Pet care experience

Pet Expert-30 year experience

I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I have made it my mission to learn as much as I can to help others any way I can. No job is too big or too small. I personally have a horse, donkey, chickens, pig, guinea pigs, bearded dragon & of course my dogs. I specialize in dogs with special needs. I’ve worked closely with my vet & other local vets, rescue groups to help as many homeless dogs as possible & learning how to tend with dogs that extra care. These skills make me a much better well round individual to help care for your fury companions in your absence.

Tonia has been my dog Whitman's sitter since he was about three months old; he is now eight. She is a caring person, and he loves spending time with her. I know that he is well taken care of, and there is no need to worry about him. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies.

We have been using Tonia for the last 7 years to care for our pets - all nine of them! Three dogs, five cats, and a rabbit. Tonia is very knowledgeable and has vast experience taking care of a variety of animals. She is a dog trainer also and understands dog behaviors and can even guide you on problem situations with your pets. My husband and I highly recommend her for her professionalism and love for animals.

Tonia is great, super friendly and professional; you can tell she really loves animals! She definitely had her hands full with my herd of animals (4 horses, 6 cats and a dog).She sends pictures and updates of your fur babies multiple times a day, which is such a comfort when you are out of town. I highly recommend her for all your pet needs.

Tonia has taken care of my multiple pets for over 5 years. I’ve always been a worrier when it comes to leaving my crew behind. But since meeting Tonia my trips have been worry free. She sends pics and videos throughout. Plus she trims their nails and grooms them when needed. She’s awesome!!

Tonia is who I trust to care for my pets when I’m not home. She really loves on them, and knows their individual personalities. Because of her years of experience, I am always confident that she can handle anything that may come up in my absence the same as I would. I have special needs pets & I know she pays great attention to giving medicine & can trust her to notice when anything is off with any of them. She is a trusted member of our pack & I cannot recommend her enough.
