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
Tonie is always amazing but she went above and beyond this time, immediately assuring us she would do extra drop-in visits when our flight home was delayed (on Christmas Eve no less!). Tonie is the best!
Tonie took great care of our dogs while we were away!
This was our second time having Tonie watch our animals and I appreciate her SO much. I’m protective of my lil babies, especially having a pupper with particular needs and allergies. She handles our concerns well and adapts when needed. I know my animals are safe in her care. She also is very communicative, which I appreciate! We will continue asking for her support when needed!
Our trip was much more enjoyable knowing our kiddos were loved and cared for! We received so many photos and updates. 10/10 all the way!
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!).

I work 8 hour shifts as a customer service representative, & have my evenings & weekends available for walks, check-ins, and housesitting. I currently have 3 cats & 3 dogs: a redbone coonhound and 2 rottweilers. When I'm not working, I enjoy taking my dogs for walks, hiking, or to the beach.
