Availability

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.

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.

Information Terrie D. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

Every guest is treated like the tiny (or giant) furry overlord they truly are. With a massive backyard where zoomies are encouraged. Every day includes important business meeting sniffs, wilderness expeditions around the yard, squirrel surveillance, competitive stick collecting, dramatic leaf investigations, and collecting all the belly rubs they can handle. Your pup will leave happy, spoiled, slightly exhausted, and probably wondering why their staff at home isn't this well-trained.

Pet care experience

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.

Terrie was absolutely amazing with our two kitties! I knew they were in good hands our entire trip. She was attentive, kind, and even took out our trash and washed their food bowls. Could not recommend her enough!
