Pet sitting in your home
Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. Please read my entire profile. 💵 💲 PRICING: Please review my prices under the “Services” tab of my profile. I try to keep my fees reasonable, but understand that Rover now takes up to 30% of my fees (see photos for screenshot). I explain this to illustrate why I cannot give discounts or haggle. Tips are never expected, but will always be appreciated (they do not keep any tips you might see fit to offer). 💖🐶🐱 ABOUT ME: I’m in my 50s. I grew up on a small dairy farm, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. We had our dog, Blackberry, since she was 4 months old. She was just a month shy of turning 16 when she passed on April 21, 2023. We adopted Daisy Dot, an approximately 18 week old Lab mix pup, on August 20th, 2023. **My dog will remain home with my family, and will never join me while staying in your home.** I do require a meet & greet prior to our first booking to ensure your pets like me, and that we humans feel comfortable, too. Rover requires all communication to stay on the app. Please help me be the best sitter I can be by leaving a review. I am a non-smoker, which I know matters to many of my clients. I will always ask permission to invite any family or friends into your home, and abide by your response. I sometimes have back issues, and have discovered I need a real bed to sleep in - no fold outs of any sort.

Safety, trust & environment
Keeping your dogs in their own environment will be less stressful for them. We can play in your yard if fenced, or take walks Weather permitting. I have doggie stairs I keep in the car if they are unable to jump in on their own and we need to go anywhere. I am happy to bring in packages, check your mail, and put out trash and recycling for pick-up days, as well as clean up after myself. I don’t typically do additional housekeeping chores.
Ratings and reviews
Tonya is an amazing sitter. Over the past few years I have used her multiple times. I always know she will take extremely good care of my pup. She’s super attentive and always updates me. Thanks so much Tonya. ❤️💖💓
Tonya was great. We left our 1 year old, high energy, mini Golden Retriever home for the first time and we are so thankful for her attentiveness and loving nature with him. We knew he was well taken care of and we had no worries. We will definitely have her again!
Tonya took good care of our dogs and our home while we were gone for a few days! We came home to happy pups and we appreciated her care and communication.
Tonya has watched my dogs multiple times and always does an excellent job! I love that she keeps the house clean and does the extras while I’m away. I always feel confident leaving my dogs in her care. Highly recommend!
Tonya was completely reliable in fulfilling what we had agreed upon for taking care of Sadie and Sammy and spending four days and nights with them. She has excellent experience and is sensitive and understanding about older pets, and people! She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos. I would not hesitate to ask Tony to return next time we need to go away.
Tonya took excellent care of our two elderly dogs. I think they barely missed us when we were gone because they got all of the pets and cuddles they could ask for. She took excellent care of the house and handled our excessive amount of deliveries with care. She kept us regularly updated with status updates and photos. Highly recommend.

Schedule
This is the only job I have, so most of my time will be spent in your home with your pets. It’s helpful if you leave written instructions that include the times of day your pets are usually fed, walked, and medicated (if needed). *See below* My goal is to keep your pets safe and loved. I tend to give updates daily, but can do more or less depending on your preference.
