Pet care experience

Pets are part of the family!

I have owned dogs and cats all my life - everything from a tiny Dachshund to a Golden Retriever with some Schnauzer, Poodles and Spaniels added in. I am comfortable with large breeds and treat all pets with the care as if they were part of my own family. We have had everything from a Chihuahua to Pit Bulls stay with us on Rover. For stays at my home your pet will have access to indoors and fence outdoor yard for potty breaks and exercise. We currently have one dog (dachshund) at home if your pet enjoys socializing. Also own three cats which are well behaved with dogs and enjoy snuggling at night or smart enough to ignore a dog or stay upstairs if your pet doesn’t like cats. I look forward to taking care of your special family member and treating him/her like one of my own.

We really appreciated Tony caring for our Izzie for a week while we were out of town. It was our first time using Rover and we were nervous with our puppy being cared for in a new environment and new person but Izzie seemed to be well cared for and made friends with Tony’s cats. :) We really appreciate your care, Tony! Would definitely book with Tony again. I think Izzie misses his cats and hanging out with Tony all day while he works from home. :)

My dog had a great time, responsiveness was fast and friendly. I would have liked to get more updates proactively rather than having to check in but that’s a minor personal preference. I would recommend Tony to race care of your babies.

Overall, our girl came back happy. He was boarding another dog and Lily had fun getting to hangout with another doggo for the weekend! We do wish we received more photos throughout the trip, but he was responsive when asked and flexible with drop off and pickup.

Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Tony can host up to 10 pets per night
Dogs must be neutered or spayed. We love all pets and can handle with no problems dogs with anxiety and separation issues, however if your dog is known to bark or howl if left alone for a few minutes please consider another sitter as we have to be considerate of our neighbors. I work from home so generally pets are not left alone for any extended periods, but we do only accept clients that have well behaved dogs. Medications and talking care of senior dogs or puppies is no problem here.
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.
