Motivated & Loving Pet Care

I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

Teresa is an incredible pet care professional! She is so kind and conscientious; our dogs adore her, and her dedication is unmatched! Terese is reliable, communicates well, follows instructions, and provides helpful feedback so you know how your pet(s) did with her. We have used her for walking services (2 strong pit bulls and a smaller mixed-breed Beagle/Boston) and have hired her as an overnight sitter when we go away to visit family in a few days. I am confident she will be an excellent houseguest while here. I could not recommend Teresa more enthusiastically if I tried!

Teresa was wonderful with my 12 year old female kitty, Rosie. Rosie always hides with new people but she came out of hiding to visit with Teresa. She has such a gentle and patient way! I will definitely use Teresa again.

Teresa has been caring for animals since her early teens, and it truly shows. She has a natural connection with pets of all kinds, from cats and dogs to chinchillas and turtles. She pays close attention to diet, exercise, play, and overall health, and she’s always willing to share thoughtful observations or suggestions when something seems off. My pets are genuinely excited to see her every visit, and I always know they’re in caring, capable, and reliable hands. I recommend her without hesitation.

I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings.

Please feel free to let me know everything about them including any of their special quirks. I’m happy to follow special feeding instructions or bedtime routines. Also let me know where they love being pet the most.
