Highlights
Pet care experience
River North Dog Whisperer
I have a senior dog who’s been my baby for over 12 years. As you can imagine, I’ve gained plenty of experience caring for dogs at every stage from energetic puppies to wise seniors. I’m proud to say my dog is still happy and thriving at his age! I’ve learned to read dogs’ personalities and needs over the years, and I like to think of myself as a bit of a dog whisperer :) dogs just naturally warm up to me. 🐾

Winston has the best time with Teresa & family! It was a very hot week & they made sure Winston was safe & happy! Winston had so much fun playing fetch, belly rubs & fun healthy treats! Fun photos throughout day to help us not miss him so much! Thank you so much!

Absolutely amazing care & fun! Our puppy loves his time with Teresa & family! From belly rubs, playing fetch and walks! Beyond happy & grateful! Thank you

Winston had the best slumber party ever! So grateful for all the love, cuddles, fetch & movie night! Thank you

Teresa was absolutely wonderful and took incredible care of my dog, Mia. She was great at communication and answering my questions prior to the booking. She helped coordinate a meet and greet before hand and Mia loved Teresa. During the stay Teresa sent lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. At minimum a morning and evening update with pictures and videos. In every picture Mia looked so happy and relaxed, and she often struggled with new people so this was really great to see. I strongly recommend Teresa to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. She will take care of your pet like they’re her own, and will shower them with love and attention! Thanks Teresa! Will definitely be booking with you in the future

Schedule
I’m available throughout the day to provide dedicated care for your pups, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or boarding. My home has ample space for dogs to roam and play, and there are several nearby parks perfect for walks and outdoor fun. Dogs are truly a priority in my household, they are welcome on the sofa and beds, and I treat every pup as part of the family, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and happy during their stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a roomy two-story apartment in the River North area where your fur baby can play, relax, and hang out with my super friendly dog. There are plenty of nearby parks for fun walkies, cuddles, and outdoor adventures! I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies when you travel, so I provide extra care, love, and happiness while the pawrents are away. Plus, there are plenty of nearby parks for fun walkies and outdoor adventures!
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged! Depending on your pup’s personality and energy level, I provide daily walks, playtime with toys, training reinforcement, and lots of cuddles. I also enjoy exploring nearby parks for adventure and sniff-worthy strolls, and giving them plenty of attention and love while their pawrents are away. Every pet gets personalized care, fun, and plenty of happiness!
