Pet care experience

Animal lover since birth!

I have taken care of pets since I was a kid and can't remember a time I was without one. I lost our 15 year old Chocolate Lab, Luna back in June & because there’s always room in our heart & house to save another, we rescued a Lab/Hound mix puppy in July named Ryder who is little sister to our Anatolian Shepherd mix named Keane (6) and two cats, Max & Raven. I used to have another senior lab that we lost May 2018, Jake, and when he was a younger he was a therapy dog & we would visit nursing homes & hospitals to uplift both children & adults. he was the sweetest boy who also had seizures so in addition to taking care of him, I've also volunteered for various recuses so I am familiar and comfortable with all types of dogs & cats and can adjust to your animal's energy level! I believe there can be stress added to a pet when not in the own environment and truly believe they are happy and content to stay in their own home and walk in their own neighborhood. I have a full time job during the week, but this is my true passion!

As always, Jax had a great visit with Tonya, even my cats who don’t come out for anyone, always make a point to come out for some photo ops with her!

Dog Walking • Jan 02, 2026

Tonya goes above and beyond to take great care of of Skipper and usually on short notice due to my crazy schedule. Highly recommend her for drop in visits and walks.

Tonya once again did a great job of stopping in to check on Skipper and take him for a lengthy walk and play time. She once again accommodated a sudden need for a drop in and was kind, enthusiastic and prompt. Will definitely use again!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When I come to your home, I follow all instructions given by you. I take great care if walks are needed, during feeding time, bringing in your mail, turning on/off lights and of course, I take care of kitties, too, so I’d make sure to clean them box when needed.

Pets

A typical day

I know my dogs like routine so if yours does too, that is what I can do! I can also change it up a bit with them if you (or they) prefer. Tell me about their favorite walk routine , favorite toy or treat and I’ll make sure to include it in their visit.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
If your pet has any dietary restrictions, please let me know as I can provide treats :) I would also like to know their energy level - I am a runner and can take them on a leisurely stroll so they can stop & smell the roses or a brisk walk/run.
