Highlights
Pet care experience
5-Star Dog Walker, 8 yrs experience
*I do not provide overnight stays & I have no arrangements for boarding pets unfortunately. Only walks & visits =) **3 DAYS MINIMUM NOTICE for new customer requests. I am not an on-demand service provider for new customers. I won't even respond if we are not able to meet before the needed walks/visits. Not sure if the app is promoting the service this way, but that is not how it works - I have received several same-day or last minute requests with no availability to meet beforehand, & with an already planned schedule for my day. I will archive any same-day, next-day or last-minute requests. It is your responsibility as a pet owner to plan ahead accordingly & secure care for your beloved pet. >> However, if it is an EMERGENCY (such as: original sitter/walker is not responding, or is unable to continue care for some reason & you are already away), please do send a request & message me with details of the situation including your pet info (breed, size, temperment). I'll try to help if I am able. I have had to step in a few times, and I would never want a pet to go without care due to circumstance. ***BREED RESTRICTIONS: No longer working with Malamute or Akita breeds. ________________ 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 3 right now named Buster, Mac & Lark. 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! I also have experience with: snakes, ducks, chickens, rats and horses to add to my resume as well! Elderly pets are welcome with love and I can administer any medications if needed.

I do not provide house sitting or boarding in my home. [Sorry for writing this again, but the rover app requires me to write 25 words for this prompt.]
Ratings and reviews
Takes great care of my kitties. Always on time and great communication. Highly recommend.
Tonya is great!!! Such a wonderful peace of mind that she is able to come check on our pups and spend a little time with them when I have to travel and my other half has to work long days. Highly recommend!!!!
Good, clear communication from someone who is clearly an animal lover
Tonya was very responsive and proactive in her outreach. It was much appreciated especially due to one of my dogs having some upset tummy issues.
Another great visit with Tonya!!! It’s amazing peace of mind that she is here to help with letting our pups out and feeding if needed!!
This was our first time leaving our fur babies. We were gone for 3 nights, and were not the least bit worried because Tonya sent us updates after each drop in visit. She even went above and beyond by hauling up our trash bins and bringing our mail into the house. Tonya, you are the best, thank you so much.
