Pet care experience
Put Your Paws Up!!🐾🐾
I’ve had pets and taken care of family and friends animals since I was 10 years old. Both in Alaska and here in North Carolina. I’ve interacted, lived and enjoyed being around many different breeds and mixes of dogs and cats. From helping with potty training, to walking, to playing, to house sitting if mama or dad are away. Being a friend to keep them company. I always make sure they are fed, groomed well, yup even baths! And I always very much well loved and looked after. I have such a blast going out for walks, playing in and outside of the house and giving out treats for good behavior and actions or just relaxing somewhere petting them and hanging out!! Depends on their personality :) I’ve even taken care of a few birds growing up as well!

Safety, trust & environment
Each morning at home or during my visits, I always fill up the food and water bins just the way they like it! Some pets like dry food, some prefer wet food. I’ve found others will only eat it mixed together. After I’ve checked on those things we get ready for our morning walk. It’s good for everyone to get outside and stretch their legs out some as well as allowing your pets or ours to use the restroom as they need to with no rush. I make sure they are completely done and satisfied to go back inside the home or where ever they they are kept during the day, while you are away. And if there aren’t any restrictions I like to give them a tasty treat for doing so well. Then get them all settled in before my time with them for the day ends. If I’m with them all day, we go back and forth playing, go for plenty of walks or other fun activities. Allowing for some down time as well, knowing we all need a break here and there to recharge. Refilling any food or water bins as needed. If there are any special needs that need to be taken care of or addressed I ensure those are handled as normally scheduled, following any and all instructions I am given. For example giving pets medication, I am able to accommodate those kinds of things as well. The pups in my family highly enjoy the peanut butter pill pockets! If baths are needed, I am happy to accommodate and leave the client’s family with a fresh smelling well groomed pet! I know how to bathe, dry and brush pets while keeping them calm and collected. Always making sure to be patient and gentle as we all know bath time isn’t always the greatest time for our 4 legged friends. And as a must having treats close by for encouragement and positive reinforcement! If there’s any special requests feel free to include them and I will always be accommodating to you and your furry friend!
Ratings and reviews
Tigger and Hobbes were happy and well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Latressa!
Latressa was wonderful! My cat loved her and she went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, healthy and taken care of. My cat is 21yrs old and we couldn’t have been more happy with her care. - Thank you!!
Latressa was patient and great with our shy boy, it was our first time leaving him and I’m happy Latressa took good care of him!
Latressa was wonderful! Our winky warmed up to her quickly and she was always loving on her in the update pictures. When we arrived home it was to a kitty who didn’t seem to miss us lol
Very nice and sweet person, took great care of my cats and even vaccumed their room, as i had been away for so long, that was really needed as I have two cats and they can really make a mess.
We love Tressa! She’s so loving to all of the fur babies in my family & I wouldn’t use anyone else!
