Dogsitter Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Toni. A lifetime dog owner as well as Dogsitter Extraordinaire since 2004. My Germa-Chow, Scrappy, is an awesome canine host. He is very sociable and mirrors his guest's energy very well, so if playing chase is a dog's game, he's in, and he'll be in for lounging or sleeping. I live on the corner of S. 16th Ave. and W. South Fork Dr. I am home full time, and I am also one of the pet sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home meeting with a home inspection. My fees for each overnight stay of up to 24 hours: $28 for a small dog up to 44 lbs., $30 for a dog 45-94 lbs. I am really flexible on your drop off and pick up times. Please contact me! I'd love to meet you and your dog(s)! About this sitter: Why I love dog sitting I have always been a dog lover and am now raising my kids to always leave room in both their hearts and home to be filled by the unconditional love and companionship offered by beloved canine pals. We have a very friendly medium mix breed, excited to have a furry playmate come over for a slumber party. My dog-loving family has one rule when it comes to dogs: Life is better with dogs! About my yard I have a large backyard, perfect for soaking up some sunshine and rolling around in the grass. My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem administering medication as you tell me to. I am not, however, comfortable administering injections.

I normally do not like to leave bad reviews, but after contacting Rover.com and Toni, I have no option. I don't want anyone to go through what we went through. We had our dogs stay with Toni for two days at the end of November. When we picked them up, they were covered in ticks. In 20 years of living in Arizona, we have never experienced a problem like this. We have contacted Rover and Toni and asked them to provide us with receipts/documentation to show that she has treated the yard and home. We won't be taking our dogs back, but want to make sure this doesn't happen again. We have spent over $1,000 between vet bills, medications, treatments, pesticides and doctor bills. Treatment takes months to completely take care of the problem. Rover never followed up to make sure she has treated her yard, and neither did she. She verbally told me she had, but never provided documentation, which would have been easy to do had she really done it. I strongly suggest that prior to leaving your dogs with any boarder, you should confirm whether they have ever had a case of ticks, and if so, provide evidence that the surroundings have been treated (this should show multiple application of pesticides over a 6 month period to prevent reinfestation).

Our Tandy had his first weekend stay with Toni and she was awesome! She took such great care of him, he got to play and visit with other clients and he came home tired from his busy playful weekend! She took him in as her own and was sad to see him leave. So good to know we can trust Toni with our fur baby!!

Toni was great with our three dogs. I was very happy with her and the environment they had to play and sleep in. We will definitely be going back.

Toni did an awesome job. This was my dog's first stay away from home with a sitter. She was active with other dogs, and treated with great care. Will absolutely use Toni again!

Information Toni G. would like to know about your pet

I need to know that your canine pal is dog friendly, is housebroken, and is very well behaved. If your dog is a puppy he needs to be 100% housetrained.
