Pet care experience

Furbaby sitting is my calling.

I am a dog and cat lover since childhood. I currently have a Pug and an orange American Bobtail cat, Opie and Kayleigh, respectively. They are my life's joy. Over the years, I have babysat for friends' dogs. It is fun and brings me much joy to do so.

My husband and I jokingly call her "aunt Tonya" because she provides such kindness and care for our fur babies, and we trust her 100% with our pet needs. Thanks for everything!

Tonya was amazing! Great communication setting up the boarding, sent daily updates, and I could tell our dogs had a great time :)

Tonya was a perfect sitter for our dogs, they were very happy to hang out and relax with her. We will definitely be using Tonya’s services again!

Tonya was great with my 2 pups. She was prompt responding to messages and she would send me pics and videos of my dogs. I would definitely book her again in the future.

I needed a sitter at the last minute on an emergency basis. Tonya went above and beyond the call. She contacted me almost immediately upon my request. Communication was quick and polite. Tonya's home is clean and welcoming and Tonya is a sweet, giving person. My cat, T, made himself right at home. I had a very, very rough evening and arrived at Tonya's home in tears. She offered me her shoulder to cry on, literally. I hope I never have the need for a pet sitter in Houston again, but if I do, Tonya will be the first on my list.

Schedule

I am retired, after 21 years with the City of Pasadena. I was a Deputy Court Clerk. Being home most of the time, I will be able to treat clients' furbabies like my own and provide the attention and care that they need and deserve.
