Providing Cuddles & Care

UPDATE 2026: For personal reasons, I no longer offer services for Shepards. Sorry for the inconvenience. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and loved them all, especially dogs. Having a dog in the house was a no-no. So when I moved out at 19, I got my first dog - an indoor dog, and have had a dog or 2 most of my adult life—mostly Labrador Retrievers but also several mutts and a sweet little Mini Schnauzer. Fortunately, most of my dogs have lived long lives, so I have experience with senior dogs and dogs with health issues. I love taking care of dogs and walking them to places they enjoy hanging out at. They are the best company!

Safety, trust & environment

I no longer provide boarding in my home since our community doesn't have a fenced-in dog park and we're only allowed to walk dogs on certain streets. Some dogs don't like riding on the golf cart so it was difficult keeping them on their normal routine.

Terri was a great dog sitter, staying at our house for a long weekend. She is very friendly and a real dog lover. She was prompt, followed our instructions, and sent daily photos. Kody had a calm, happy staycation in Terri's care.

Terri was fantastic with Rocky! She house-sat for me last night and gave me complete peace of mind. Since Rocky is a sixteen-year-old senior dog, finding someone patient and attentive is incredibly important to me. Terri took wonderful care of him and was very respectful of my home. Highly recommend!

I was really nervous about leaving my 12 and 13 year old dogs for 9 days. Terri asked the right questions. We have outdoor cats that we've taken on after someone dumped them, and she fed them, too. We have a cockatiel who whistled and talked to her during the interview. All the pets loved her and responded well to her. She was prompt in sending photos and updates of the indoor dogs and bird. Whenever I asked a question, she was quick to respond via text. And, she was 10 minutes early on the day we left! When our return flight was delayed, we were in constant communication. As it was only an hour late, as we boarded, I texted her hat she could leave. Terri took care of my house and my pets. She is very dependable and all the pets were happy! I'm happy, too! I would recommend Terri.

My pups absolutely loved Terri when they met her for a meet and greet. I felt at ease leaving for a weekend which is typically a struggle for me. Terri sent a lot of updates and multiple pictures of the pups. I look forward to using her again.

Terri did a great job with our dogs. I felt very comfortable while I was gone knowing they were in good hands. Thanks again!
