10 Years on Rover ALL DAY NO CRATES
Pet care experience
***NEW TO ROVER? Please read my entire profile to help us better serve your needs. Helpful information is provided at the bottom of this page.*** About us: We live in North Wake County (near Beaver Dam/Falls Lake/Three Bear Acres) on a 35 acre hobby farm just 10-15 minutes from Raleigh, Durham, and Wake Forest. We offer flexible drop off and pick up hours weekdays and weekends from 8 AM to 6:30 PM. Dogs are only crated while in our care at the direction of their pet parent(s). Before we had children we fostered rescue dogs. We have 3 animal loving boys ages 15-20. We have a silky terrier princess, mini poodle, parrots, chickens, geese, turkeys, pot belly pigs and a rescue iguana. We have a large fenced front yard and a wide open field for exercise, walks, and play (no neighbors or busy street). We will treat your dog like our own while they are in our care. While they stay with us they become part of our family. We do our best to mirror your pups home life and do not expect perfection from your fur babies. My dog loving husband and/or myself are home 80% of the day! ***Most of our Rover families are repeat stays. We know our clients and their pups well. They have become extended family. If you're new to us, you can be sure we know the dogs your pup will encounter at our home. We’ve been Rover sitters for over nine years and have only five star reviews! ***Please take a moment to fill out your dogs information before submitting your Rover request. These are important details I need to know about your pup before scheduling a meet and greet. It would be great if you could upload a photo, as well. ***I try to keep my Rover calendar up to date and accurate. However, I often save dates for repeat clients who have requested a stay but wish to book at a later date (especially during holidays). My Rover calendar does not take these reservations into account and may show boarding spaces are available when they are not and vice versa. It is always a good idea to reach out to me with your dates whether my calendar shows availability or no availability. In certain instances, I can add spaces depending on the dogs who are staying with me and/or dates they are booked. We look forward to getting to know your family ... human and canine alike!
Reviews
We had a great experience with Tonya and we know our dog enjoyed himself thoroughly! Would definitely recommend and hope she'll be available the next time we need to find a home away from home for our dog. Thank you again!
Our dog was immediately comfortable with Tonya and had a great time at her house! Tonya was great about sending pictures, and I appreciate her commitment to matching our routines at home.
I have left my sweet pups with Tonya twice now and she is incredible!! I feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They are not crated which is so important to me and they are able to be outside freely and safely in her fenced in areas. The feeling in her home is clean and quiet which is a huge bonus for my somewhat anxious Cavapoos. She encourages engagement and playtime with the other dogs she has at the time and sends me updates and pictures during their stay. I have one very anxious dog that never leaves my side and she allows him to follow her everywhere 😊! I feel very lucky to have found her and could not recommend more! Thank you Tonya for caring for my pups as if they were your own!😊❤️
Tonya is awesome! She provided daily photos and updates on how Rocco was doing during his stay. Rocco seemed very happy when we picked him up and was very excited when we dropped him off. We will definitely be contacting Tonya again next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Tonya for provided love and care to our pup!

Safety, trust & environment
Your dogs stay will mimic your pups home life as closely as possible. We feed all pups one on one. Our yard is where the dogs let loose and typically resembles a dog park. We try our best to allow pups to sleep in an environment similar to their home environment. If they’re crated at home, we’ll crate them here. If they sleep with a human, we’ll find a human for them to sleep with. If they don’t care, we’ll allow them to pick a spot and make it their own. Happy pups are happy stays!

Please view my stay photos! I have hosted a variety of dogs and adore them all! I pride myself on getting to know your dog and their unique personality during their stay.
A typical day
I realize dogs, like people, are not perfect and behaviors that are out of character may arise as a result of separation anxiety or being taken out of ones comfort zone. Your dog will be part of the family while in my care. I will respect, without judging, your pet parenting style and honor any special requests you have that will make your dog feel more comfortable while in my home. Most importantly ... Your dog WILL have FUN while you are away!

My husband or myself are home most of the day. Pups are exercised and taken outside frequently. We are very routine oriented which helps nervous pups figure out the lay of the land. We avoid chaos … feeding dogs separately, meeting the pack in a controlled, one at a time environment, allowing our guests to get out their anxieties before joining our Rover pack.
