About: I truly can’t remember a time where I didn’t have at least one (or ten) animals in my house growing up! Including my three-legged Chihuahua, energetic Catahoula’s, and rescue Aussie mix. I have been trusted to walk, care, and spend nights with pets of family, friends, and community members. I have worked in a pet boarding facility for four years where I got to meet some of my best furry friends! I have experience with many types of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I provide care that meets YOUR pets needs…whether it be a 4 month old puppy or 14 year old senior dog, energetic and playful or a timid couch potato, big St Bernard’s and Great Danes or Dachshunds and teacup Chihuahuas. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am currently a student at UWSP where I have a pretty flexible schedule, especially on weekends. I am able to do whatever your pet needs whether it’s a quick walk while you’re away or staying the night while you’re on vacation. I am able to be with your pet almost all day, with the exception of classes. I have worked in pet boarding for 4 years and have encountered many different situations and handled each accordingly. I know basic first aid for animals and I am very comfortable giving dogs medications (even if they aren’t fond of it). During walks I am attentive to my surroundings and am able to avoid stressful situations for your fur baby.

“Theresa was great. Very reliable, prompt, good communication and seems to get along well with our animals. Our dog is usually pretty anxious, but our pup seemed happier when we came home than before! She even took care our bearded dragon! She will be our go to sitter from now on.”


About: I own and run my own kennel of sled dog's. My experience with a large number of working dogs expands over 10 years. I am a certified animal bodyworker, know animal first aid, and also have experience with dog training. Caring for sled dog's is a year round job; you can't put them away at the end of the season and take them out again the next season. My entire life revolves around dog and other animal care. Animals are my love, helping them is my passion. My goal is to create a healthier future for our animals starting with the present. This is achieved through extensive research, field trials, and continual education to bring you and your pet the best there is to offer. If I wouldn't do it with my own animals, I won't do it with yours.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, we currently have a 14 year old lab. I love to walk. I am retired and have plenty of time to spend with your dog! Available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day as needed. I have no set schedule therefor I am very flexible to work with whether it’s a walk, drop in service, daycare or boarding. I have a large yard and love to walk or play with your dog. We have a tie out in the yard for outdoor time if not out for a walk. The lake is down the hill so swimming is possible after establishing a relationship where we know your dog won’t run/swim off.
