About Tonya M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very thorough when it comes to meeting new clients. If there are any questions or concerns, they will be addressed without hesitation. I have experience with dogs ranging from 5 lbs all the way up to 150 lbs, and I have experience with dogs of every temperament. Whether they're calm or nervous, chill or reactive, I make sure to follow the directions given to me by each client to ensure their dog is and feels safe and happy during our walks. If going outside and staying within the client's yard, I always do a perimeter check for any openings or dangers within the yard or fence, and always check if clients use yard maintenance companies, as gates get left open a lot!
Information Tonya M. would like to know about your pet
I accept all breeds! I love all dogs equally and treat them all with the same affection and attention. If there are any specific directions you have for your dog, please send them to me!
A typical day
During the week our visits will generally include a walk around the block. I like to venture onto nature paths if there are any around. I try to take the scenic sniffing route! For the sake of midday exercise, I like to take a quicker pace, but I always let the dogs decide the direction.

*CURRENT AVAILABILITY FOR NEW WALKS:* 8 am thru 10 am 3 pm thru 7 pm Hello! My name is Tonya, and I have been working with animals for several years. Not only does it bring absolute joy to my life, but it has been the most rewarding work I've ever done. I work hard with owners to ensure their pets experience consistency within their days and offer a multitude of services. Dog walking is my #1 service, and I am also experienced in basic grooming, training, medication management, administration, and giving subcutaneous shots and fluids.
Reviews
Tonya was great and kept our pup company while we were out of town. We appreciated the updates she provided.
What can I not say about Tonya? She is amazing! A few of her wonderful qualities include; reliable, flexible, responsible, respectful, loving and punctual. Tonya is a great communicator. She always takes pictures and writes descriptions for each walk. Her descriptions are never the same. My dog loves her and is always excited to see her. You cannot go wrong if you hire Tonya.
Tonya has been so great with our dog Montana, she is patient and gives Montana time to warm up. We are so grateful that we found Tonya and she gets our pup out for quality walks during the day.
I think my dogs are more excited to see Tonya than they are to see me!
