You can go away and enjoy your stay!
Pet care experience
Now you can go away and relax during your stay, knowing that even though you'll miss them, you won't have to worry about your little furry loved ones, because they will be well cared for. I have 2 small dogs that I love a lot and I know the uneasy feeling you get when you have to consider the options of what to do with your pet/s when you go away. Well no worries, your small dog (dogs) can stay with us. They will feel right at home in a clean, comfortable house with lots of natural light, a large deck to relax on for fresh air as well as a cozy fenced in, nicely manicured back yard for plenty of safe outdoor play time with the two resident dogs of the house. I will also send you updates via text or email so you can see your baby is relaxed and having a good time. Your dog will also enjoy daily walks on a nice paved scenic walking path that passes directly behind my back yard. This path allows for leisurely strolls through the back of the community safely tucked away from high traffic streets and road noise. I may sit for 1-4 guest pups depending on the circumstances. Why I love dog sitting I grew up in a household that always had at least one dog but usually there would be two. With exception to a standard size poodle we once had, all our other dogs were small. Mostly we had Poodles but there was a time when we had two Miniature Pinschers. I'm now well into my 50's, and on my 50th birthday my husband decided it was a good idea to get me a puppy. (What was he thinking...lol...). Six months later I decided that my puppy needed a puppy. I cherish my two dogs. They make my heart smi Meet my pets Resident pets Frenchie ......a 3 year old 11 pound Maltipoo. Ozzie .......a 2 1/2 year old 6 pound Maltipoo. About my yard I have an aluminum fence around my back yard that is woven with deer netting to keep all the pups in that belong, while keeping other dogs and critters out. The yard is a nice size for several small size dogs to romp around in yet small enough that the dogs are never out of my line of sight. The yard is mostly grass with a small landscaped area filled with large pieces of bark, were dogs can dig and bury without getting dirty.There is a nice shade tree plus the overhang of my deck that provides constant shade as well as protection from the outside elements. There is also a small paved patio were the dogs can relax. You can access my backyard via my walkout basement door onto the patio.
Reviews
Toni was fantastic! She provided a beautiful and comfortable home for Charlie to stay while we were out of town. She is one of the nicest people I’ve met and Charlie will definitely be going back the next time we aren’t able to take him on vacation with us!! Thank you Toni for giving Charlie such wonderful place to stay!
Toni is AMAZING!! She’s kept me up to date with everything, sent pictures and eased my nerves about how my dog was doing. What a loving home! She’s the best and I will definitely book with her again!
Lexie is well taken care of by Toni! We’ve used her several times & will continue to do so. It’s like our pup is also on vacation while she’s at Toni’s home!
My baby LOVES it at Toni’s house.

Information Toni F. would like to know about your pet
I'm most concerned about the demeanor and temperament of the dogs that I sit for. I have two very small dogs that are sweet and loving, and I don't want them to feel uncomfortable in their own home, therefore even if a dog has not had a lot of socialization he still needs to be mild mannered. I have no breed preference but I prefer small dogs, again because I'm concerned with the comfort of my own dogs as well as any guest dogs I may have. It is important to me that my dogs enjoy the visits as well.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Directly behind my house is a paved walking path that is approximately a mile and a half long. This is a scenic path that runs behind the housing area and is removed from busy high traffic streets. Your dog's sleeping arrangement There are dog beds on all three levels of my house to relax on. In addition I allow my dogs to rest on my furniture. My smallest dog uses doggie stairs to reach the couch. At night my dogs sleep on the bed with me. Yours can too, unless you prefer other arrangements I.E. crates, dog bed on floor, seperate room, ect. Time I'll spend with your dog Most of the the time either my husband or myself will be home with the dogs. I do work but I have great flexibility with my work hours and often many days off at a time.
