I cannot sing Teresa’s praises enough- she takes great pride in taking care of our fur baby and I could not be more impressed or appreciative. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and personable-animals have heightened intuition and it came of no surprise when our puppy bonded with her without hesitation. Teresa has consistently gone above and beyond, highly responsive with clear communication and flexible to accommodate schedule changes. Most importantly, our puppy is safe and loved with Teresa…cannot ask for anything more!

I have used Terry several times to care for my 2 small dogs. She always takes great care of them and they are always happy to see her. Her love for animals is evident the minute you meet her. She's extremely responsible, reliable and communicates very well. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will continue to use her in the future.

I am a retired scientist who enjoys spending my free time gardening, walking, practicing Pilates, and—most of all—caring for animals. I truly enjoy dog walks, park visits, and building meaningful relationships with the pets and families I serve. I provide dependable, compassionate pet care, including regular visits, dog walking, and transportation to veterinary appointments to help keep your furry family members healthy and happy. Services Offered: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits Boarding House Sitting Medication administration (including injections) Special care upon request, such as diapering, assisted feeding, and cleansing With over 25 years of experience as a pet owner and caregiver, I have cared for animals with allergies, cardiac and pulmonary disease, heart failure, dementia, and incontinence. I am attentive, patient, and comfortable managing complex care needs. Caring for animals is both a blessing and a privilege. I pour my heart into every pet I care for and treat each one as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times and treated like family. My boarding services include regular neighborhood walks and park visits, always conducted safely using secure leashes, pet-appropriate gear, and routes suited to your pet’s needs and energy level. Playtime is structured, supervised, and balanced with plenty of rest, affection, and cuddling. I strictly follow each pet owner’s feeding instructions, schedules, and care preferences to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I am experienced in administering medications, including oral medications and injections/shots, and I do so carefully and confidently according to your veterinarian’s guidance. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home, free from hazards, and I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and shared spaces remain secure. Small pets are welcome to enjoy free access to the main living area, including cozy couch cuddling, while always being monitored to ensure their comfort and safety. I prioritize positive experiences, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet parents, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for, safe, and truly loved while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

I’m passionate about keeping dogs both physically and mentally stimulated. During our time together, we’ll play engaging games, explore new and familiar scents throughout my neighborhood, and enjoy visits to the nearby park. Walks are tailored to your dog’s comfort level, ensuring they get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and positive enrichment—while having fun every step of the way.

To ensure the best possible care for your dog, please share any important information such as medication needs, feeding instructions, allergies, behavioral considerations, mobility limitations, or special routines. I have a particular fondness for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Chihuahuas, but I truly enjoy caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I am experienced in administering medications, including injections, and will always follow your instructions carefully.
