Pet care experience

Professional animal snugglers

Hi, I'm Terrie! I'm the person your pets will accidentally like more than you and may file a formal complaint when I leave. Don't worry -they'll still be thrilled when you come home! I'm basically a part time butler, snack distributor, belly rub technician, professional poop scooper, personal paparazzi and a humble servant to whichever four legged CEO is currently in charge. If it has paws, claws, wings, or a personality bigger than its body, I'm probably going to adore it. Pet care is truly a family affair in our home. My family is very hands on and shares my love of animals, which means your pets get plenty of extra attention, affection, care, and at least three separate rounds of “who’s the cutest?” commentary. I’m the proud human of 3 huskies, 10 cats, 2 chameleons, and a fish crew - so chaos, cuddles, and a little bit of fur are basically my normal. In our house, dishing out treats is an Olympic sport, and I am absolutely going for gold. I’ve mastered the art of negotiating with pups and earning cat approval. My mission? Keep tails wagging, whiskers twitching, and pet parents completely worry-free. I'll send plenty of updates, lots of adorable photos, and return your pets happy, loved, and only slightly convinced they've hired me as their new personal assistant. New Pet Friends = Mandatory Meet & Sniff! 🐾 I have one tiny rule: every new pet friend gets a meet & greet before we make things official. I like to let your pet decide if I'm worthy of joining their staff, and hopefully earning a tail wag, nose boop, or dramatic cat stare of approval. It's the perfect time to learn their routines, favorite treats, secret hiding spots, and any adorable quirks - so when booking day arrives, we're already best buds! Travel Policy: If you're more than 15 miles away, there's a $10 travel fee per visit will be added to help keep my gas tank as happy as your pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Big, small, fluffy, scaly, feathery, or suspiciously crunchy - I love them all. I've cared for everything from tarantulas and snakes to rabbits and hedgehogs, so I don't scare easy. Your pet will be treated like royalty, spoiled beyond reason, and lovingly convinced this is their all inclusive vacation resort. Belly rubs? Unlimited. Snacks? Duh. Personal fan club? Already formed. I'll happily accept my role as their humble servant while they run the household.

Terrie was really kind and great with my pets. She was really communicative and reliable. I would 1000% use her again if needed.

Terrie was great with Utah and met her every need. She has great communication and made me feel at ease while on vacation. 100% would rebook her to take care of my baby. Thank you Terrie! 🫶🏻

Terrie has been amazing with both of my girls. Completely fine when I decided to add another dog and has been there through tons of chaos. Cleanups, house messes, you name it. She’s the best and my girls love her!

This is my first time using Rover and I couldn't have picked a better sitter for my pets. Terrie exceeded all expectations and made this a great experience. We would definitely recommend Terrie to anyone and will be using her again in the future.

Schedule

I have an embarrassingly open schedule. Rain? No problem. Sunshine? Even better. I'll happily brave the weather for potty breaks, neighborhood adventures, epic games of fetch, or a cuddle session worthy of an Olympic medal. Your pets set the agenda - I'm just their very enthusiastic assistant. Life loves to throw curveballs, so I do my best to accommodate last minute schedule changes whenever I can. Whether you're stuck at work, planning a spontaneous getaway, or your meeting magically turned into "one more hour," I've got you covered.

Spill the kibble! 🐾 Any secret talents, medication, weird habits, escape artist tendencies, favorite snacks, sworn enemies (looking at you, vacuum), or anything else I should know before we become besties? Has anyone been banned from PetSmart? Do they fake injuries for attention? Are they secretly fueled by spite and shredded paper towels?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
