Pet care experience
I have had cats and large dogs my entire life, but professionally I have experience working in a pet boarding/daycare facility, as well as veterinary assistant experience. I am capable of giving medications & performing CPR should the need arise. I have some training experience, so can follow any regime your dog is on. I believe in positive reinforcement. I have worked with various breeds, and acknowledge their differences based on needed playtime & walks. I have a passion for keeping animals safe, happy, & healthy. I enjoy getting to know the different personality quirks of each individual animal, whether they are a goofy puppy, grumpy cat, talkative bird, or cuddly guinea pig. For all of my services, I suggest a meet-&-greet in advance for your peace of mind, your animals comfort, & to give me a sense of your animals needs.
Reviews
Always so happy with Tonie. I don't have to worry about my pup at all while we are away!
Tonie was great, she sent photos of my cats to update me. She was easy to work with and helpful.
Couldn't be happier with Tonie! She took great care of our pup while we were on vacation. It was so nice to not have to worry, and know she was in good hands. Will absolutely be requesting her services again in the future.
Tonie is fantastic! We have used her once a year for several years now when we take our family vacation. She takes excellent care of our fur-babies, AND our house is always just as we left it when we return. I absolutely trust her alone in my home, and our boys adore her.
About Tonie B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet(s) safety is my number one concern. Ensuring all escape routes are secured before allowing them outside, locking doors, and putting away any potential choking hazards are all steps I take.
Information Tonie B. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, but I have always had cats and large dogs myself. To care for your pet, I do need to know if they have any fears/allergies to avoid any incidents.
A typical day
Activities are dependent upon your fur baby's needs, whether that means walks, playtime, or cuddling! I believe in positive reinforcement, and allowing dogs to follow their noses (within reason!).

Availability
I work 8.5 hour shifts M-F as a customer service representative at a local credit union, & have my evenings & weekends available for walks, check-ins, and housesitting. I currently have 4 cats. When I'm not working, I enjoy taking my dogs for walks, hiking, or to the beach.
