Highlights
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.

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!
Ratings and reviews
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!
Toni is such a pleasure and god send when in a pinch. I found her last minute and I am so lucky she was available. Communicative, punctual, clear and friendly. I know she gave my dogs extra love, care, and exercise. Sent photos and updates on a perfect cadence without me having to ask. She’s a dream!
Toni is an extremely kind, compassionate and conscientious person. She doted on Honey and spent lots of time with her. She gave 100% making Honey have a great staycation. We were in communication every day, and I loved all the photos and videos. My home was also very neat and clean when I returned. I would definitely have Toni back again
Having known Toni H. since childhood, I can attest to her authentic and responsible affection for four-footed family members. From her beloved Jaspar to sweet Honey Boy, her dogs have lived safe, healthy, happy lives and experienced all that a great dog can imagine. Enjoying a walk with a friend (who happens to be on a leash), delighting in the sight of a "hidden" dog's brow emerging from behind a curtain, or simply being in the presence of a curled up sleeper have all ranked high on her list of simple pleasures. This is why I recommend Toni H, without hesitation, as the best choice to care for your loved one.
Toni is absolutely the best when it comes to caring for pets. She watched over my hound Hallie on several occasions. Toni is punctual, conscientious and genuinely cares about the animal, cat or dog. Toni does not need a lot of instruction but if there are things particular to your pet, she will make sure she follows every detail or ask questions to clarify. You can rest assured that your pet is well loved and cared for!

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.
