Pet care experience

Experienced, Responsible Care

I've owned pets (dogs and cats) for more than 30 years and have been caring for pets professionally for about five years. I'm very good with dogs of all sizes and dispositions, and I can handle even the fussiest of cats. I specialize in older dogs who need a little extra TLC while their families are away. I am a retired educator and will treat your home and pets with care and respect. As a home owner who travels, I know the importance of reliable, on-time care for your pets and property when you’re away. I strive to make your pets as comfy as possible and care for your home as I would my own. No one is ever going to be a substitute for you, but I make every effort to engage and ensure your pets are safe and that all their needs are met until their favorite people return home.

Tonya is amazing! Timely and attentive to detail, I trusted from the moment I met her that my two giant rambunctious dogs were in great hands! Highly recommend and will reach out to her again in the future 🙏🏻

From the first time I messaged Tonya, things went very smoothly. Tonya took great care of my dogs while I was away and I'm sure they enjoyed the daily walks they took with her. She did a great job of keeping me updated while I was away and, as a result, I enjoyed my vacation and did not worry about my dogs or my house. I came home to a neat home that included two, happy and well-cared for dogs! If you're looking for a responsible person to care for your pets, I highly recommend Tonya!
