Communicative Canine Companion!
Pet care experience
I adore dogs! Being an elementary school teacher, my flexible summer schedule is the perfect opportunity to channel my inner dog lover and give your four-legged family member some extra TLC! Not long after beginning my teaching career did I realize the similarities between educating young minds and caring for dogs, something I have been doing since childhood. Both require a great deal of patience, insight, flexibility, and a compassionate spirit. At the heart of working with a dog or a child, with their unique personalities, talents, and interests, is building a relationship rooted in trust and positive nurturing. Both pose their challenges at times, but at the end of the day are very rewarding for me! Many of my fondest childhood memories involve my cockapoo Tori and throughout my life I have experience fostering and caring for a variety of pets including dogs of all sizes and ages. Most recently, I lived in Nicaragua for 3 years where I spent time volunteering at an animal shelter that rescued dogs off the streets and found them forever homes.
Reviews
Teresa was very dependable and a clear communicator. Thanks for taking care of Zuzu for us!
Teresa did an awesome job with drop-in visits for my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixes. I know they were well taken care of, as the daily pictures she sent show. She was unable to make one of the visits, but took it upon herself to get a replacement for that day - I really appreciated that she went out of her way to take care of this, and everything worked out great! She was great with the "boys", and I know they really appreciated her daily visits. I would very highly recommend Teresa for visits, walking or any other dog care. I am looking forward to working with her again, as her schedule permits! A+ Job!
Teresa is a great family friend and has watched our dogs many times! She is the most caring and selfless person I have ever met and has your furry family members as priority number one when she's around! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care about their pet's well-being.
