Lifelong Dog Lover that Cares

I am a mommy of a Chihuahua mix that we rescued from a local shelter. I am married with two grown children and since I am an empty nester, my chi and husband are what I'm all about. We personally use Rover when we are on vacation so we are very familiar with the whole process of leaving your family member with a stranger and hope to develop trust where you will no longer have to worry while leaving them behind. I have a home that is in a gated neighborhood. It is surrounded by ponds for walking and exercise, with doggies being walked everywhere. I would love to get chance to meet your fur babies and help to watch over them while you cant. I would love to be a fill in fur baby Grammy. Our home is our animal’s safe zone and we feel it is comfortable and secure. We would love to get a chance to meet and greet any whom would like to visit. Our pet is crate trained so your babies can run around the house in a cage free, stress free environment. We want them to feel safe and loved, not anxious. All sizes and breeds are welcome, as we have many years of experience to utilize. I specialize in senior dog sitting, as recently had four of my own babies whom we loved dearly, reach that special age.

Our first time working with Tonja and George and definitely won’t be our last! Simon was well loved and cared for, I received frequent pictures and updates, and they were very flexible and communicative. 10/10 recommend them watching your fur baby :)

Tonja & George are great with Benny!! They’ve watched him over 20 times in his 4 years, ranging from overnights to week long stays, and we have never had an issue. They are great with communicating and sending updates of our baby boy! Thank you!

Tonja and George are literally the BEST!!! I’ve used them about 3/4 times now and they are always so warm and welcoming. Our Lola gets a chance to socialize, loves watching tv w/ George on the couch and hanging out on the patio with Tonja. A super peaceful environment.
