Information Tonya M. would like to know about your pet

I specialize in Small, Senior, and Special needs dogs. I only care for dogs under 25lbs in my home. I do care for all size dogs, cats, birds, and other animals in their own respective homes.

A typical day

The typical day with the pups starts with organic snacks/treats. We will then play and go for a walk. After the excitement of the walk, I then make sure they are well rested. Each day is a new enrichment activity, and it varies based on age and health. Including Doggie Yoga, Reading, Toy/Treat hunts, SPaw days to include facial cleanse, paw cleanse, and full body massage, as well as basic commands and manners work. In the warm months I have water/sprinkler activities.

Best decision I made! Ruffles House did not disappoint! I have an indoor Husky and I think he misses her more than he missed me when I was out of town for the day. Tonya treated him like her own. Walks in the neighbor hood, playing in the yard, and just relaxing inside with him. This is now my go-to for pet care. Give Ruffles House a try and I promise you won’t be disappointed!

We have an older dog, Milo, who is almost 12, and I can honestly say that leaving him with Tonya gave us complete peace of mind. She truly loves animals, is incredibly thorough, and goes above and beyond to make sure every need is met. We fully trusted her with Milo’s medications, care, and special needs, and it was clear he was in the best hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Tonya to anyone looking for compassionate, dependable care for their pets.
