Pet care experience

I'll take great care of your pet!

I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years!

Teja was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She treated them with love and care as if they were her own. I am so grateful for her help. She is very responsible and reliable. I am so thankful for her. She took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and did extra on top of it. She wasn't late and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs but Teja really came through for us. She was super friendly and kind to my dogs. She really took a burden off me and I will always be grateful for her assistance. She has great attention to detail. She gave thorough attention to us through the app and our dogs, making sure everything was safe and secure at home. Teja is a very lovely person who truly has a giant heart for doggies! 10/10 Would recommend

Teja did an excellent job caring for our cat. She followed all instructions. Our cat is usually shy but she warmed right up to teja because of her skill with animals.

My husband and I have a very loving 8-year old Goldendoodle, Winston, who has survived splenic cancer in Summer 2016 and a GDV in March 2017. He is a fighter, but with his more recent health problems, leaving him to go on some necessary out-of-town trips caused me great anxiety. To say I was relieved when I found Teja to petsit him and be with him throughout the days/nights is an understatement. I was elated to find the care Teja provided to Winston while we were gone--treating him like her own and sending me updates including pictures and videos to help ease my own separation anxiety. I would highly recommend Teja for your petsitting needs. She is reliable, professional and will likely become your dog's new best friend!

Teja is friendly and caring. She treats Jackson like he is her own and will send me occasional updates when I am gone. He has special care needs and she takes the time with him. She makes me feel like I can relax when I go out of town and she cares for him like I would. Teja stays at the house when she can, which eases his anxiety. I am thankful to have found such a caring Pet Sitter.

Teja is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever met, and she has a natural ability to immediately connect with any animal. I have seen her care for dogs, cats, rats, ferrets, birds, fish, etc. Doesn't matter what animal it is, she showers them with love and affection, all while making sure they have everything they need. She has experience giving medication, and I would trust her to care for any fur/feather/fin baby regardless the special needs. We highly recommend her for anyone's pet needs!

Schedule

I am currently working a full time Monday through Friday job, but I do have weekends free and evenings. I also can get Fridays off most of the time if needed. I have been at my current job for almost 7 years so my bosses are very negotiable and I am generally able to adjust my schedule with advance notice.
