Ready for Dog Snuggles

I have a very flexible schedule. I work from home as a freelance writer, so I can spend lots of time with your pet family. I enjoy taking lots of walks with my friend's and neighbor's dogs. I've done pet sitting and house sitting for many years. I've cared for older pets, puppies, and cats. I love dogs with lots of energy.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm happy to stay with your pet to provide round the clock care, based on what your pet is used to. I know having someone else in your home can be weird, so I will try to leave the least trace possible, cleaning up after myself and your pet.

Tonya was wonderful in accommodating my last minute puppy sitting request. She sent lots of pictures and gave me updates while she was there. We weren’t ready to leave our new puppy home alone yet and Tonya took amazing care of her!

She did a awesome job. And made friends with our cat. He doesn't like people. He let her pet him and that never happens.

As always, Tanya takes excellent care of our babies, making sure to always communicate multiple times a day with us and send adorable pictures!

Tonya took great care of Ella, keeping me informed of her day throughout my time away. She played with her and walked her keeping her happy. I came home to a happy puppy.

Dog Walking • Apr 20, 2025

Tonya was gracious enough to walk our dog on a blocked day. This was the first time I used Rover and everything went so smooth. Tonya was a fantastic communicator and really was flexible with some of my last minute needs. I would highly recommend Tonya and will definitely reach out to her next time

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or medications. Let me know if your pet is allowed treats for good behavior or training. I also appreciate knowing their feeding schedule, preferred walking routes, favorite toys, etc.
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.
