There home away from home

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Tonya and I have always been a huge animal lover. Ever since I can remember I have always had pets from turtles to hurmit crabs to dogs and cats. We are super excited to say that we just rescued a German Shpard named Ty (this is our second time rescuing a dog and I love we are able to give him a chance to know what a loving home is like). I would love to open my house to having some fury freinds come stay and play with us. Since I do have a dog please make sure your dog is other dog freindly and I also have a 8 year old son that can wear out any pet. We hope you consider us and we can not wait to meet you and your fury children. About this sitter: By day I work as a project assistant in commercial construction and by night I am mother and a wife. I also work very close to home and would be able to check in on any fury friends staying with us through out the day. I love hiking, biking, jet skiing, playing with my son at the park and just being a mommy. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs and have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I almost became a vet but could not bring my self to have to put an animal down for what ever reason. Right now we just adopted a 4 year old German Shepard named Ty and he is wonderful. Still a bit on the puppy side but has been great with my 8 year old son as well as if all the dogs we have met. Meet my pets Ty our 4 year old German Sheard About my yard We have a great back yard with grass, a pondless creek as well as a dog run on the side. We also have a doggie door to the garage just in case they would like to hang out there and get out of the rain or keep a little cooler on hot summer days. I also do not mind letting a dog stay in side during the day as well. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable administering medication. After having animal's my whole life you learn all kinds of ways to get a dog or cat to take there medication.

Tonya and family were awesome again over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Fur kids were loved and cared for and got the usual pics. Thanks again and would recommend to anyone.

Tonya and her family are wonderful! We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her while we were out of town. She gave us frequent updates and photos and our pug looked like he was right at home! We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you Tonya!

Information Tonya R. would like to know about your pet

If they got fur and love to play all are welcome. Please make sure your animal is ok with children since we have a 4 year old son. He loves all animals like we do and is so good with them. He does not pull on ears or tails and will get on the ground and talk to all the dog's we watch telling them they are ok and no one will hurt them. LOL...Love my little man. Please also make sure your dog is good with other dogs since we do have our Shepard Ty. When at all possable I always like to arrange a play date where our furry kids and meet each other and make sure they can play together safely.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Where I live there are some man made lakes that are great for long walks as well as a park around the corner from our house that I take my son to on a daily basis. Also I know a great dog park for them to play at as long as you give me permision to take them there. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will be sleeping in side where ever they feel most comfortable. If your dog is crate trained please make sure to bring it with you so I can keep your dog on the same rouite you have them on. Time I'll spend with your dog Other then going to work for 8 hours, they will have all the other time in my day to be with me. I also have the freedom to bring your pet to work with me and hang out in the trailer out at my job site. I also work only 7 minutes from my home so I will be able to go home at lunch every day and spend some alone time with your pet before coming home at the end of the day with my son.
