Availability
Dedicated 24/7 Professional Availability Pet care is not just a part-time hobby for me—it is my full-time profession and my daily priority. Because this is my primary career, I offer a level of flexibility and responsiveness that is rare on the island. Full-Week Coverage: I am available seven days a week, including weekends and holidays, to ensure your pets have consistent care. Flexible Scheduling: My routine is built entirely around my clients' needs. Whether you require early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or late-evening visits, I am available to accommodate your specific schedule. Last-Minute & Visitor Support: Because I am local to St. Simons, I am often able to assist with short-notice requests from visitors or locals whose plans have changed. Total Reliability: You never have to worry about "office hours" or my job getting in the way of your pet’s needs. Your family members are my first and only priority throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment
Total Security and Expert Supervision Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are my highest priorities. Whether I am caring for a local resident's home or a visitor's vacation rental, I provide a vigilant, professional presence that ensures total peace of mind. My Safety Protocol: Instruction-Strict Routine: I follow your specific care, feeding, and medical instructions to the letter. Maintaining a familiar routine is the best way to keep pets calm and safe in any environment. Controlled Exercise: Outdoor time is always supervised. We enjoy multiple walks in your neighborhood or playtime in your fenced yard. I am always mindful of the South Georgia heat and pavement temperatures, ensuring your pet’s paws and hydration are protected. Property Respect & Security: I treat your home with the utmost care. I am diligent about locking up, setting alarms, and ensuring the property is secure before I leave. For visitors, I ensure your rental remains a "pet-friendly" environment by following all property rules. Emergency Readiness: With a keen "medical eye," I monitor your pet for any signs of stress or health changes. I always have a clear plan for reaching local veterinary care should the need arise. The Bottom Line: I treat your home and your pets with the same level of respect and protection that I give my own. When your pets are with me, they are in a safe, loving, and highly professional environment.
Information Teona C. would like to know about your pet
Important Details for the Perfect Stay To provide the highest level of elite care, I prioritize a "knowledge-first" approach. Before our first visit, I request a detailed overview of your pet’s unique world. This ensures a seamless, stress-free transition for them and total peace of mind for you. Essential Information Includes: Medical History & Support: Please disclose any chronic conditions, allergies, or recent surgeries. I am highly experienced in administering medications, so I need to know specific dosages and your preferred "delivery method" (pill pockets, food mix-ins, etc.). Behavioral Nuances: Does your dog have "leash reactivity" toward other island dogs or golf carts? Does your cat have a favorite hiding spot when they hear a doorbell? Knowing these quirks helps me protect and comfort them. The "Island" Factor: For visitors, please let me know if your pet is unfamiliar with beach environments, sand, or the local wildlife (like deer or lagoons). Emergency Protocol: I require the contact information for your preferred veterinarian and a local emergency contact. Knowing your "plan of action" allows me to act decisively if a situation arises. Feeding & Routine Specifics: From exact measurements to favorite "high-value" treats, I follow your home routine to the letter to prevent digestive upset or anxiety. The goal is simple: The more I know about your pet’s personality and needs ahead of time, the more I can make them feel like I am a trusted member of their inner circle.
A typical day
A Typical Day: Island Adventures & Personal Care Every day is tailored to your pet's energy level and your specific household routine. My goal is to ensure they stay physically active and mentally engaged while you are away. For my Canine clients: Morning Coastal Walks: We start the day with fresh air and a brisk walk. I love taking dogs through their favorite neighborhood paths or exploring pet-friendly areas like East Beach or the Village, always mindful of the weather and shade. Mental Enrichment: Between walks, we engage in "brain games." We’ll explore their favorite toys, practice existing commands, or even work on a fun new trick to keep their minds sharp. Backyard Play: If you have a fenced yard, we’ll enjoy supervised fetch or "zoomies" to burn off extra energy in a safe, controlled space. For my Feline & Feathered friends: Focused Interaction: Cats receive dedicated "wand time" or laser play to satisfy their natural hunting instincts, followed by gentle grooming or quiet companionship if they prefer a slower pace. Sensory Enrichment: For birds, I ensure their environment is stimulating and safe, following your specific instructions for out-of-cage time or fresh snack rotations. The "Wind Down": Every visit ends with a "health and happiness" check—freshening water, ensuring they are comfortable, and sending you a real-time update with photos so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having on the island!

Reviews

Teona is absolutely wonderful! Our Moo has to have daily meds for his heart congestion condition and T was amazing!!! Highly recommend and we are keeping her on speed dial!!❤️

We had a wonderful experience with Teona! She took great care of our girls! 🐶🐶
Loving care of 2 dogs, one very needy senior dog.


Teona did a drop in for our 2 dogs at our home when we were away for a very long day. She sent several pictures and let us know when she came and left. Thank you!
