Toni can care for
Availability
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.

About Toni H.

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!
Information Toni H. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Whatever the weather, I'm ready for two long walks a day with your dog and quick runs out as necessary. Be sure to show me their favorite toys! I will be taking trips away from you home once or twice a day for personal business, but when I'm at your house, your dog gets all my attention!

Pet care experience
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.

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
