Tony is nothing more but amazing. My trip had so many issues but Tony was mine and Bernard life saver. He makes sure Bernard is taken care of and Bernard loves hanging with his buddies. Tony thank you again and we can’t wait to have you again.

For my very first booking with Rover, Tony made the entire experience stress-free and easy from start to finish. He took care of my fur son with so much love, attention, and care that I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! What really stood out was how much Tony respected the routines and rules I have in place as a pet parent while still making my baby feel loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was not only being cared for, but genuinely cared about. I highly recommend booking with Tony if you want someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to your fur baby’s well-being. I’ll definitely be booking with him again. Thanks again, Tony! 🫶🏼

We’re so grateful that we found Tony! He was very patient and took the time to make our pups feel comfortable. They were right at home. They got lots of walks and attention and we got some of the cutest pictures from their mini adventures. Tony also gave us some helpful training tips. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future.

Huge shoutout to Tony! He hosted my dogs for an overnight stay and was so wonderful to work with. Between the extra walks and the one-on-one training, he provided way more than just a place to sleep. He is so kind and you can really see the genuine love he has for animals in everything he does. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Tony took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. He was super communicative and kept us updated the entire time which really gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy pups and a very clean house. We would absolutely use him again and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

If you want help creating routine and balance, I can offer ideas and techniques that have worked for me and my clients related to weight loss, self-confidence, and general reactivity. If your pet is already working with a trainer and/or has taken classes, we can discuss ways to maintain consistency during our time together. ✨Please note that my prices are subject to change based on the size and behavior of your dog.✨

Pets

A typical day

Walks: Typically 30-45min depending on weather conditions. In the summer, we walk between 6-7am and again between 8-9pm. We will practice neighborhood walks and mix things up with a walk or hike near Falls Lake or Umstead Park. House sitting: When I housesit, expect your pets and home to be well taken of. In addition to the enrichment time, I will tidy up your space during my stay. That means countertops, dishes, and any laundry I create will be taken care of.

0 to 15 lbs
Non-neutered males accepted, spayed females only
No females in heat
Tony can host up to 3 pets per night
Communication is key both for humans and for our dogs. The more we know about one another the better. Any health concerns or past traumas experienced are invaluable pieces of info that we should share. It'll help me provide the best care possible for your dog!
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.
