I am retired and currently looking for part-time work doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I am patient, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pet with the same love and attention I would give my own.

I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outdoors. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends in their homes and understand the importance of maintaining each pet's normal routine. I'm also happy to welcome pets into my home, where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment while you're away.

Information Terry L. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is unique, so I like to learn about their personality, age, routine, and favorite activities before their stay. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or an older senior who enjoys a slower pace, I'll tailor my care to meet their individual needs. Please let me know if your pet has any special care requirements, medications, or needs more frequent potty breaks. For pets that stay in my home, you'll have peace of mind knowing there are no children or other dogs living in the household, providing a calm, quiet environment where your pet can feel safe and relaxed.

A typical day

My home offers a safe and welcoming environment for your pet. The fully fenced backyard includes shaded areas to keep dogs comfortable during warm weather, along with a separate potty area. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood and providing plenty of playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Before your pet's stay, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to learn about their personality, routine, and any special care instructions. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you're away.

Treating Pets Like Family

Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pet's needs, whether that's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply offering companionship and affection. I know how important consistency is, so I follow each pet's routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and communicative. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide the same level of love and attention I would want for my own animals.

Terry has cared for my dogs for the past five years, and I truly cannot imagine trusting anyone else with them. We have two Mini Australian Shepherds (26 and 28 pounds) and a 4-pound Yorkie, and Terry is wonderful with all three. She is attentive, detail-oriented, and treats them as if they were her own. She spends quality time with them and makes sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I especially appreciate the thoughtful texts and photos she sends while I’m away, which give me complete peace of mind whether I’m gone for a weekend or a week-long trip. Terry is loving, kind, dependable, and exceptionally trustworthy. All three of our girls adore her, and it’s clear they feel safe and loved in her care. I have never had a single concern in the five years she has been our pet sitter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and provide outstanding care, Terry is everything you could want in a pet sitter. I trust her wholeheartedly and recommend her without hesitation. Your pets will be in the very best hands.

Finding someone you trust to care for your dogs is never easy, especially when they're family. Our two dogs—a black Lab and an Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix—are truly like our children. One is an elderly sweetheart who needs a little extra care, and the other is young, energetic, and always ready for adventure. We don't trust many people with them, but we trust Terry completely. We've known Terry for many years, and she has cared for our dogs time and time again. Every single time she comes over, our dogs get so excited to see her. That excitement says everything about the love, kindness, and attention she gives them. She genuinely treats them as if they were her own, and it gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. Not only does Terry provide exceptional care for our dogs, but she also takes wonderful care of our home. She is incredibly responsible, respectful, and keeps everything spotless. When we return, you would never know she stayed in our house—except for the fact that we're greeted by two happy, relaxed, and well-loved dogs. Terry is reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, and truly one of a kind. We couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone who will care for both their pets and their home with the same level of love and dedication they would themselves.
