Dog Lover with a flexible schedule

Pet care experience

I personally feel that I'm not just a walker or sitter for your fur babies. I'm that person you can trust and depend on when you need me the most. I know from past experience, my dog nanny was my right hand at times. I can be that for you if and when you need it. On our walks, I would ensure your "kids" would be given the full attention as I give my own. At the end, I would update our doggie journal and if you like a picture sent to your phone of the kids saying hi Mom or Dad. I would also be available for overnights this way your "kids" would have someone they know, trust and love while you are away. While staying at your home, I will also keep up any daily pool maintenance (check skimmer basket, skim and sweep when necessary) I do have a back-up sitter that I can recommend if I am not available when you need me. He’s on Rover too… DOMINS00324 Check him out. ASK ME ABOUT BOOKING SPECIALS: BOOK WITH ME AND GET YOUR SECOND NIGHT 1/2 OFF

Tony was fantastic! I had a quick work trip and he was able to take the best care of my FIVE dogs. They were probably more spoiled with him than when I’m home. I got plenty of updates and photos which definitely helps when you’re missing your fur babies. 100% will be using him again.

Tony is an awesome pet parent. He's had animals ever since he was a little boy, and has rescued/fostered several of his companions. He's also dependable, neat and conscientious. Any time Tony has been a pet caregiver, he's gotten glowing reviews.

Tony is our go to guy. We have used him repeatedly and he always leaves the house spotless and pup happy. It takes so much stress off holiday travel knowing he is in our home with our dog. He went above and beyond this last week and even scrubbed the pool!

Tony was wonderful. You could tell in his messages he really loves dogs and rover just isn’t a job. He was very kind and patient with my barking baby.

While on walks, ensure not going out during heat of day (I like to get up early before the heat of the day for walks). While in your home, ensure all gates are always closed (locked when lock is available)

Information Tony S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know daily routines. During our meet and greet would be the time they get to know me and me getting to know them. I will keep notes on my phone so I can ensure we follow their daily routines.

A typical day

As far as our walks, I would follow the routine they are used to with Mom and Dad. I believe by following the same routine when they are with me will be less stressful when Mom and Dad are away. When I'm there, it's time for me to binge watch tv with them. I do work during the week however, it is only a 7 hr day. Depending on your homes location to my office, I do go home for lunch so I’d do the same for your “kids”

(If needed depending on the pups, I can always run back on lunchtime which varies depending on the day) I am at your home with them as soon as I get off work to make sure they get dinner and potty time. Then if needed, I will run home quickly if I need to.
