Highlights
Pet care experience
Home full-time. Love dogs.
I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl from German Shepherds, collies to pitbulls. I have a special connection with each of them. I am patient with dogs and give them the time they need to adjust when meeting me if they need it. I watch a lot of dog training videos to help aide me in helping different dog personalities and breeds. Dogs bring me a special joy. They do not scare me even when they snarl. I understand the difference between a dog's fear and a threatening dog. l am observant also so can tell if a dog is feeling well or not. I follow owner instructions because owners know their dogs very well. I feel open communication with the owner is best when taking care of any dog.

Ratings and reviews
Federica is always so loved and cared for at Tonya’s. Federica always comes back happy and so sweet. We also had a travel delay due to a cancelled flight and Tonya was so generous in keeping Federica for two extra days. We are lucky to have someone professional and also caring to look after Fede when we go on travel.
When Tonya is keeping our dog, we have peace of mind she is giving her care and attention and kindness. Fede is always happy to see us, but when we get her home, we can tell she misses Tonya for a little while. It’s lucky to have someone so trustworthy and consistent to keep our pup.
We received the sweetest photos of Federica, curled up by Tonya's feet, or smiling on command (a new trick Tonya taught her!). It is very lucky and reassuring to have someone like Tonya who we know cares for Federica and gives her a lot of love when we are away.
We have never left our dog for so long, but she was in good hands with Tonya. We got timely updates and photos. Tonya also helped us coordinate with our walkers. We appreciate the great care she takes with our dog, especially during the big snow storms! We are lucky to have Tonya as part of our dog's care team.
Tonya took great care with our dog. She helped us coordinate with our dog walker and accommodated us in a sudden travel change. We know our little wild dog is well taken care of when she is with Tonya and we always look forward to seeing the videos of her smiling and playing and having a sweet time while we are away.
Fede was well taken care of loved for the duration of our travel. We also had a travel snafu and Tonya was generous and helpful in working with us to keep Fede cared for across the extra day. We can’t recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment
I am home most of the day so anything that your cat or dog needs, I will be available for them 24/7. I love spending time with animals.
A typical day
I love to play games with cats or dogs that I watch. I do have toys. I love to give belly rubs if that's what they want. I do have a large home so I also like to play hide and go seek with the animals. I love taking them out to walk so that they can get fresh air.

- I love all animals, big and small. It is imperative that you let me know if they do not get along with other animals because my condo is full of dogs. I want to make sure that everyone is safe. I only watch one dog at a time.
