Energy and fun for your pup!
Pet care experience
I can provide your dog with the comforting, fun and active care he or she deserves in your absence. I love connecting with pups of all sizes and ages, as well as dog parents--I think it's pertinent to learn the ins-and-outs of a dog's daily life, relationships and habits in order to provide a stress-free environment while owners are away. I gained valuable training and obedience experience while raising two Guide Dogs of America puppies in high school. I secured my lifelong love for dogs while helping to care for my family's yellow lab (now 13) as well as a number of my friends' and coworkers' dogs in a dog-walking and dog-sitting capacity. I'd be happy to connect you with references who can share their experiences of having me walk or sit for their pups!
Reviews
Always the best of care and our pup is happily exhausted when he comes home!
Teresa was wonderful with our energetic and curious dog. Her home was spacious and I felt no stress about potential potty accidents since the floors were carpet free. The fenced back yard was a big bonus! I had to use Teresa’s services at the last minute so there was no time for the usual meet and greet. What a relief to feel such confidence in leaving our pup for the weekend. Teresa deserves a big thumbs up!
Teresa takes such good care of our pup! She’s really active and makes sure that our energetic lab gets plenty of play time and she’s super responsive on letting us know how he’s doing during his boarding visit. Highly recommend!
Teresa did an amazing job with my two energetic pups! She was easy to communicate with, sent photo updates while I was away, and my pups came home tired and happy. On top of that, she handled my dog-reactive pup perfectly, which is something I'm always nervous about. I would highly recommend Teresa as your dog sitter.

At your home, I’m happy to follow any play and potty routines your pup is used to. I always strive to make the sitting experience as much of a “getaway” or fun experience for your pet as I hope you’ll be having while you’re away.
Information Teresa H. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know what their typical activity level is and what the preferred level of activity will be while I am caring for them--I don't want to over-work your dog, but I definitely want to give him/her the most fulfilling experience possible! It's also great to know of any specific obedience issues that you are trying to work on or any health issues that may come up during a stay.
A typical day
I am able to travel to trails or exciting locations/parks around the Tacoma area if you want your dog to have more adventurous outings. I'm also happy to run/walk around the neighborhood (often twice, one short, one long run/walk per day) depending on what is preferred.
Services
Teresa can watch in your home
Availability
I am currently working remotely for Smartsheet, so I have a lot of flexibility for potty breaks and attention between meetings throughout the day. In the event that I do need to leave the house, I can ensure that your pup will only be left alone for as long as you feel comfortable with.
