We met Tonya for our meet and greet. She wss so loving and kind. Our dogs loved her from the minute they meet her. She did an amazing job watching the dog's and our home while we were away. She sent us pictures and videos every day. We also came home to a spotless house. We will definitely be using her in the future.

Tonya is absolutely AMAZING! After our meet and greet, we felt so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Leaving a senior dog with health needs was a concern for us but she put our minds at ease and attended to their every need. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. She will definitely be our first call every time we need a sitter.

We could rest easy on our vacation, because we knew Tonya would be giving our Bitzy lots of TLC.

Tonya did such a great job taking care of our pup! She gave him lots of love and sent plenty of cute pictures and videos to help us feel connected while we were abroad. She also followed our two pages worth of tips to help him maintain his schedule. We already booked her again!

Tonya took good care of our furry girl, as well as our house. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Our dog enjoyed two walks each day and Tonya sent photos daily to show us.

I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I can take your pets out when you need it the most. I am available in the morning, afternoons and evenings. How can I help?

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to take care of your pets at your home since I live in a townhome with a roommate. I do have a small fenced in backyard if need be. I can follow all instructions left for pet care and feel comfortable with most tasks.

A typical day

I love to get outside with your pets, treat them to mini hikes in our parks around Wesley Chapel and the Tampa/St Pete area or just around the neighborhood- whichever is most comforting .

If the dog gets a long with other dogs. (I don’t have any of my own but just to make sure on walks, ect I know that they feel comfortable or not if another dog was to approach ) anything that’s limiting physically for our walks/hikes.
