5-Star Dog Walker, 8 yrs experience
Pet care experience
*I do not provide overnight stays & I have no arrangements for boarding pets unfortunately. Only walks & visits =) **I am NOT an on-demand service provider for new clients. I won't even respond if we are not able to meet before the needed walks/visits. Not sure if the app is promoting this type of service, but that is NOT how it works! I have received several same-day, LAST MINUTE requests with no ability to meet beforehand, with an already planned schedule for my day. I will archive any same-day or last-minute requests. I have been pet sitting & dog walking for 8 years now. I got my start on Rover and it eventually turned into full-time work! I began offering other services in 2021 outside of pet care, such as photography. This type of work keeps my schedule flexible so that I can continue doing what I love: walking dogs & visiting with your pets during the day. Although I mostly work with dogs, I am a cat lady at heart & would love to visit with your feline! I have had cats all my life & currently have 2 right now named Buster & Mac. Simply request the dates that you need walks for your dogs or visits for any pet, I always take time to *meet in-person* first so we can observe how your pets respond to me and talk about their specific care needs in person. I always send text messages with pictures during the walk or visit to help you feel comfortable that your best friend is in great hands! And dogs aren't the only fur kiddos I have experience with: there's cats, snakes, ducks, rats and a bit of experience with horses to add to my resume as well! Elderly pets are welcome with love and I can administer any medications if needed.

Reviews

As always, Tonya took good care of our fur baby and took so many great photos of her❤️

Tonya was amazing with my very shy dog. I received text messages on a daily basis and she even brought in my mail. I will definitely use Tonya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Tanya!

I will always have Tonya care for my dog when I am away. She is very trustworthy, reliable and great with animals. Highly recommended.


I can always count on Tonya to drop in on my kitties and give them some love when I’m out of town. She provides the sweetest pictures and does everything I ask of her and more. She is appreciated!!!
About Tonya D.

Safety, trust & environment
I do not provide house sitting or boarding in my home. [Sorry for writing this again, but the app requires me to write 25 words.]
Information Tonya D. would like to know about your pet
Details helpful to me: *Diet restrictions (I always have training treats on me to grab their attention when needed or for rewards) *Pet's vet info *A general feeding & walking schedule *List of any medications & instructions *What is and is not allowed by your dog in the house (allowed on furniture, inside certain rooms, random treats, etc.) *Favorite toys I have no breed restrictions.
A typical day
I do not have accommodations for boarding however I am comfortable caring for your pet in your home with drop-ins & walks. When it comes to owners being absent, routine is important to help our pets feel comfortable. And by that, I mean keeping your best friend just as active as he or she is with you (playing, going for walks, etc.)! The parks are plentiful here in the valley which is one thing I love about it, so there's always room to run!
Services
Tonya can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work part-time doing real estate photography on a very flexible schedule. However, my current preferred open time-slots for regular walks/visits are in the late morning: 10-12p.
