Pet care experience

"Every Pet Deserves a Paw-some day"

I’ve been caring for animals mostly dogs since I was 8 years old. I also had a horse to care for at 10 years old. My father raised beagles, so I’ve truly grown up surrounded by dogs. I was responsible for our family dog’s daily care, and that experience has stayed with me into adulthood. Since then, I’ve had 2 labs and one lab mix, and my current dog is a 12-year-old Lab/Australian Shepherd mix. Recently, I have been helping a friend with her pet care business and realized I LOVE it! To me, a house just isn’t a home without a pet.

Teresa was great and took good care of my dog and cat. She was very responsive and I would definitely recommend using Teresa to care for your animals!

Teresa is an amazing pet parent herself and has a love for all animals. I have had first hand experience with Teresa to witness the love and care she has for her own animal. She is a kind soul who is attentive to her pets needs. Your pet will be in the best of care with Teresa.

Teresa is a true dog lover!!! She is responsible and will care for your dog like it’s a member of her family. I know, because she took care of my dog for many years when I had to work late or on vacation. You can rest easy placing your pet in her care.

Teresa has been my friend for almost 30 years. I have watched her be a dog mom to 3 black lab mixes. She is an animal lover with a big heart. I have been blessed to have her cat sit for me when I travel. She is dependable as the day is long and never worry when my animals are in her care. She is the best!!

Teresa is the greatest! She has taken care of my Golden Retriever mutt, Maggie, for over 15 years, and I truly couldn’t imagine a better person to trust with my dog. Every time Teresa came over, Maggie would light up with excitement — wagging tail, happy wiggles, the whole thing. It was obvious how much she loved spending time with Teresa. Teresa has a real heart for dogs. She’s patient, kind, and incredibly attentive to their needs. I always felt completely at ease knowing Maggie was in her care, whether it was for a quick visit or walk or a longer stay. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Teresa is that person. I recommend her without hesitation.
