Loving care for your small fur-baby

I specialize in providing a safe environment for the teeny tinies. I limit doggy care to those ten pounds and under. My dogs are a low energy and mind other’s personal space. I’ve always had small dogs. They've always been my babies. They sleep in bed with and go on walks with me. They are part of my family. We've also routinely fostered small dogs from the local shelter and have vast experience with different personalities and needs.

Tonya took great care of Lucy, to the point of spoiling her. She sent daily updates with photos and let me know Lucy was getting along with her dogs. Would definitely recommend.

Tonya did a great job with our shy and skittish little dog who warmed up to her quickly and had a great time hanging out with her family and the other dogs. It was a relief to know that she was secure cozy and well cared for and having fun while we were away. The big well fenced yard is a nice plus and there was plenty of cozy cuddling time. We would definitely book with Tonya again in the future.

Our male chi spent almost 3 weeks with Tonya and her little family and was happy as a clam when we saw him again. He seemed content and well cared for. Tonya was very communicative during his stay and patient with him in her home. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I currently work but have another small dog for your dog to play with during the week days. We can all snuggle on the couch or go for a walk in the evening before we all head to bed. Weekends we can play fetch in my yard or practice some tricks.

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs sleep in my bed and have free rein of my house. The doggy door is a must so your dog can go potty on its own schedule! We give lots of pets and hugs. My 10 lb Chihuahua likes to play with other dogs or can do her own thing, depending upon your dog's personality. My 6 pound Chihuahua may play with another tiny dog, but otherwise does his own thing.

Pets

A typical day

After work we go on a walk, play fetch, or run around our fenced yard to get some exercise. We snuggle on the couch before bed and then all pile into my bed for the night.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Tonya can host up to 2 pets per night
My preference is for small dogs ten pounds and under who will get along with my 2 dogs and who can use a doggy door to go potty. They shouldn’t be overly aggressive or be too high energy.
