Hi, I’m Tonia! I provide in-home pet care rooted in reliability, communication, and thoughtful attention to your pet’s routine. Many of my clients share that they’re able to fully relax and enjoy their time away because they feel informed, connected, and confident their pets are in good hands. 💛 Why Clients Choose Me I don’t just care for your pets — I care for your peace of mind while you’re away. Consistent, thoughtful communication I provide morning, afternoon/evening updates, along with photos and daily summaries so you always know how your pet is doing. A calm, trusted presence in your home With my background and experience, I bring reliability, respect, and attention to detail — following your routines exactly as requested. Care that goes beyond the basics From capturing special moments with your pets to leaving your home just as you left it (or better), I treat your space and your pets like they’re my own. Support for first-time or anxious pet parents If this is your first time leaving your pet or you tend to worry while away, I understand — and I make sure you feel reassured every step of the way. 💬 One client shared: “I was not anxious at all and was actually able to fully enjoy my vacation… I completely trusted her in my home.” 🐶 My Experience & Background I’ve had pets my whole life—from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and birds. During my time in the military, I worked around a veterinary clinic, which gave me hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of animal care. With over two years of pet-sitting experience on Rover and additional house-sitting experience in a variety of home environments, I bring both heart and adaptability to every stay. As a retired Army veteran, I’m dependable, disciplined, and committed to keeping your pets safe and comfortable. I follow routines closely and pay attention to the small details so your pets feel secure while you’re away. 🏡 House Sitting (Overnight Care) Overnight care includes staying in your home and maintaining your pet’s regular routine, including morning and evening care. I’m present throughout the night to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and cared for. During the day, I structure my schedule to meet your pet’s needs while maintaining a consistent and balanced routine. My care style works best for pets who are comfortable in a calm, steady environment. If your pet has specific needs or requires extended daytime presence, we can discuss what that looks like ahead of time. I also treat your home with respect—keeping things clean, organized, and running smoothly so you can truly relax while you’re away. 🐾 Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are currently prioritized for existing and returning clients so I can provide consistent, familiar care for pets I already know and have an established routine with. ⏰ How Pet Care Fits Into My Schedule Because pet sitting is my primary focus, I have the flexibility to provide midday visits, regular check-ins, and personalized care to help your pets stay happy, comfortable, and on their routine.. 📋 Before Your Booking Please let me know of any medications, special care instructions, or unique behaviors ahead of time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep things consistent and comfortable. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll make sure we’re aligned so you feel confident every step of the way. ✨ Closing If you’re looking for a sitter who communicates consistently, cares deeply, and creates a sense of ease while you’re away, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
