Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, flexible pet sitter.
I've taken care of/had the pleasure of sharing my time with the following: dogs, cats, farm animals (horses, cows, chickens, turkeys), snakes, tarantulas and turtles. I've also cared for ill pets/pets with very specific daily routines. My wife and I currently have two loving, energetic dogs (2, 7) and three clingy cats (11, 11, 10).

Safety, trust & environment
I'll ask questions to determine the level/frequency/type of care your pet requires, and will ask that you're specific in your requests. A meet and greet will be required, barring emergency circumstances.
Ratings and reviews
TJ saved Christmas! He's so sweet, kind, and wonderful with both dogs and humans! My dogs were content and happy when I returned from my time away. He gave me peace of mind. I can't say enough good things about him.


We are very grateful for meeting TJ. This was our first experience with trusting another with sole care of our dog (family member). Upon meeting TJ, we immediately sensed a kindness, sincerity and trust in his voice while he offered insight about himself and his attitude toward pet care. He listened intently to how we take care of our pet asking questions to make sure he understood our concerns and routines. While away, he kept our communication open all hours of the day; elevating our comfort level. Confidently, we can say TJ was a great choice. We would hire him again and suggest anyone looking for quality care of their pet, to give TJ an honest consideration. You will not be disappointed.

Terry did an amazing job as always. He's our go-to sitter and does a fantastic job taking care of our babies.


Leaving our elderly beloved Tucker is not easy for us, as he is at a stage of life that requires a quality of presence and attentiveness it's hard to image others being able to offer. TJ's care for Tucker was beyond our expectations and allowed both of us to relax and enjoy a day trip for a family gathering together, which has become increasingly rare in the past year due to Tucker's needs. We've been trading off events and planning work schedules so that someone is nearly always home with Tucker, so it's rare we've gotten to enjoy events or outings together that have us away from the house for more than an hour or two. TJ's skill in helping us feel at ease from the first phone conversation extended through a generous Meet and Greet session and all the way through us arriving home from our daytrip. Tucker was comfortable enough to eat and rest and potty under TJ's care, and TJ kept us up to date throughout the day with photos and videos. His kindness, authentic care and compassion for animals, and his professionalism make TJ a stellar pet sitter. He asked good questions and was proactive in taking the lead as caregiver before we headed out the door. Since we are located outside of TJ's usual service area, the charge was significantly more than the $35 posted, so just be prepared for that depending on where you live. For us, it was worth it, and overall cost might be a factor to consider when choosing a quality pet sitter.

Terry has been amazing. He's went above and beyond when it came to sitting for Yuki and Koda. I highly recommend his services and we will 100% be returning to him for future sitting needs.


Excellent! Terry was very considerate of our home and extremely accommodating with the small details and requests. Communicated regularly with text and photos. Most importantly our kids loved him. If you're looking for a house sitter you need look no further.

Schedule
I'm currently very flexible with scheduling as I mostly do contract and-or gig work online. I'm available every day of the week, and generally any time requested.
