Here are a list of all our current, up-to-date pet sitter certifications. Each of our pet sitters are required to take a Pet CPR & First Aid course. They are able to recognize when your pet is in visible distress and might need to make an emergency vet visit. Additionally, they can provide basic first aid if necessary.
We also require each of our pet sitters to pass a six hour-long course on pet sitting & dog walking. This course covers all the basics to be able to ensure professional service each time. We strive to provide exceptional customer service to keep our human clients just as happy as we keep our furry ones!
The owner of the business, Tonya Putney, is a Fear Free Certified Professional. The objective of the Fear Free Pet course is to teach the benefits of positive reinforcement and the dangers of training methods that involve fear or pain. The Fear Free Certification teaches the modern approach to pet care that seeks to improve the human-animal bond through trust. Tonya is familiar with fearful and reactive animals and handles them skillfully and sensitively.
At Tail Wags & Walks LLC, we take our job as your primary pet care provider seriously. We are always interested in learning more about our professional field. Our main goal as your appointed pet sitter is to remain informed and educated so that you can rest assured that your pets are in capable hands while you’re away.
This business is a proud member and bonded & insured through Pet Sitters Associates.

“Tonya would make an excellent dog walker/watcher for your pet. Not only has she owned pets since she was young, but she worked at a dog kennel for 6 years where she had experience handling a variety of dogs and cats. She is a true animal lover and would treat your pet with affection along with calmness, firmness, and control when needed. Tonya is very conscientious and reliable and I would highly recommend for any of your animal care needs.”

If anyone is looking for a pet sitter/dog walker I highly recommend Tail Wags & Walks LLC. Tonya is wonderful and takes excellent care of our pack. She is professional, compassionate and truly loves what she does. If I have to be away for the day I love that my pets can stay home, are in great hands and tired when I get home.🐾
