NO KENNELING/NO BOARDING We are not a facilty. Professional Dog Mom is a K9 Nanny Service, all the traditional Nanny responsibilities but for our K9 family members. We offer in-home sitting, walking, dog training (basic obedience and puppy training) and pet taxi transportation services. We provide Peace-of-Mind for Pets and People! Unfortunately YELP doesn't distinguish between in-home sitting and boarding so I sincerely apologize for this confusion in the category list.

Please be aware of this establishment This is a horrible individual!!! I had a awful boarding experience. My dog was mistreated. She left my dog alone for 12hrs In a kennel I saw the hole thing on camera. I couldn't do anything I was on vacation in different state. Had to cancel my plans and return home. Took Dogie to vet cost me $1200.000

Amazing. Just returned from a week away to two very happy dogs who are behaving better than before we left! Our dog Ruby is hard to love because she barks and growls at strangers. We knew we couldn't take her to the kennel and so we haven't traveled in 18 months.
Shannon took such great care of our dogs that Ruby has stopped aggressively barking at people when they come over and seemed happier when we returned that before we left. Shannon and Tonda updated me twice a day with adorable pictures of my pups. I finally enjoyed my time away knowing that they were in good hands.
Shannon made sure my pup Maggie had her allergy pill everyday and took the time to watch tv with them before she went to school everyday!
I think my dogs miss their dog mom! They were so relaxed when we returned, I will use this service over and over again! I cannot thank them enough! Happy dogs!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 29, 2021
I can't say enough great things about this service. As anyone could imagine, leaving town for a week and entrusting the things you truly love more than humans to a stranger can create anxiety. We had been looking for an option for some time since the normal house/pet watcher moved away to college. We met with Tonda last year and immediately our concerns were lessened as all the dogs warmed up to her and so we proceeded to schedule for an upcoming trip. Unfortunately Covid-19 cancelled everything until this year. We again scheduled with Professional Dog Mom and prior to our trip met with Shannon as we wanted someone to stay at the house with the dogs and maintain the routine they were accustomed too. The dogs immediately warmed up to Shannon, even the less trusting German Shepherd. Upon leaving for our trip, obviously one wonders how it will go, Shannon sent us text updates with pictures upon arriving at the house for the evening. The dogs appeared happy, relaxed and doing their thing. We received updates a couple times a day, again with pictures, our German Shepherd was now like her best friend. As we also have a puppy added to the pack, that we crate during the day, Emma was scheduled to come by mid day for an hour to let the puppy out and check on the other dogs. We also received updates from her with pictures. Upon our return we discovered the house was immaculate, the sheets for her bed were in the dryer, it was as nice or nicer than when we left. The cost for utilizing Professional Dog Mom was very reasonable for the service received, the process throughout was easy. The only recommendation is the quote would be better if it itemized the cost with a total estimate, rather than just a simple daily cost and you figure it out. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for day care for their pets. Tonda has several options available depending on your needs. We will be using them again in the future.

I work in south Reno, but lived in Stead. Because of this, and activities that kept me from going home right away, my pup was in my apartment without a break for more time than I was comfortable with.
After a little bit of research, I decided the contact PDM for a visit to take my pup out for a walk to help break up the day, and did not regret anything throughout the entire process. Tonda, and her staff are absolutely wonderful, extremely respectful, and easy to work with. I will highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for nanny services. You will not be disappointed in the quality of service you get. Worth every cent.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tom H.Sparks, NV10151Aug 27, 2020
I had a fantastic experience. Patricia stayed at our home of a week and took care of our 2 dogs. She did an excellent job and the house was sparkling clean when we came home. I feel for the service the price is very fair. I am booking them again for a weekend away. Highly recommended.

I was skeptical about this business at first. They are expensive but we needed someone fast and we are still relatively new in town so we went with Prof. Dog Mom (PDM). Wow, what service and what respect for our property. Tonda really screens and trains her people well. Our dogs were so spoiled that they could have cared less when we came home. We got daily reports with pictures and without question the dogs got a walk every day. The house was pristine when we came home and, as promised, the dog sitter had not been in the Master Bedroom or made use of any of the many amenities associated with the house. The sitter just focused on the dogs. So we used PDM again for a month-long vacation with the same result. They are worth every penny of their daily rate! Both times we have used them, we have had unusual emergencies at the house and one time we had a health emergency with one of our dogs. All were handled by the sitter on site professionally, efficiently, and appropriately. We are sold on Professional Dog Moms!!!

Tonda Benge, the owner of K9 Nannie, Pro-dog Mom, has done an exceptional job of creating a very successful business in a short period of time. She and her now 8 helpers can make your time away from your pets much less stressful for you and them. It's clear she's an animal lover by the extra mile she and her team go to provide the best care to your extended family! I highly recommend her!

Pro Dog Mom is the best. Amazing is the word when referring to Tonda. Our dog Bruiser is a handful, 93 lbs of muscle. He loves her deeply and she is wonderful with him. She pampers him and teaches Bruiser and us how to handle his over zealous love and affection from a really active dog. We are dog people and so is Tonda. She is wonderful, I recommend her to anyone and everyone.
