We used Antonio's Dog Services for the first time and couldn't have been more pleased with our dog sitter, Tima. Our two little pups are not good candidates for kenneling as they have separation anxiety and don't always get along with other dogs. Tima stayed at our home caring for our pups, walking them twice daily, and sending photo updates. Despite their suspicious (and sometimes downright unfriendly) behavior, Tima won them over. After a week away, we returned to a spotless home and two very happy dogs. I would recommend without reservation- Antonio is a great communicator! We'll be using Tima again!

I am very pleased with Antonio and Tima. My 2 dogs, Terra & Patrick, love them and are happy and tired when they get home. I trust Antonio & Tima 100%. I can tell they love animals with how they treat mine and how happy Terra & Patrick are when around them. I refer them completely without a doubt.
Details: 2 dogs • 10 years or older • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Antonio is great he took amazing care of our 2 month old puppy. He took our doberman on lots of walks and outings. He was very carful and attentive when we were out of town and sent us lots of pictures keeping us updated all the time. Developed a welcoming safe space relationship for our pup and with us. Very trustworthy, responsible and great price.

Antonio is simply the best. He is so caring and really has a way with my dog Chewy. His love for animals really shows and he always goes above and beyond with Chewy’s walks. Chewy is a very high energy beagle puppy, and we were worried about how he would respond to a new dog walker. Not only did Chewy respond really well to Antonio, he has even been more disciplined since spending time with him!! I would highly recommend Antonio for walks and training as well.
