"Tonya has been a lifesaver! We got two new puppies from the same litter and needed help during the day. She is so good with the puppies, great at communicating about each visit and always sends great photos!! She even framed a cute photo of the pups and left it for us with a sweet card. I trust her with my puppies and would be lost without her help!"

"Tonya took excellent care of our two pups when we were away. Not only did I know they were in great hands after I met her.
We got a big snow storm and she was there regardless of the weather and filled in and added extra visits I needed for peace of mind. She’s the best & we are definitely repeat customers. Also love the updates after each visit and she checked in to make sure we made it home which I thought was really above & beyond!!"

"Tonya is a gift to us. We looked high and low for a pet sitter for our (at the time 5, now) 4 cats. Tonya graciously accepted us, even though she primarily works with dogs. Our cats love her and honestly look forward to her visits. She has a way with animals. Our most shy cat looks at Tonya with eyes of love. 😍 Each time she comes she sends us updates with pictures. We completely trust her with our babies and appreciate her so much."
