Ready to spoil all your critters!

Pet care experience

Hello and thank you for checking out my profile! I LOVE animals of all shapes, sizes, and attitudes! I've had animal companions pretty much my entire life from caterpillars and praying mantises (yes, really!), to hamsters and guinea pigs, to cats and dogs. My recently passed baby, a senior tortoiseshell cat really took the term "tortie-tude" to heart. Throughout my life, I've always been the person my friends and family turn to when they need a pet sitter because they trust that I will spoil the heck out of their pets while they are traveling and send them lots of photos and updates. I've taken care of rabbits, mice and hamsters, cats, and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, including a Rottweiler with chronic seizures. I know how much having someone reliable and trustworthy to look after our fur babies matters, and I’m really excited to be that person for you! I LOVE to send photo updates regularly throughout the day and update you on how they are doing! I'm a graduate student with a pretty flexible schedule outside of classes. I've taken my passion for animals into my professional life and am working towards a degree in conservation!

I whole heartedly recommend Teia. She recently cared for our elderly 13 year-old standard poodle for the first time. Teia provided compassionate and comprehensive care which included giving multiple medications in an addition to sticking to a strict feeding regimen, walks, and overnight monitoring. Teia provided great updates and was able problem solve situations which will inevitably arise with an initial dog sitting engagement. Teia is also an engaging positive individual who is a joy to interact with.

Teia dog sat and house sat for 4 days/3 nights for our 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever, Dillon. She provided excellent care for him with frequent updates and pictures. The time that we were away was extremely cold which was challenging since Dillon loves to be outside. She played with him inside and braved the weather to take him for a couple of walks while protecting his paws. After his initial exuberant greeting when we returned, Dillon was relaxed and happy. The house was clean and she even washed the sheets. We also had the water supply line to the refrigerator freeze while we were away and she was able to turn off the valve to prevent a possible flood. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.

Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of your babies as if they were my own! I'll look for unusual behaviors and alert you immediately of anything. I always ask lots of questions to ensure I'm giving your critters the care they deserve! I also am happy to look after your home in general (water plants, check mail, etc) and I leave your home all cleaned up so you can come home from your travels and kick up your feet to relax!

Information Teia S. would like to know about your pet

Although I have no breed, age, or size restrictions, there is some information that is helpful for me to know before we head on our first walk. During our meet & greet, I'll ask you to describe your pet's temperament, their allergies or environmental triggers (like, they'll go CRAZY if they see a squirrel), and their known commands. If there are any behaviors you're working on or tricks you'd like reinforced, I'll happily work with them during our visits!

A typical day

I love to help keep your pets mentally and physically stimulated! I love to take them on long walks or play in the backyard for hours. I also love reinforcing tricks if they know any. With your permission, I can take your babies to a natural area or even on a hike up the Poudre! We'll play fetch and tug of war and, of course, save time for belly rubs!
