Pet care experience

Spoiling your pets is my goal!!!

I am home full time so your pets will not be alone. Our top priority is your pets safety, comfort, showing them love and of course spoiling them non stop. I am an ER Nurse and have been able to care for high medical pet needs. We have a vast amount of rescue experience including being a volunteer foster home for a greyhound rescue organization. All the animals we've loved and have joined our family from hamsters, cats, dogs, snakes and even a horse at one time have been rescued. I totally get that feeling of worry when entrusting your beloved pet to someone else's care. That's why I make it my mission to ensure your time away is as stress-free as possible. Expect frequent photos and if you want, video updates from me, so you can unwind knowing your furry companion is well taken care of. Your pet's well-being and joy mean everything to me. I'll go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable and happy, whether it's snuggling on the sofa or frolicking in the yard. My goal is to provide a safe and delightful haven for your four-legged pal, giving you the reassurance you need while you're apart.

So amazing!! I will always rebook if they're available. They took my puppers on short notice and took such good care of him. They are amazing to my dog and kept me updated on him. If you want your puppers loved and well taken care of book with Tonikka!!

Tonikka goes above and beyond, honestly I didn’t think my two wanted to come home haha. This was my first time leaving my 2 yorkie’s with anyone, I felt comfortable with Tonikka from the first meet and greet, she is very knowledgeable and professional. And the main thing I loved, was she treated my dogs like her own, best pet sitter EVER!! We will be back😁

Tonikka and her family are fantastic. This is the second time our dog has stayed with them and she loves it. We highly recommend Tonikka.

Tonikka and family were great. Whisky seemed very happy after his stay and not too stressed. I'm always a bit nervous to leave him anywhere, but I was relieved to know he was in good hands. Tonikka was also very accommodating when our flight home was delayed twice.

Schedule

Rover fits perfectly within our daily and weekly routine...Because I am a casual ER nurse, I make my own schedule so am available for any type of schedule YOU need including overnight shift work or monthly on off shift schedules. We love helping shift care workers as we know how hard it is to find care for those odd hours. I also specialize in pets with medical needs too. I can make your pets schedule work with mine and I can also accommodate last minute schedules and changes. My daughter also works for Rover so we have you covered!!

Safety, trust & environment

In our home we have a fully fenced large backyard and dogs that will keep your fur baby company. Our pets are crate trained and free roaming but we have no issues if your pet(s) prefers to sleep on our bed at night but I can almost guarantee that your pet will be snuggling with our daughter each night. We can accommodate whatever your pet needs including a separate area in our yard if your pet is nervous around other dogs during potty times, we can accommodate specialty feeding needs, accommodate walk and more...

Pets

A typical day

Each day is tailored to your pet's preferences. We might visit the park for active dogs or the mini dog park nearby for smaller pups. Playing ball in the backyard or relaxing on the couch for a cozy TV day are also on the agenda. Some days we enjoy a mix of fun and relaxation together! If you have a dog that needs all downtime that works too. We put on a Netflix show and my 10yr old pups jump up on the couch and sleep. Our house fits any type of pup.
