Information Terri V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pets routine so we can keep things as normal ass possible while you are away. Consistently it important. Due to working several years in veterinary medicine I am experienced in administering any medication and caring for any health concern

A typical day

My typical visit with your dog will involve keeping your same routine whether that be starting with a walk, play outside or inside or just letting outside to do their business. Some dogs and cats don’t ask for much and just want the company. That is ok too. I will just sit and talk with them during our time together. I can also water indoor and outdoor plants, bring in mail or anything ear you need but my first priority will always be your pets

Passion for your pets!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm just a natural born animal lover and have been surrounded by them all my life. I have over 15years experience working with animals in veterinary care and have a B.S in Animal Health Sciences. I have had experience with just about every breed and temperament of dog there is. While my passion is for dogs that does not mean I don't also love cats and have never been without one for a pet. My experience also includes caring for reptiles, rodents, pigs and even primates! My most fulfilling work was my time working as an animal health technician in an animal shelter. It brought me pure heartbreak and pure joy. It was so sad to see what conditions brought the animals to the shelter but was also rewarding knowing that I was making a difference in their lives. During my time working in shelters, I gained experience interacting with both shy dogs and aggressive dogs and am comfortable with both. While I've always had pets, I stepped away from working with animals to work in health care some years ago. I really miss the interaction with animals and caring for them. It is my one true passion. I feel I have an instinct into how an animal is feeling and am able to meet that need. I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure.

Terri did a great job with my very opinionated and large cat. He has not come out of hiding for prior sitters, but did for her!. He was delighted to have me home, and I was happy to have him well taken care of while I was gone.

Terri did a great job with my cat Azi. She provided everything she needed while I was away. I recommend having Terri caring for your fur babies.
