Dog Lover Wants to Help
Pet care experience
**I have 4 dogs and a cat so your pet needs to me fine with them** I have had dogs in my life since when I can remember. I always loved dogs and I would love to make your life easier and give your puppers all the love they need when you are away. I can feed them, walk them, snuggle them, clean them if needed, or drive them to the vet. I am used to all dogs (I have a 150 pounds dog, as well as a 47 pounds dog) and my in-laws have a bunch of different dogs. I also have a cat, so I am used to them too. Just tell me what you and your pet need and I will try my best to help out and make both you and the pet happy. Have a good day!
Reviews
Teresa was AMAZING!!!! She treated Macie like her own!!!! Sent plenty of video and picture updates!!! Highly highly highly recommend her!!! Sincerely, Todd
Teresa and Keegan were wonderful with my newly adopted dog, Mia! They’ve worked with her on obedience training, given her oral medications, and plenty of exercise and attention while I was away. Mia has some separation anxiety and allergies that Teresa and Keegan were very attentive to. Mia loved playing with Teresa’s friendly four dogs and cat. Thanks again for taking such great care of Mia!

I can crate dogs if needed and the house is definitely big enough to split dogs up in case there was to be some fighting. Usually dogs are fed all at the same time but if there are cases of aggression we feed them in separate rooms. If you crate your dog, I am more then happy to crate them at night or when I leave (please bring your crate). One of my dogs has separation anxiety so I am familiar with oral medications. Also my husband used to work in a vet office so he is very helpful as well.

Information Teresa M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special need or anything I should know about. In order to schedule, your pupper would have to pass a “cat test” to make sure that our cat will be safe as well. If you already know your cat shows aggression towards cats or other pets, let me know. Also, I would prefer a fixed dog just to avoid the hormones and my male dogs (fixed) get all excited and compete over the attention of the new comer.
A typical day
As mentioned before, we play a lot of fetch in the house. We also have two agility tunnels in the yard so the dogs can play and hide when they are chasing each other. I can walk them in the neighborhood (very dog friendly) and also practice obedience training if needed.

Availability
I am currently working from home and my husband is working nights. While I am working, the dogs are chilling with me in the home office, either playing with their toys or taking a nap on the couch. When I take breaks or my husband is not sleeping, the dogs can roam around the house, say hi to the cat or play in the yard. If they are lucky, they see squirrels and deers play in the woods. Sometimes the deers want to play and they run around the fence and the dogs try to keep up with them. At night, we cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. Also Ellie (full name Queen Elizabeth, the corgi) is a fetch master and my husband loves to throw balls and play fetch.
