I have a fenced yard. If your dog is a jumper please let me know. I allow the dogs the run freely in the back yard. If it’s too hot, unfortunately I do not let them play outside long. Once the sun goes down I then let them stay out longer. The dogs are typical fed breakfast and dinner with snacks in between. Please bring snacks (I don’t want to cause any discomfort while in my care).

Information Tonisa J. would like to know about your pet

Is your furry buddy toddler friendly? Are there any feeding restrictions? Are they potty trained? Any special instructions on how to make sure your baby stays happy while you are away? At night time are they safe to walk freely or should they be placed in a kennel? While I am away should I place them in the kennel? My home is dog friendly. I have toys and treats for them. If they have any special Toys or treats, please feel free to pack them.

A typical day

I live in the very quiet Pill Hill area. We will go on walks in my lovely dog friendly neighborhood. My backyard is fenced and if they are up to it after our walk we will play in the backyard for free time. *I provide* Dogs bowls, LARGE kennel or small kennel, XL dog bed that stays in my room so we can sleep together. *You provide* food, treats, their favorite toys and their favorite bedding(if needed)

Pet care experience

My name is Tonisa and I love my furry friends. I have 2yo Labradoodle so she will be in the home as well. I enjoy the smiles dogs have, but only dog lovers would notice those. I have experience with diabetic dogs (if I need to give them insulin I do charge extra for that service $5 per day). Other than that I have a big fenced yard for them to play in. They will go on a morning walk and 2 evening walks. I know how I was when I would go out of town so I’m more than happy to send photos and FaceTime while I have your pup. (Pls bathe my new buddies before drop off) See you soon :) I work from home. So for most part I will be with them. If I leave out it’s never too long. Ava will be in the home with them so they won’t be alone/bored. I care for you pup like they are my Ava Bear. They are able to rome around in the same common areas that Ava is aloud.
