Pet care experience

Retired, reliable, dog-kisser!

I'm the woman taking an evening walk and asking if I can say Hi! to your dog. Two dogs - one as a child, the second 35 years later - were among the most important relationships of my life. No offence to family and friends. The second was a Black Lab and taking him on his evening walk in a local park in Moscow was the best part of every day. I'm retired and walk for pleasure anyhow. I am the servant of Dasha, a rescue cat with more personality than good sense, who is willing to let me spend nights away to take care of your beloved dog or cat. Friends and family have already benefited from my "service" - and now you can too.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I expect dogs to need attention and I'll give it. Though we lived in an apartment in Moscow, our Black Lab Jasper enjoyed the life of Riley, with walks at nearby parks. Most of the day he spent following us from room to room, positioning himself strategically so he always could see one of us at all times. Cats, of course, are different; I wait for Dasha to emerge from wherever she's "hiding" to let me know when she wants to be played with, brushed, petted. If this is your pet - great. If not, I'll adapt to that, too!

Toni was gentle with Zadie and Zadie loved her right away. Toni was in communication regularly during my trip and took excellent care of Zadie. Zadie seemed sad when I got home from my trip, I think she missed Toni.

Toni watched our two biggish dogs in our home recently. She took very good care of them. The dogs were happy and cared for. We will ask for Toni’s anssita again.

Toni is always on time for walking, even played with our dogs. Pets were completely relaxed in her care, and we received daily photo updates, which is reassuming. Toni is excellent, she treats ours like her own. We’ll definitely be booking again for our next trip.

Toni was so caring of my dog, they seemed to connect right away which was so nice! She’s gentle and sweet the way she treats my pup. I highly recommend Toni and will continue to rebook.

Toni is an absolute gem! I was so grateful for her assistance and care of my dog. She was very responsive and thoughtful, and my pup got excellent companionship and exercise. I will book with her again soon!

Toni is an absolute gift of a dog walker. She was extremely responsive and attentive to my pup’s needs, leaving detailed notes and sending photos. I appreciated her level of communication as well as her deep care for my pup. She asked all the right questions, and I knew my pup was in great hands. Thank you, Toni!

Schedule

I'm retired, with a schedule that is my own to make. I'm only looking for Rover duties in the 20814 and nearby zip codes that I can get to easily and quickly. Daily activities include daily walks and almost daily lap swimming, lots of reading, too much scrolling, and occasional editing and writing gigs. Oh, and playing with my cat Dasha. When staying over for your dog, I'd live at your place and visit Dasha for a few hours daily, as well as go out for errands and laps at the Y pool.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Toni can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I never mastered giving my own dogs their meds. If it's more complicated than putting the med in their food, I'm not your best choice.
