Please read my Schedule/Availability first. Please also be aware that my rates will go up July 1, 2026 to $26/30m drop-in visits and walks. House/pet sitting will be $78/n. Thank you. 🐶 I have been working in the Pet Services industry for nearly 10 years. 🐶 I was recently reminded that my mother told me her Rat Terrier helped change my diapers, so I've been around dogs all my life. I think I was six when my parents got our next family dog, a Springer Spaniel/Dachshund/Chihuahua mix we called a "Spridachi." Since then I have almost always been owned by a pet. Currently, two soft, fuzzy, and sometimes grumpy Australian Sugar Gliders. 🐶 I essentially married into a family who was heavily involved with the dog show world. I learned so much more than I would have if I had just been involved with dogs as pets. I joined their kennel club and later was elected to the board. I volunteered my time at dog shows and other events. I even trained some dogs in obedience skills. 🐶 Over the years I’ve had the company of a Chihuahua, a Chihuahua mix, a Dachshund mix, a Papillon, two mix-breed cats, and a sundry of small pets.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
🐶 Please let me know if your pet has separation anxiety. 🐶 Know use at least 70% alcohol spray on my hands for every household. I wear a mask if you are home. 🐶 I don’t meet at locations other than where I will be accessing your pet. In most cases, this will be your home. There are usually too many distractions for your pet elsewhere.
Ratings and reviews
Thanks for taking such good care of Winston.
Tony is a STAR! You can count on her checking on your dog frequently, making sure she is fed and entertained. She gives me frequent updates. Tony does a SUPER job!
Tony is a diligent and caring provider for my dog AKI. She provides me continuous feeding, sleep time, and activity updates. She worries about my dog’s health. And gives car rides!

Schedule
Schedule/Availability 🐈🐶 🐶 My current weekday dog walking schedule usually begins at 11 AM to 4 PM for 30 minutes each. Scheduled commute time is also 30 (+/-) minutes. Special arrangements for 60-minutes walks are possible, depending on the current schedule. I’m *not* available for one-time walks. Walks are scheduled similar to this… once a week, two days a week, weekdays, every other week per month, etc. I normally don’t walk dogs on weekends. 🐶 All bookings are made in **advance** (at the very least a day before) of the needed date/s. A one-time Meet & Greet session is **required** for all new accounts and is held before the requested dates. Meet & Greets are not required again for **established** accounts. 🐶 For House/Pet Sittings, I’m currently not available to be in your home 24/7 because of schedule and personal responsibilities. I attempt to return during the day for potty breaks, feeding and general attention several times a day, especially for potty breaks (if your pet does not have self-potty access). However, extenuating circumstances do occur such as traffic issues. I will always keep you posted. A “walk” is a 30-minute session booked separately and is not included in a house/pet sitting booking (see *walk rate* elsewhere in this profile). A “potty break” is a few minutes outside to allow your pet to potty and is included in the sitting rate.
