Professional & Experienced
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with at least 4 dogs at a time. I currently have a 6 year old & 1 year old Catahoula leopard dogs & 3 children. I have experience with all different types of dogs from big to small. I love all breeds. When I was a teenager I spent a summer helping train service dogs for people in wheelchairs. Which I loved. It was so much fun & rewarding. I'm also a certified obedience dog trainer with certifications in pet first aid & CPR training & dog walking. My availability depends on the day, so just contact me & I can usually fit your pup in. I don't mind traveling in any weather. Look forward to meeting you & your puppy. I have a great family to help support me with my dream of working with dogs. I do this full time along with training. I have a fenced in yard & a friendly dog that loves other dogs to play with. I also have a small & large kennel that we can pop up if needed.
Reviews
I believe this was our third time using Tonilynn. Very easy to work with and communicate with. Will always recommend. 10/10
I highly recommend Tonilynn. She is caring and reliable. I have four pets with different needs and she’s attentive to each one. I never have to worry about them when they are in her care.
Second time using Tonilynn and I have absolutely nothing but the best things to say. Tonilynn took care of my two senior dogs wonderfully; giving one insulin twice a day and cleaning up messes. The messages and pictures she sends are so reassuring and bring such a peace of mind to me while away. Will always recommend her.
Toni was extremely responsive and really flexible with possible changes to my schedule. My dogs were happy and healthy when I got home. She was on time with every visit and I loved getting the reports and pictures! I definitely plan to rebook Toni next time I need a drop-in sitter for my pups!
About Tonilynn D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard. My dog is friendly & goes out all the time to continue with her socialization & training. I have different size kennels if needed. I like doing "meet & greets" to get to know your dog & you better & to completely understand the layout of your home. It also gives us the chance to go over things & ask any questions. I'm also fully insured in case if something ever happened.
Information Tonilynn D. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. Just let me know if they have any special needs, if they are shy or if they have any behavioral problems. I like to know before hand to make sure I have enough time on my schedule. I'm not afraid to give meds or to work with a reactive dog.
A typical day
I like going hiking, walking at a local park or enough just around the neighborhood. I can also work on basis training or any kind of issues that need work, like loose leash walking or working with a dog that is reactive to other dogs. I communicate well with all my clients about any kind of weather issues. Usually if it's too cold, rainy or too hot we will go for a quick walk & then do some fun training games to get the mental energy out.

I'm doing this full-time now. I have my schedule setup to be pretty flexible with each dog's needs. With my experience at the doctor's office, I know how to manage time to better suit all my clients.
