TLC Animal Lover For Your Beloved

Pet care experience

Hello! First, please check my Calendar to see if I am available for your dates. Second, when you contact me, I'll need your approximate Arrival and Departure times. Third, I'll need your nearest cross streets and neigborhood name. My home base is Rosedale. If you only need drop-in visits, know that when I am already overnight sitting, I do take drop in visits. Ask me about them. IF they are within a reasonable distance to where I am sitting, I am able to take these requests. About Me: I Am A Full Time Pet Sitter. Unlike most pet sitters, I am with your pets 24/7, except to run short errands. I don't have another full time job that I need to be during the day, or evenings. I know Exactly how it feels to have to leave your precious animals and home in someone else's care. I've had to do that myself. It's hard. ? Trusting someone to be there and get to know your fur babies, someone who will love and cater to their individual needs, the way You would, is essential. That's where I come in. I'm Actually Much More Than A Pet Sitter. I made my living managing hotels 24/7, or running my custom floral and plant business ? ? for over 25 years, and I Loved It! In Addition To Pet Care: We all know, unexpected problems can pop up, plumbing, electrical, a fridge goes on the blink, all kinds of things that may require prompt attention. I will contact you, schedule necessary maintenance and repair calls, or also assist in ? plant and garden needs.? It's true, people will tell you their plants look better when they get home than before they left! ? PETS: I have no preference. I am happy to care for all sizes, shapes, and breeds, more to love. Like humans, they have their own individual quirks and personalities. That's what makes each one so special. I'm particularly good with elderly pets, giving them their meds, all their special needs that always make you worry and hesitate from traveling. It's Tough! ? I well know. ? Check my Calendar for my availability. ? My Schedule is open and flexible. I work all holidays. My Rates are fair, and generally range between $20 for Drop-Ins and up to $75 (maximum) per day/night, depending on you and your pets’ needs, the number you have, ? ? ? ? ? how often I would need to come over. I also have to consider the distance (logistics) from where I'll be sitting, also, if I am needed to stay overnight, weekends, holidays, etc. ? I'll Take Excellent Care Of Your Home. I'll bring in your mail ?, packages ? , load/unload the dishwasher, feed your fish,? ? rabbits ?, gerbils ? , take out garbage, turn outside lights on and off. I like a detailed list of what you'd like done while you're away. I'll take care of it. ? ? ❤️ ?? Meet And Greets: We can set up a convenient time to meet, discuss your individual needs, and see if it's a good fit. My Meet and Greets are normally around 1-3 PM, or evenings @ 7 PM, outside peak traffic times. I will answer any questions, or concerns you may have. My Home Base is Central Austin, however, I have worked all over the Austin and surrounding areas, up to 15 miles from my home base. I travel constantly. ? ? OVERNIGHT TRAVEL SITTING - includes walks / trips to dog park, feeding, meds, whatever you and your pets' daily routines are. ? ? If You Don't Need Me For Overnights - JUST Drop-In's, TRIPS TO YOUR HOME FOR FEEDING/WALKING, LITTER BOX CLEANING, CHECKING ON THINGS, or should you only need A COUPLE OF VISITS PER DAY, need me to provide SUPPLEMENTAL CARE IN TANDEM with a friend, or neighbor, we can discuss the number of dog walks or kitty visits and decide together on a fair rate. ? ? ? ? ? ? $55 is my BASE RATE for OVERNIGHT STAYS, more than 2 pets may be an additional charge. ? FACT: As we all know, Puppies are Precious, however, they do require extra attention and care. ? Happily, I Often Move From One Sit To The Next! ? My NORMAL ARRIVAL and DEPARTURE TIMES ? ARE @NOON-12:30 PM, however, I Always try to work with my client's needs, ? Schedules, and Flights. ✈️ We can arrange my Arrival and Departure times around your schedule. ✈️ ? ? Remember: I am a FULL TIME PET SITTER. I'm not rushing off to another job during my stay with your pets, as with most pet sitters. I do require internet access, network and password. My Mac is my traveling office. NOTE: If you only need occasional plant watering ? and checking on your house, message me. We can discuss it. ❤️ THE GOOD NEWS: My clients and their beloved's love me, and I love them!! Read their testimonials. ~ ? ~

Teri is Amazing! She stayed at our home through Hurricane Harvey with our two large Weimaraners and I knew they were in great hands. Not only is she great with animals, but her communication with us while we are away is something you rarely find. Teri was constantly posting photos and updating us on how the pups were doing. Our home was left in perfect condition and the dogs were happy. To top it all off, Teri has a fabulous personality and a kind spirit about her :)

Teri is awesome! Our pets were very well cared and kept our minds at ease during our last summer getaway. Teri provided daily updates (with pics) and was very easy to work with. We will rebook with Teri in the future!

Information Teri M. would like to know about your pet

I always appreciate any information I can get on a dog prior to caring for them, but I'm natural with animals. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, teacups to danes.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I am open to you and your dog's needs. If you only want me to come and walk and feed your pup, we need to discuss the length of time. All of my previous experiences, dogs were allowed to be in my homes night and day, either my own, or when I was dog sitting, and we were together the entire time. For me dogs are like people... only more fun sometimes! Extra house-sitting services Plants, mail, garden, calling for repair services if needed, etc. I have done all of this, including long and short stay property management. I owned a plant and flower business for 15 years, and I managed beach properties for just under 8 years.
