Dogs are my passion
Pet care experience
I'm a total dog lover, with 2 foster fail cuties of my own. I had an adorable rescue boy named Buddy for over 10 years that passed away at home in June 2017. He became very sick, and I did everything I could to take care of him until it was just his time. I was giving him oral medications, insulin injections, even IV fluids. This is how much I loved and cared for him. His death was very difficult, but I have been honoring him by helping other dogs. I volunteer at a rescue, where I have worked adoption shows, walked dogs of all sizes, and have fostered over 10 dogs. I have failed at fostering twice, and have adopted Mucho (August 2017) and Penny (April 2019). In addition to all of this, I was raised around dogs my entire life and all three of my sisters have dogs that I have loved and cared for as well.
Reviews
We have a very anxious dog including separation anxiety. Terri put our minds at ease right away with her experience. We have placed our little Cleo in her hands twice and we feel it has been a great fit! She was very capable of handling Cleo's little quirks, made sure she felt loved and comfortable, and was present most of the time. Cleo favorite thing is to cuddle near those who care for her. We really appreciated all the photos we received because we always miss Cleo so much!
Terri is an amazing dog sitter. She is always great to my dogs (Pug and Bugg) and they look forward to her dog sitting them. They are always so happy after spending time with Terri! She is truly a dog person with enjoys caring for them.
Terri is a great caretaker for her canine companion friends! Though she spoils her own pets, she is very compasionate for all dogs and handles herself well in many different situations. I have also seen her work well with dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes with no discrimination. I would trust Terri watching over my dogs, and that's saying a lot! It's safe to say, Terri is Bruno & Bella's favorite Aunt!

I have a fenced yard for potty breaks. The whole house is open to the dogs, but I do have several rooms in the house where I can separate your pup if he/she needs any kind of break or prefers to be alone or in a crate. My dogs have been around numerous other dogs, including 'cousins' and foster dogs I have taken care of, so they do get along with other dogs.
Information Terri Z. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or is on any medications. Also, please let me know if your dog has any kind of food/treat or toy aggression.
A typical day
My dogs are spoiled as far as toys go, so I have a wide variety of toys for your pup to enjoy. I can walk your pup in the neighborhood and there's a nearby park and walking path.

I'm currently working from home, so your pet will have an abundance of attention and numerous potty breaks. I also walk my dogs twice a day for the exercise, so I can walk your dog as well.
