Information Teresa A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any particular anxieties or triggers, for instance fear of vacuum cleaners, or stairs. I want to make sure their experience is as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

Frequent walks in my neighborhood keep things active. I also like to take my dog friends for walks at a local lake. Watching wildlife from a safe distance is fun and stimulating. Playtime and nap time, and we might learn some new tricks.

Safe, Loving, and Fun

Pet care experience

I volunteer for the local shelter, and I'm passionate about rescue. I have fostered cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as post surgical. Most of the animals in my care have required daily medications, so I am capable of sitting for animals with special needs.

What a nice experience. They were very welcoming to Charlie. They sent me a couple of great pictures during the night of him enjoying himself. I would 100% use them again. What a great experience for Charlie and myself.

Teresa took excellent care of our dog, Simon. She was very responsive to communication from me. She sent photo updates to us during Simon’s stay. Both she and her husband, Chris, were very friendly and Simon had a wonderful time with them. They had a great supply of toys for him and he got a lot of exercise with them. I would definitely send Simon back there if we didn’t live out of state.

Wonderful and personal care for my old girl Ellie! She was happy and following Teresa around when I picked her up.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
