Animal Lover/Certified Vet Tech

I am a certified veterinary technician. I mainly work with large animals , but I love all animals. I have owned dogs on my own for the last 26 yrs. Both of those dogs I showed in obedience competitions. I trained both my dogs to their CDX titles. I also dabbled in the grooming of my cocker spaniel. I raised both dogs from 8 week old puppies to their senior years. I currently own 2 cats and a miniature horse. My dog of 15 yrs crossed the rainbow bridge recently. I am not yet ready to get another dog, but miss having a dog around the house. I considered fostering , but know I would get attached and not be able to let them go. Next best thing, watch dogs while their humans are away. Take the worry away so they might be able to enjoy themselves. I was always much more relaxed knowing someone I could trust was taking care of my fur baby while I was away. I would like to be able to do that for someone else. I live on a mushroom farm with lots of space. My yard isn't fenced, but I do have access to a fenced area at the barn so that your dog may play and get it's energy out. I work full time, 10 hr shifts variable days a week. If your friend needs to stay during my work week I will make special arrangements , so that I can let them out during my work hours. Your pet's routine is important. I would like to keep it as close to normal as possible while your away. While I am not at work your pet will be with me at all times. If you allow, they may sleep with me, sit on the couch while inside.

Teresa is the nicest, kindest, most reliable sitter you can find. She is more than capable of handling our cat’s medical needs and reliably gave him his daily medication. We had peace while we were away knowing he was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. We are very grateful for her kindness.

House Sitting • Jul 07, 2026

Our experience with Teresa was exceptional! She made us feel so comfortable while she was house sitting our two Maltipoos. She visited us ahead of time to meet our pack and understand their needs. We could see immediately, by her attention to detail, Teresa was a real professional. She was punctual, provided us with regular updates (with pictures) and kept our home in perfect condition. Honestly, we think our dogs were having more fun with Teresa than if we were home (they were happily exhausted from all the playtime). We could tell the dogs really loved Teresa as they often went to the bedroom she was staying in to find her. We definitely will be repeat customers….

Teresa is always great with out cats! She helped us out with some other house things completely unrelated, so that was pretty amazing and helpful. She is great!

So grateful for Teresa. We appreciated her kindness with our fur baby and felt he was in good hands while we were away. She was honest, reliable, timely and caring. We loved her and would absolutely love to book with her again.
