Tonya was so good to Scooby! He loved her too! Scooby usually takes a bit to warm up to people but he seemed relaxed even on his first visit just to meet her! If I ever need a sitter and I'm in this area she will be my first choice!

Tonja was an incredible find while we were in Dixon for a wedding. We got daily updates and the dogs came home happy and healthy!

Tonya took great care of our 3 dogs for 8 days. She sent pictures to let us know they were doing well and gave us peace of mind while we were away.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
