Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. Growing up watching Animal Planet and Dogs 101 made me fall in love with these furry companions. I have walked dogs in both New York City and Los Angeles. I have very fond memories of walking my great uncle’s dog, Lucky, along the streets of NYC at night. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds ranging from pitbulls, to shitzus, to labradors, so I am experienced with an array of different dog breeds. Now, I am a part of Guide Dogs for the Blind and am training to graduate puppies to guide dogs. Dalton is one of the labs that I helped train that you will see in my photo gallery. My two best friends, shih tzu mixes, were the sweetest and goofiest companions of my life for 13 years. They passed a few years ago, and I miss them a lot. At the same time, I am so grateful I could be a part of their lives and that they could be a part of mine. I will make sure to give the same love and care to your beloved furry companions as I had done for my own.

Information Teresa S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors to account for before I meet with them. I would be more than happy to accommodate them. Also, any allergies would be important to communicate as well as house rules like no sitting on couches or beds or yes sitting on couches and beds are allowed.
A typical day
We can play catch in my fenced backyard or fenced tennis court. There is also a small park in my neighborhood we can play catch in with my long leash. There is also a hike about 3 min. from my house if they need a lot of exercise. I have toys like nylabones, kongs, tennis balls and am happy to take any toys they love from their home if needed. I have beef dog treats available as well. My neighborhood is very quiet and is on a mountain, so they will be safe around my neighborhood. If they need cuddles or pets, I am always available for those!
