Your Pets Pal

Hello My name is Terrence, an aspiring professional dog trainer & previously a part-time Vet Technician at the Columbia Pike Animal hospital. The love and appreciation I have for all animals is undeniable especially dogs! Just can't get enough of them. Growing up I've always had a dog or two to take care of and with my experience at the Animal hospital, I'm accustomed to dogs of all types from Mastiffs Pitbulls & St. Bernards to Yorkshire terriers, Miniature Pinschers & Pugs. I'll to treat your four-legged family member as a member of my own while being professional by exceeding expectations. Thank you for your time, I'd love to take care of your dog(s), build a relationship & enjoy some fun activities!

Great sitter. Was able to easily handle our not so easy, leash anxious dog without issues.

Terrence did an amazing job with River!! I was nervous to leave my 5 month old pup for the first time, but he made the process seamless and stress free. From the meet and greet, to drop off, and throughout the weekend until pickup, Terrence communicated consistently and I really enjoyed all of the pictures and daily updates! I could tell River loved his time there! I will definitely be rebooking for my next vacation.

Schedule

Pet care is my routine! Dogs are seldom left alone and receive plenty of exercise and fresh air. If I have to go into the office for work, my girlfriend who is also a rover sitter takes over during that time.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets a very secured in my apartment. I typically will keep 1 dog at a time unless unless it’s a repeat client and both owners are aware. While on walks, I never let dogs off leash. Any dog parks we visit are fenced as well

A typical day

Typically we include 3 long walks which total to about 2 miles or more per day for bigger dogs. Smaller dogs vary with walk distance, depending on their fatigue. I live within shirt walking distance to 3 dog parks where most of our energy is spent.

Once a friend always a friend. I like to make long standing relationships with pets and their parents this ensures trust and comfort when earned along the way! *Disclaimer* My rates may fluctuate due to the season. However, I typically lock prices for returning pet parents!
