Pet care experience

I will love your dog as you do!

I love all animals so much and I don’t ever see myself without animals in my life in one way or another. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets, so we can have lots of fun together! I will care for dogs of any size and any breed! Also, I have experience caring for cats, turtles, ducks, geese, bearded dragons, and even a hedgehog! While I’m not a professional trainer, if you have a puppy, I can happily continue with his or her training, stressing the familiar commands he or she is learning. These include “sit”, “stay”, “wait”, “come”, “up”, and “speak”, and any other commands you want me to work on with your dog. I have administered oral medications to the dogs in a pill pocket treat or in peanut butter or cheese. I have also administered injectable medications for diabetic animals. Also, I carry a fully-stocked pet emergency first aid kit in my car, and I am currently certified in International Open Academy’s Pet First Aid & CPR course. I have an 21 lb , 7-year-old Bichon Frise dog named Paddingtonand a 2-year old Bichon named Finnegan I try to take along to my house-/pet-sittings if feasible, so it is helpful if your dog gets along well with other dogs. If your pets do not prefer newcomers, I can usually make arrangements for my daughter to stay at my house while I'm house-sitting.

Terri is very nice but sadly, she did not take our dog for walks which was communicated well in the Meet and Greet. She only took him out for a very short no more than 5 minutes at a time. Our dog while small has lots of energy and separation anxiety so walking is beneficial for him and he loves to be outside. She agreed to the walking request and agreed to take the job but failed to walk him 2x per day.

Terri did a wonderful job taking care of our beagle for five days and four nights! She sent daily pictures and updates that made us feel reassured that our dog was healthy and happy! Thank you Terri!

Terri was so attentive to our elderly pets and she gave us incredible peace of mind while we were away. We so appreciated how communicative Terri was while we were gone and we are so grateful to her for staying with our pets. We would recommend Terri to anyone!

I don’t have any specific dog breeds as I believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I would love to meet your dog(s) prior to sitting with them, just so I can get familiar with their personality and let them smell me and get to know me a bit too. I am not dog CPR certified, but I do have a first aid book that gives the instructions on how to perform CPR on a dog and a cat.
