Pet care experience
Important: I do have caged Guinea pigs and have had previous experience with certain dogs wanting to/or (unfortunately actually successfully) hunting them so I CANNOT take any dogs who have a high prey drive or hunting instinct. I am a reliable and trustworthy dog lover who works full time as a housing outreach worker for homeless adults/human trafficking victims. I have plenty of space and time to take your dog for long walks, runs, etc. I also have a pet friendly apartment and I have experience as a kennel manager for 3 years as well as grew up with dogs my whole life. Dogs make my heart overflow and it's one of my favorite past times to return the unconditional love and fun they pour out! I just don’t have the right space for a full time dog so rover gives me the opportunity to get my dog fix :) A few basics, I do not have any kids in my home, I also have a bachelors degree in Sociology. Non-smoker and I love the outdoors! I do work full time but about half of those hours are working from home so I have lots of time and energy for a doggy coworker in my home office time 😊 I have a fenced backyard and also a great neighborhood for walks on nice days! My one bedroom apartment would be their domain to have free range too :)
Reviews
Tonya took wonderful care of my dog this past week. She sends updates and pics so I know she is ok, and gives her lots of love.
Nova had a great time with Tonya, will definitely have to bring her back!
Sent loads of pictures and was very easy to work with. Are dog was tired when he came home so he must have had fun!
Tonya is AMAZING! She loved our little pup like he was her own. He gave her the run around for much of the time and she still had patience and a heart of gold through the whole thing. I would recommend Tonya over and over. I feel like she’s an angel sent from above and gave us great confidence and a sense of peace so we could enjoy our much needed vacation
