About Terralyn S.

Communication

100% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour
80% bookings with photo updates

Skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I love to play, snuggle, and go on walks with pets. I love learning each of their unique personalities. I like to send you pictures and videos of your pets while you’re away to keep you updated as often as possible. Communication is key!

Information Terralyn S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any unique behaviors or signals that they use to communicate (such as sitting in a certain spot when it’s time for dinner or if they need to go outside). It’s also helpful to know what their typical daily routine is like, so that I can match it as closely as possible (for example, if they typically get walks in the morning, or play time right before a meal).

A typical day

My favorite activities include play time and pets and snuggles in the house. If you have a backyard or a walkable neighborhood, I would love to spend time outside in the fresh air with your pet.

Loving and reliable dog sitter

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience dog and house sitting. I currently can’t adopt a pet of my own (due to current living situation), so I love to spend time with furry friends whenever I get the chance!

Terra was wonderful. She connected with our pets right away and was clear, communicative, and reliable leading up to and throughout the weekend. We're so grateful, would absolutely recommend her services!

Terra was a lifesaver who stepped up for a last minute booking and took excellent care of my dog for a long weekend!! She communicated well, paid lots of attention to my dog, and was a star! Would definitely recommend and will likely book again for future sitting!

We had the pleasure of having Terralyn care for our 5-year-old Labradoodle, Bailey, and we wholeheartedly recommend her as a dog sitter. Terralyn is a true dog lover—times ten! Her passion for animals is immediately evident, and it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely responsible during her stay at our home, respecting our space and caring for Bailey as if he were her own. She made sure to walk him on his usual path, keeping up his routine, and sent us regular photo updates that we really appreciated. Terralyn is professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, Bailey adored her—and that speaks volumes. We would absolutely have her back again and feel confident recommending her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.

Terra is a fantastic, caring dog sitter. She has been caring for our two dogs for a year and a half. The dogs love her almost as much as we do. She sends us pictures of the dogs playing, which makes us happy. We are always at ease when Terra is with our dogs since we know they will be well cared for.
