St. Paul dog lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Tonja, a passionate and experienced dog lover. I have been caring for dogs for most of my life and have built a strong bond with these amazing animals. I understand that dogs are not just pets but beloved family members, and I always strive to provide them with the same love, attention, and care they receive from their humans.

Izzy had a delightful stay with her new pup buddy, Emmy. Tonya certainly creates a safe, fun-filled experience for her doggy guests!

Well, I think Moe would have been happy to continue hanging out with Tonya and Emmett (such a sweet dog). As we drove away he mournfully stared at the house. So, as always, wonderful care.

Just great. Loving, plenty of exercise. Her dog Emmett and my dog Moe had a great time together.

Tonja was great with our dog Ollie during our long trip. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages every day, and Ollie seemed happy and well-cared-for! I highly recommend her services for peace of mind while you're away.

DOG WALKING If your pup needs exercise and fresh air during the day, I provide engaging and energetic walks tailored to their needs. We can walk around the neighborhood, play at the dog park (High Bridge, Minnehaha or Battlecreek) or just stay close to home. DOG BOARDING: I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be a challenging decision. That's why I provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable home-away-from-home experience for your sweet pup. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I strive to create a nurturing environment where dogs feel happy, loved, and well-cared for. I have a fenced yard, I work for myself and and very available for your pup and mine at anytime.

Information Tonja L. would like to know about your pet

It is nice to know if a dog is good with other dogs. I require a meet and greet at a park with Emmet, my blue heeler, so we can see if we are a good fit! Then if we are, just let me know anything special about your little loved one so I can make sure our walk or stay is easy and comfortable (special commands, toys, allergies, etc).

A typical day

We like to go to off leash dog parks to get the zoomies out, like Battlecreek, High Bridge and Minnehaha. We also like to hike Crosby Farm. Throwing the ball or stick in any open, safe space is always a good time!
