15 Yrs Caring for Dogs Like Family
With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, both personally and for clients, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with a member of your family. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, strong dogs, and I always adjust my approach based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort. I don’t look at dogs as just pets. I treat them like family and give them the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a potty break, feeding, playtime, or simply giving them some company while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also know how reassuring it is for owners to receive updates, so I’m happy to provide photos and check-ins during visits. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be treated with genuine care, respect, and attention every time.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I know dogs are more than just pets, they’re family. When I care for your dog in your home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, playtime, a potty break, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Tony for over 15 years, started off as being neighbors to being really good friends. Whenever my wife and I travel out of the country, he would always take care of our 3 dogs, a lab, shepherd and yorkie. They were a handful, but Tony made it seem so easy. He would constantly update us with pics and videos. Our dogs were always happy to see him and really enjoyed staying at his home. After knowing Tony for all these years, seeing his compassion and love for these dogs. I believe he will take care of your pet as he did with ours.
Tony is great with our dogs, he's an experienced dog owner/walker and loves spending time with any and all dogs. We love our dogs very much and don't trust just anyone to take them for a walk. We totally trust Tony any time.

Schedule
Since I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule, which makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m able to make time for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day without having to rush around a traditional work schedule or commute. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so getting out for a walk, stopping by to check on them, or giving them some extra attention is something I look forward to. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on what works best for you and your dog. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can also be more flexible when plans change or when your dog needs a little extra attention. My goal is to make their routine feel as normal and comfortable as possible and to give them the same care and attention I would give my own.

- Before caring for your dog, I like to learn as much as I can about their personality, routine, and individual needs. Please let me know about their feeding and walking schedule, medications or health needs, temperament, favorite activities, and anything that may make them nervous or uncomfortable. It’s also important for me to know how they interact with other dogs, people, children, and new environments, as well as any leash pulling, reactivity, escape tendencies, or other behaviors I should be aware of. Every dog is different, and the more I know beforehand, the better I can keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while giving them the same care and attention I would give my own.
