Testimonials and Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about Tonda. I was lucky enough to find her a little over a year ago. She has been a reliable and important part of me and Lucy’s life ever since. Tonda is excellent, professional, super knowledgeable, and so helpful. I am so grateful to find a person who clearly cares about my girl as much as I do. Her commitment to her passion has been evident since our first meeting and consultation. She not only walks Lucy most days during the week but also stays overnight when I travel for work. Her availability to take Lucy to the Dogpark during particularly busy work weeks has been a lifesaver. She has even been able to help me with her socialization and training. If you are like me and love your fur baby to the moon and back then you need to meet Tonda.

We are very particular when it comes to our four legged children. After exhausting the typical sitters we found Professional Dog Mom. Together we set a two hour alone interval and overnight stays for a period of eight days. When we got home our dogs ignored us. They were totally pampered, exercised and relaxed. Tonda and her team left the house cleaner than when we left. Checking with the neighbors, there were no issues. I would highly recommend this firm. If you value quality, they are worth every cent of the expenditure.

I met Tonda shortly after moving to Reno. Not only is she a true professional, her love for what she does is evident and shows in every interaction I have with her. She takes care of my girl Lucy with the same love and attention I would. I work long hours and she is a godsend and takes the time to walk Lucy during the week for me. She is available for house-sites and dog park visits. Please join me in supporting this outstanding female-owned small business and trust Tonda will treat your loved ones like her own.

Tonda is awesome! Both of our dogs were rescues and very fearful. Tonda calmed them down and gave them Basic Training. Her patience is amazing!! She is very knowledgeable with canines and will coach you how to interact with your dogs. I can not say enough. Her pricing is so reasonable. Give Professional Dog Mom a try. You will be so glad you did!!

Omg I cannot rate Tonda high enough. We recently went on our bucket list trip. Our only concern was our babies. We have four kids. One is very old and one is a puppy mill baby. Tonda too all their needs into consideration. She had a choice of two bedrooms to sleep in and decided to sleep on the couch for two weeks because that’s where the kids were happy. We have a nanny cam in the house and every time I checked on her she was loving on my babies. She goes beyond caring for your babies and your home. I couldn’t believe the dish washer, vacuum, towels, and poop patrol was all take care of. We gave her a bonus as I think she charges too little for the work she does. Please anyone thinking of using her, please giver her a chance. This lady is one in a million.
