Safety, trust & environment

I am pleased to share that I care for my dogs in a safe, kind, and fun way. I prioritize their well-being and happiness by providing them with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and medical attention when needed. I make sure their environment is safe, comfortable, and engaging with plenty of toys, comfortable beds, and play areas. I take my dogs on daily walks and play with them, ensuring they receive enough physical activity to stay healthy and fit. I also show them love and affection through cuddles, scratches, and praise, and make sure they feel appreciated and cherished. Overall, my daily routine centers around making my furry friends happy, healthy, and loved.

Information Tony S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs I'm well equipped to handle most conditions, from insulin injections and medications on a schedule, to dogs with traumatic brain injuries or disabilities requiring extra time and care, I'm here for you. I am also dog and cat CPR and first aid certified and have my own pet care insurance in a worst case scenario and your lil one needs taken to a veterinarian.🐾

A typical day

We do anything your dog is used to or up for. On walks I usually let the dog lead and let their nose make the route we take! If the owner is ok with it, we sometimes take field trips to Frick Park or Schenley for our walks, and it gives me a chance to help reactive dogs through light training.

Pawsitively Perfect Pet Care

Pet care experience

As a dog walker and a dog owner, my priority is to provide safe, reliable and personalized care for your furry friend, big or small, puppy snoot to grey muzzle. I have two of my own dogs, a hound mix and a golden, and I've fostered many other types of dogs, including dogs with complex behavioral or medical issues requiring specialized care. With years of experience and a genuine love for dogs, I am committed to ensuring your dog gets the exercise, attention and affection they need while you're away or simply busy with daily life. I am also happy to provide updates and photos of your dog's adventures during our walks. You can rest assured that your pup is in great hands with me!

Tony has been a consistent high performer when it comes to the care of our dog. I appreciate how in tune he is with our dogs' needs. He not only provides basic care giving, but also love and affection for our pup in my family's absence. I highly recommend him.

I like Tony very much but unfortunately he has to go away for a couple weeks so during that time I have to find another dog walker

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.
