Earlewood Staycation

Hi! I am Tony and I’m here to help you care for your family. I love animals and they love me. I am very familiar with the breeds American Bulldogs (my late pooch named Isabelle), Pitbulls (Josh), German Shepherds (Shotzi and Schnitzel). Please know your pets will be in good hands with me. I have also fostered 20+ dogs while volunteering for two no-kill rescues in Minneapolis. I worked for several years a holistic pet food and supply shop in Minneapolis, to boot. My home in Earlewood is the permanent residence of me and my two domestic shorthair tabbies, Derrick and Daryl. They’re great with other pets, especially dogs. Your dogs will enjoy a fenced, wooded double lot. We go on daily walks in my super pet friendly neighborhood. Kenneled when I’m not home or not, your pet is welcome here!

Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

I was so nervous to leave my 6 year old (somewhat reactive) cattledog/german shepherd when I left for vacation, but Tony did an amazing job! It's unusual for her to bond with anyone other than the people she sees regularly, but as soon as Tony came over and gave her treats, his calm presence seemed to get her to lock right in. Every day that I was gone, Tony was absolutely incredble and sent me photo updates as well as little texts throughout the day letting me know that my dog was enjoying her time and getting outside, working out all of her energy, and that her walks had been successful. He even watered my plants! I honestly think Tony left my house even cleaner than he found it... and the sweet handwritten thank you note on the kitchen counter was such a lovely touch. It's clear that Tony is a dog lover (/whisperer??) and a true professional. I will hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you for giving my girl all the love and attention while I was gone and making my vacation that much more wonderful, just knowing she was in good hands, Tony!

Tony just loves all animals. He has cared for my fur baby Darcy and she had such a great time. So happy we found him.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large wooded double lot that is fenced in Earlewood. I also love dog walks and our neighborhood is well suited for them. I’d your pup prefers walks to romping in the yard, just let me know. Of course, they’ll also have access to my pet friendly interior. My
