Pet care experience

Reactive/ aggressive dog experience

I have owned and trained my own stranger and dog reactive rescue for the past 2 years. I know how hard it can be to go on vacation because finding a babysitter with experience is hard. Working slowly and gaining trust is key and knowing triggers is essential in being sure that the dog can be managed properly while the owner is away. I've worked with trainers and read extensively on reactive dogs, so I understand how important it is to manage your dog's stress and be consistent with training. Therefore, any training regimens would be kept. I've worked with puppies, helping train friend's puppies so that their new furry friends can experience the world through a positive lens. I've done nail trims as long as the dog is willing, ear cleanings, and given pills or vitamins. I find it essential for owners to be able to go on vacation or out of town and not have to worry about their dogs. Therefore, any updates, pictures, etc will be given freely.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand safety and management for animals inside and outside the home. Ensuring no food eaten is left out or other endangerments are all securing put away. Enrichment and mental stimulation help keep animals calm while their owners are away and keeps them feel tired so they get the sleep that they need! Therefore, play time, mentally stimulating games, and walks would be a main focus to keep your pet feeling fulfilled till your happy return!

Terri was responsive and took great care of our dogs while we were away. They got plenty of exercise and were well taken care of. Will definitely use again if available for future vacations.

Terri was an amazing dog sitter! We were away camping with limited access to our phones, so I was super glad to have a responsible and reliable person to watch the dogs. When Terri met our dogs, it was clear she had experience with excited dog personalities. She was super respectful of our home and we came home to happy and healthy dogs. I look forward to booking her again!
