Safety, trust & environment

The care I provide for my clients' pets follows their specific needs, home environment, and lifestyle. Overnight pet sitting includes managing care of litter boxes (as needed). Although I am not a veterinarian technician, my pharmacy technician background helps me understand the importance of vitamins/medicines that pets may need to take as well. At this time, I do not provide care for dogs in heat.

Information Teresa H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has special needs (medical, emotional, physical). I can accommodate my care for most special needs. Since, I am familiar being around people with low to no hearing, I can be mindful in my care of pets with low to no hearing and/or vision as well.

A typical day

I enjoy walking and hiking. I take dogs with me on walks. I can also play catch the ball, tug of war with rope toys, and squeak toys for fun.

Pet care experience

I've owned birds and dogs, and cared for my friends' cats, dogs, and an iguana. I am mindful of any physical limitations (arthritis or healing from injury). I interact and talk to pets as if they are my own.

Teresa did a wonderful job watching our dog. She was proactive with daily pictures/updates and left the house in great condition!

Teresa was fantastic with all the pets. She had great communication throughout her stay to make us feel secure being away for almost a full week. All of the pets were well taken care of and we returned home to neat and tidy home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for services and I would rebook with her anytime our pets needed someone to watch and take care of them.

It was great to have Teresa stay with our two pups, Zeke & Zoey, during our two-week vacation. They do not do well having to stay outside of the house. Teresa sent many photos and short videos of the pups to keep us in the loop, which was much appreciated. It gave us peace of mind to have a trustworthy person keep the dogs on their usual schedule in our home. Thank you so much, Teresa! We hope to use your services again!

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.
