathing, drying and clipping the hair inside their paws. If you have any questions or need additional info, feel free to ask. Why I love pet sitting/walking I was raised with dogs, had them after I got married, then got a corgi after my divorce. While married, I confiscated the family dog because I did not feel he was getting enough attention at my family's home. I did some Flyball and agility with my corgi, Geraldine who passed in 2013 at the age of 15. Walking a dog gets us both out and about and it also tells me a lot about the behavior of the dog, their reactions to people and other dogs as well as strange noises. I love their personalities and their antics and watching them play with other dogs. The same applies to horses. Being around them helps me get to know them and their personalities and eating habits

Safety, trust & environment

I do not board your pets as I live in the city in a 3rd floor apartment. I would stay at your home if needed so that your pet can stay in a familiar environment. If you have horses, I could stay at your home as well and take care of them as well as taking care of your barn and stalls.

Toni is an amazing sitter for my precious baby Bo! While I wish I could take him everywhere, when I can't, Toni provides excellent care for him until I return! Highly Recommend Toni!!

We are so incredibly lucky to have Toni as our pup-sitter! She is great to work with, and our Eleanor really enjoys her company 😎🐶

I am always so anxious when I have to leave my baby boy for any amount of time. But having Toni stay with and care for him alleviated my apprehension! She kept me posted on how things were going by sharing updates, photos, and videos! I definitely recommend Toni and will be using her dog sitting services again!

I'd like to know about their personalities, how much training they've had, whether or not they bite, their eating and bathroom habits. No breed preference. I must ask everyone to please make sure your fur babies are currently on a preventative for fleas as I am very allergic to flea bites. I would greatly appreciate it.
