Tonja & Keith looked after Farris’s pets & home

Tonja is the only person I will trust with my animals. I have left my two Labs with her many times, typically for over a week at a time. She has taken excellent care of them. When we return home it is like we never left (or even better)! The house is clean, the dogs are happy and there is usually a delicious hot meal waiting on us. The peace of mind that we have leaving our dogs with Tonja allows us to fully enjoy our time away. I truly can’t say enough good things about her!

Why we want to house sit

House and pet sitting will allow us to travel to new places, utilize our knowledge and skill set with all types of animals, and give us the opportunity to soak up local culture and history. We also enjoy meeting new people and pets and hope
