Full time dog lover!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Tonya. I have recently left my high paying job where I was extremely unhappy to do something I love which is dogs! I am available full time now with a very flexible schedule. I will be going to school soon to finally get my vet tech degree and in the meantime I thought what a better way to gain experience and earn a bit than to help others take care of thier fur babies! I have 2 babies of my own currently. Rusty, a chihuahua mix and Bryce, a pit mix. One of my babies, Rusty, has narcolepsy therefore I am comfortable treating dogs with any special needs as if he was my own. I am a medical assistant (for humans) but much of my medical and first responder knowledge is very helpful with animals as well. I am very comfortable administering medication and injections for any special circumstance! At this time, I am generally not able to accept extended (over 7 day) boardings. (Case by case basis) I am renting an apartment at the moment but once I move into my own new place I will be offering any services you need for as long as you need. Please bare with me until this time. **my schedule fills up quickly please book as far in advance as you are able.** I can't wait to play with your doggos!
Reviews
Tonya did a wonderful job pet sitting during our recent 4-day trip to New Jersey. We knew from the beginning of the meet-and-greet that she loved our pups and they her, which was obviously a prime consideration. She had no qualms about dealing with four animals of differing temperaments, ages, and food and medication requirements. Amazingly, in spite of a last-minute family emergency, she was at the house nearly full time (much more than expected), and provided us with multiple updates and pictures every day so we would feel comfortable knowing our furbabies were receiving plenty of TLC while we were gone. Finally, she left the house in pristine condition, which was very much appreciated. We were more than fully satisfied with Tonya's care of our pets and will definitely use her again. Highly recommended.
Tonya was an excellent sitter. Our dogs loved her and she was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely have her watch our dogs again and would recommend
My first time using the app on such a short notice I was a bit uneasy. Tonya was very open and willing to meet. She did a phenomenal job with psi and kept constant communication with me th entire weekend. She went above and beyond what was required of her. I’d recommend Tonya for whatever services she is available to to offer for your pet!
Tonya is awesome! My dog loves her and she always provides me feedback on how the walk went!

I love playing fetch probably as much as your dog does! Whether this is at home or your local dog park! Long walks around the block are great! You can plan on tons of cuddle time! Also, when drop in visits are scheduled my minimum time to stay is 30 mins but I usually stay as long as possible!
