We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill.

Information Terri M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your dog likes to do and their routine. . Do they get along with other dogs? Like to walk and how often? Like music in the background? Any allergies or anxiety? I’m here to help make this a curated experience for your dog so they’ll be happy and you will know they’re taken care of while you’re away.

A typical day

I love to walk by the park or around the neighborhood but will cater to the needs and requests of the dog/owner. Some dogs just need TLC or companionship and some dogs love to walk and play.

Retired Mom. Love Dogs & walks!! 😀

Pet care experience

We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care.

Terri is professional and friendly, and my reserved pup was quick to warm up right away. I highly recommend Terri!

Terri sent lots of updates and pics of my pup. She kept me updated on how things were going. This was the first time my pup stayed with someone she didn't know well. I was a little concerned my pup wouldn't take to a sitter. I was pleased that my pup took really well to Terri. I'd use Terri again and definitely recommend to my friends. Thank you!

Terri couldn’t have been any more lovely! She was so helpful and accommodating for my senior beagle with separation anxiety. Exacerbated by his first lengthy road trip. She provided a calming presence for my dog and reassurance for me. You will not be disappointed if Terri is your pet’s caregiver!
