Aside from me, there is no one I would rather look after my dog than T.Bones (Toni). I stumbled across Toni when I was doing the Black Wattle Bay walk prior to moving to the Inner West. I noticed her with a couple of her canine clients – to the naked eye it was indistinguishable as to whether the canine friends were her own or belonged to clients such was her care for them and their enjoyment with her. When I moved into the area and needed a dog walker, I immediately thought of Toni and wondered how I would track her down as she was exactly the kind of dog walker I wanted. Fortunately I was able to find her online and she started walking my toy poodle Hugo who was then about 6 years old. At that time Hugo had severe inflammatory bowel disease and since then has developed type 1 diabetes so he has had high care needs! Toni was just amazing with him from the get go and took him on an adventure every time he was with her – different parks; water play; hanging out on the beach. I would receive great photos or videos of the fun Hugo was having with T.Bones and felt so confident with Hugo in Toni’s care. The only reason we had to press pause on Toni’s support with caring for Hugo was when I had a baby and was at home rather than work. Toni is an absolute gem – both Hugo and I adore her.
