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.

River North Dog Whisperer

Pet care experience

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. 🐾

Teresa is the best pet sitter ever. My little 16-year-old Annie is so well taken care of when I’m away. Teresa is so good about sticking to Annie’s schedule, her medication and just making sure she’s well groomed and attended to. My little girl comes home with so much energy because she’s so well taken care of. Annie had a little tummy issue during her stay and Teresa communicated and gave me updates to make me feel at ease while I was not there. She was ready with some organic pumpkin to calm her tummy. I’m so thankful I found Teresa…and Annie is too!
