Information Teresa B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any specifics about caring for your dog; quirks, how they eat, medications, favorite toys, the best way to make them feel comfy and right at home.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on little adventures! I know plenty of great trails around town for walks with creeks for splashing in, and there are plenty of good smells out there.

Long walks, runs, or just snuggles!

Pet care experience

I'm taking a hiatus from full time work so I have plenty of time to devote to your dog(s). I love long walks, hikes, and trail runs, so happy to accommodate different activity levels. I don't have any pets right now, so yours will get my full attention. My gal Eli crossed the rainbow bridge this past spring and I'm not ready for another yet, but I miss doggo time. Experienced with senior care, mobility challenged dogs, and administering medication.

Teresa was an excellent dog sitter. Her communication was great and she was very flexible with picking up and dropping off during our visit to Tahoe. I would definitely use her again.

My cat loved Teresa right away (unusual for him), so I was happy from the beginning. She did a great job of dropping in and feeding him while I was away for a night... giving him attention, etc. Thanks again!

Teresa was wonderful to work with and clearly took great care of my dog over the five days I had her boarded. She sent adorable photos of her curled up and cozy on the couch — it’s clear she was a happy pup (and spoiled)! I’d definitely book with Teresa again.

Teresa was awesome! Some changes in my boyfriend’s work schedule made it necessary to find a pet sitter close to my departure. Teresa made it work to meet my dog. Blaze liked her when he met her! I would definitely have her watch Blaze again.
