Active Retiree Who Loves Animals

Pet care experience

I'm a retiree who recently lost her cat after 20 years of companionship. I have raised four children and lost count of how many dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, turtles, etc. we have bred and loved throughout the decades. Living on a fixed social security income gets more difficult each day so I'm looking to offer my love and companionship to your pet in exchange for fair fees through this website. I recently moved to St. Joseph and am looking to find local families to assist. I can offer excellent references having been looking after the dogs of two families who won't consider anyone else but me to care for their pooches. I am a block from Kiwanis Park where we have two excellent grassy fenced fields for both large and small dogs and my neighbors are all dog owners and lovers. I am in excellent health and very strong so I can handle most sized active animals.

Terry understands our older dog and is very kind to her. Minuet has a definite routine. Terry walked her as far as she would go, played with her until Minuet was ready for bed. We are so very appreciative of her care for Minuet.

Terry was great with Dudley. He got lots of new adventures on his walks and daily 'trips' with Terry. She kept him engaged and provided lots of stimulation. He definitely enjoyed his stay and came home happy.

Terry is always a pleasure to have at our home to take care of our dog. Minuet loves her and the surprises she brings (treats or a dog friend).

Information Terry C. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there are any health issues or peculiar traits of the dog. I love all breeds and can handle most sizes unless they are not trained to a lease.

A typical day

I live in a very dog friendly community and live one block from Kiwanis Park where I take my charges to the dog part there at least twice daily. If I know the park will be muddy I then either go to the beach or walk them along the bluff in downtown St. Joseph. We love to play fetch and I try to teach obedience commands.
