Pet care experience
Fur-Baby Friendly!
Hello! My name is Teresa and my husband and I are animal lovers! We currently have three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and one cat. We spend our free time hanging out with our boys, watching movies, and taking walks on one of the nearby walking trails. I have watched dogs for friends and family throughout my life. I worked as a nanny for a family for 3 years that owned a yellow lab. I cared for her daily and whenever the family went out of town. While pursuing a degree in psychology, I had the opportunity to train dogs at the Nebraska Humane Society for a learning lab. It was such a rewarding and amazing experience to work with such a wide variety of breeds. Ever since that experience, I have volunteered at local shelters and rescues to continue helping shelter dogs. I also donate money annually to all the shelters I have volunteered at. My husband and I fostered and a litter of kittens from 2 1/2 weeks old to 14 weeks. We thoroughly enjoyed fostering and ended up keeping one of the babies, which is now our youngest cat. I continued my education to pursue a degree in school psychology. My training has focused on learning theory and applied behavior analysis. This background helps me understand animal behavior and how to adjust it if necessary with positive behavior techniques. I had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for 8 years. He trained me well on several medical issues. He has epilepsy, severe food and inhalant allergies. irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, congestive heart failure, and luxating patellas. My cats also have allergies and require daily medication. I am able to give oral, topical, and injection medications. During your dog's stay, they can expect lots of attention, play time and walks on one of the nearby trails. We love having fur babies to cuddle with and follow us around the house! . Our cat has grown up with our dogs and is very friendly. Let me know if you have any questions! We would LOVE to have your fur-baby come stay with us! :) Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I had a special relationship with my Shih Tzu growing up. Ever since then, I have always enjoyed being around dogs. I have dog-sat for friends and family throughout my life. I always am happy to help out someone who needs a sitter for their fur-baby!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
It was wonderful to be able to enjoy our evening without worrying about our "baby". Teresa and her husband greeted Bella like they were old friends. We were totally comfortable leaving her with them.
Teresa was fabulous! She took great care of our two little boys (Bichon/poodle mixes) for an extended period of time (11 days). She was great with communicating, sending us a daily update and pictures which was very helpful since we were traveling overseas. They seemed so happy and comfortable with her and her family. And when we got back, they looked great and were very happy. I would highly recommend her as she did a terrific job for us and our boys.
Last minute booking. Excellent communication,sent multiple pics of the dogs while in her car. Our dogs enjoyed her and her husband and their other dogs. Highly recommend.
Our sweet dog, Lolo, was very well cared for! Teresa took her for a walk, played fetch with her, and plenty of dog toys! All of her favorite things! We appreciated Teresa’s updates and pictures and so grateful for Teresa’s prompt responses so we could do a hike within RMNP.

Yoshi had an amazing stay at Teressa's. She was super awesome!!! Can’t recommend her enough!

Thanks for getting Bella in last minute and for sending us updates!
