Grammy-Puppuplove

Hello! I’m a proud "Grammy" and a devoted pet parent to an adorable Boston Terrier who is affectionately known as Awesome Blossom. I work from home as a healthcare recruiter, and when I’m not helping others, you can find me snuggling with my pup and others! I’d love to open my large, fenced backyard to other doggie friends whose parents can’t always be home. I’m here to offer your furry companion a safe, loving, and secure environment filled with fun and care while you're away. After all, our pets are family, and I’ll treat them like my own. If you’re happy with my services, feel free to leave a tip – it’s always appreciated, but never expected!

Tonya is the perfect caretaker for my pup! Her house is clean, tidy and very comfortable and she is very responsive, friendly and keeps you informed on how things are going. I found my new regular Rover! Thank you Tonya! ❤️

My older Chihuahua Rosie had a great time with Tonya. She was with her for 2 nights and did pretty good. Even slept with her grandson. Tonya treated her like her own, which made me so happy. I didn’t have to worry as she sent pictures and videos to let me know how she was doing. I would recommend her for anyone who needs a dog sitter. We got along so well with our meet and greet also. Thank you Tonya, we will definitely giver her a call next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much!!

Finn had a wonderful time with Tonya! I think he immediately sensed her warmth and caring attitude. She really made him feel at home and he was treated like one of the family. Tonya took time to learn his routine and habits and kept to them as close as possible. He had a blast running in her wonderful backyard and playing with her pup. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and the best way to care for them. I had complete confidence in leaving Finn in her care and will definitely be a return client!

Tonya is a 5-star soggie care all the way. I have been contemplating a doggie daycare/boarding since I adopted my charming little rescue and was super hesitant to leave him with someone who may not understand his need for patience, calm and lots of love. My first day I dropped him off, walking into her home it just felt right, safe, calm. That's when I knew I found the right place for Henry. He had such a great time, both days he came home and napped for 3 hours straight. I'm very grateful to have found Tonya by referral, Henry loves her and her little pup and I look forward to having her keep Henry again soon.

I always like to know a little about the dog's overall day to day schedule, whether he or she is a barker, if they are typically crated if left alone in the house and for sleeping at night. Do they tend to whine at night when in a new home? Do they get along with other dog breeds and with children? I'd also want to know about any allergies or medical conditions. If you are happy with my service and would like to tip, it would be much appreciated!!
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.
