Reliable, Affordable, Loving Care
Pet care experience
I quit a stressful profession a few years ago to start living my values, and valuing animals with the loving care they deserve gives me great joy and profound purpose. I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 35+ years, and I have varied experience, from working with lively puppies and kittens up through senior care. I have loved (and received much love from) many dogs and cats of varying personalities and needs. I have my own menagerie at home and rarely get as much joy as I do caring for my dogs and cats.
Reviews
Teresa was super great with all 3 of our fur babies! Can’t wait to book again!
Teresa is so wonderful! She is a true animal lover and will care for your pets as if they’re her own. We always feel at ease knowing our pup is getting a good walk/play session with Teresa while we’re away at work. She communicates well and has been very flexible to work with changes to scheduling needs. I can’t recommend her enough!!
Teresa is absolutely fantastic. My cat adores her and looks forward to her visits, even though she comes to give her medication. I would hire Teresa again and again!
Teresa is fantastic. She’s always on time and my kitty absolutely adores her. She administers oral medication to her during her visits an
About Teresa M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have multiple years experience training young pups and caring for older dogs, giving meds, massages, and appropriate exercise. I have given shots, meds, and fluids to sick animals, and cared for animals recovering from trauma, medical procedures, and those that are dying. I’m also a devoted cat lover who’s read up on cat behavior and understands their primal need for a safe environment and building trust. I’m adaptable based on the animal’s needs, not my own.
Information Teresa M. would like to know about your pet
I know that dogs are individuals, not just a breed. Let me know about your dog’s needs and personality and I will adapt our time together to best suit them. I also understand that cats are not dogs and should not be treated as though they are. I will give your cat the space they need to retain their treasured independence while feeling safe and loved.
A typical day
I am an avid walker and love to go with dog company! I can take your dog to a local park for playtime or just for a jaunt around the neighborhood. I have experience with reluctant walkers as well as those doggies who have the energy to pull a chariot down the street! Most importantly, I know how to keep dogs safe while walking.
