Fur Baby Nana

My whole life has been about loving gardening and animals! I've had Dogs, Cats, Birds and Cattle. I was very hands-on with all of them, from babies until their final days. I learned to groom our Poodle at age 12. Groomed my mother's Cocker Spaniel, as well as my Miniature Schnauzer, Zucker. He was my Empty Nest Medicine! My last, was my Basset Hound, Carlie, who was an absolute mess! Girl with an attitude and kept me laughing with her funny ways. Spinner was my last cat, who loved seeing a brush in my hand! I can't think of them for very long, without tears coming. I miss them all. My Cows were my greatest teachers that loved me through proving to myself that I wasn't crazy. They will listen. They meet in the middle. And their eyes always dig deep into your heart, just as any fur baby. I have Animal Health Tech experience. I've assisted with birthing dogs, cats and cattle. Familiar with administering meds, etc. And puppy massages for a little relief of arthritis have been one my fur babies always enjoyed!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm not able to have pets of my own, at this time. But don't get me wrong! I'm praying for the day I move into a home I own, so I can bring more unconditional love energy into my personal environment, once again! What better way to mend a yearning heart in the meantime, than to share what love and care I can give to your fur baby(ies), anytime you need someone to fill in for you!

We’ve met with Teresa for meet and greet and Teresa seemed like a great sitter, so we’ve booked her for 8 days to cover for Europe trip. We’ve paid a huge amount of money for our Europe travel and wanted to make sure that we get a reliable and well rated sitter. Everything was going ok, until the day before start of the booking. We needed to leave for our trip early on the day of booking and I’ve messaged Teresa to make sure that we are still on schedule, and I’ve seen that Teresa is reading my messages, but didn’t provide a reply. She ignored my messages for the whole day prior to us leaving and because I couldn’t jeopardize our trip - I had to execute plan B on short notice and I asked my friend from Atlanta to come and sit with our fur babies. I cancelled Rover reservation and had to drive to Atlanta and back for seven hours to pick my friend up. My advice to Teresa is to NOT ignore your customers next time and stay in closer contact.Customer communication is paramount, but Terese doesn’t understand it, and she blamed me and my “Anxiety”.

Took excellent care of my sweet girl for the week. Looks like they went on some fun adventures! Teresa also made sure to stick around until my flight landed just in case. Thanks for your kindness to my baby, Teresa!

Teresa is so sweet and helpful! She even came back to our house since my husband was running late from the airport.

Schedule

I receive Social Security. So, my current work schedule is very flexible. I schedule personal appointments outside any pet sitting schedules, whenever possible. I prefer staying at the house with your fur babies, for the entire scheduled time. Prior to booking, I do inform clients of any already scheduled appointments during dates they are needing overnight sitting. If they're not comfortable with the idea of their pet(s) being left alone during those appointments, I completely understand if they'd rather find another sitter with no prior commitments.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Teresa can host up to 1 pet per night
I'm truly empathetic to any special needs your pet may require. I am more than happy to oblige. This is one of the major reasons why I request meet and greets prior to your pet(s) being left in my care!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
