Pet care experience
I have spent most of my life dedicated to animals (non-career wise); I started pet sitting at an early age and have done so on/ off while moving around the country (we are a military family), along with fostering and volunteering at animal shelters whenever possible. We have two loveable adult males (GS & Boxer) who are very friendly towards everyone & love to play! I understand how hard it can be to find someone trustworthy to take care of your own furbabies, as I hardly ever want to leave my own! Don't worry; I spoil them with love and kindness while keeping them busy with toys and games as much as I can. I am home full-time so your dog will rarely be alone (if at all). I only take dog(s) from one owner/ household at one time so they will be my sole focus while you are away. I don't discriminate against any breeds or ages, so all are welcome as long as they are dog and people friendly. I ensure that any dog I care for enjoys their stay, while enforcing any rules and/or training that you, the owner, has in store for them. I have experience in behavioral training as well as first-aid and vaccine and medication administration for canines, so your pup will be in the best of hands.
Reviews
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Tegan! She took such good care of our 1-year-old Great Pyrenees, sent us lots of adorable pictures and was so on top of everything - even took him on walks! Thank you, Tegan!!
Really went above and beyond taking care of our kitties. She even crawled through the pet door to get in when the automatic lock on our front door wasn’t working!
This is the second time we have used Tegan to watch our pup! It is so nice knowing he will be so loved and taken care of! Highly recommend her! She sends many updates and I know he is treated so well while we are gone!
Tegan was so great with our dog! You could tell he was so loved the entire time! She sent so many updates and pictures that made us feel so at peace with leaving him! Would 100% recommend! We are so thankful to her!

Information Tegan P. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any medical needs, food restrictions, physical conditions, or household rules to stick to, I always like to know so that I can also enforce them. If they are still in behavioral training, I will ensure to work on it with them while also allowing them to have fun. I always have lots of different toys available, as well as all natural dog treats and food handy, but if for some reason they aren’t allowed something or if they have an allergy, please let me know.
A typical day
A typical [week] day will consist of me hanging out with your pet, whether we be inside or outside (weather permitting). I work from home but it is very flexible, and I am confident in my ability to understand your pet’s needs and not to overlook them. They will have many potty breaks and playtime while I work on my laptop. During my hour long lunch I will either play fetch with them in the backyard or take them on a short walk through the neighborhood. On weekends I have more play time with the dogs, and there won’t be much down time!
