Loving Daycare and Boarding
Pet care experience
We are a pet loving family who currently has the sweetest senior Boxer ever. We also have a younger and very goofy Boxer/American Bulldog mix! I will care for your pets as if they were mine and follow any specific instructions you provide. My Boxer is special needs and requires a very specific diet so I am very experienced in supplements and comfortable with storing and feeding raw diets. I also have extensive experience with seizure care, paralysis, deaf and/or blind dogs, and can administer medication. Our back yard is 1.5 lots so it's larger than most in our area. It's also completely fenced in. My children are comfortable with having dogs around and are extremely dog savvy. In general, spending time with four-legged friends is what makes my family it's happiest! Contact me anytime for a meet and greet or to schedule your stay! I have learned many different strategies over the years to keep your dog safe and happy while in my care. If personalities do happen to clash, I have a large, finished basement that can be used to separate personalities. Additionally, my senior sleeps pretty much all day so she is fine being put in a bedroom. Everyone goes outside in the morning for a potty break, then I separate everyone for breakfast. I have lots of toys around the house for your dog to chew and play with. When it’s time for a nap, the dogs are allowed to sleep wherever they feel comfortable. We go outside in the afternoon to run and play. In the evenings there are lots of cuddles!
Reviews
Theresia was so great to our two dogs! We have a high energy and high anxiety border collie/lab mix and Theresia was so calm and patient with him. She made sure to send updates and pictures throughout their stay and both dogs came home happy and tired. Our little Airedoodle got lots of snuggles too and was very happy to be part of the pack. Theresia’s dogs were very sweet and both got along with mine. I would highly recommend using her services!
I have a high energy 9 year old boxer and she did so well with Theresia, her dogs, and her kids. Just from the photos I could tell it was a stimulating atmosphere for her. She immediately got along with her well behaved dogs; and I think, being a boxer, the kids were a bonus. she just got dropped off here and she’s still staring out the window looking for Theresia. I think a connection has been made and I’ve found my dog sitter for the rest of Nelly’s life.
Great experience using Theresa for dog sitting. She was very responsive to my initial request. She kept me updated with photos and status updates. My dog came home happy and healthy! :)
Theresia was great with sending updates and flexible when I had an emergency schedule change. Definitely recommend.

Information Theresia C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if a dog is good around older kids and other dogs. I have had a couple dogs jump my 4ft chain link fence, so I would prefer dogs that don’t jump fences. If your dog is a jumper or escape artist, he or she will not be in the backyard unsupervised and I will give his/her bathroom breaks on a leash. I also have tie-outs in the yard as an option. I have been getting a HUGE increase in the number of dogs that are not spayed or neutered. This has resulted in more marking around my house and aggression, especially between male/male and female/female. In order to keep everyone safe, I will need to limit the number of unaltered dogs in my home at one time. I will only care for one altered dog at a time. If your dog is over 6 months old and not fixed, there is a chance I will not be able to care for them. Contact me ASAP to inquire about if I have already booked an unaltered dog during your dates. I want all dogs and humans to remain safe and happy in my care!
A typical day
Most exercise is done in the backyard with toys and running around. If your dog is used to walks, I will give him/her walks as part of his/her stay!
