Information Terry R. S. would like to know about your pet

I'm open to taking care of ALL types and breeds of dogs, male or female, old and young. Every dog(s) gets a chance. I will follow your pets schedule and will make adjustments as necessary. No matter how much or how little they may need to be exercised, played with, or pet, I’ll adjust accordingly. The more I get to know them, about Maybe any possible allergies or dietary concerns, I should be aware of. Moreover, if there are any particular types of activities or preferences, just let me know. I can tailor the outdoor time to suit. I have all styles of toys for them to play with, tug on, and chew on. Plenty of fetch toys, ropes and frisbees are available for play time in and outdoors. I have a multitude of pet care items available including: paw/facial wipes, pee pads, kitty litter, baggies, dry/wet food and treats. Extra blankets and towels are prepared and ready. Additional back up items include food/water bowls, leashes, harnesses and crates of all sizes. Anything to help lighten the load and the trip to go smoother. Making each pet feel as comfortable and safe as I can make it, is always the goal. Lastly, I would prefer if they have all of their proper vaccinations and their shots are up to date. Thank you.

Terry was absolutely AMAZING with my dog! Given that this was a last minute booking during a holiday, I was super grateful he took him in. Terrys house is perfect for dogs as well. He has a huge backyard so much space for him to run around. I was updated constantly with lots of photos which made me feel so at ease. 10000% recommend and will definitely be using Terry again for future stays.

Terry was absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly kind and sent us daily photos and updates of our dog. During that time, our dog’s mood improved more than ever before. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Terry again!

Terry was an excellent dogsitter for our Ajax and Phoenix! We had to make a booking last minute and he was more than accommodating to make it happen. He was very communicative about the well-being of pups throughout their time with him. Pictures were great and they seemed to really enjoy their time with him. I highly recommend Terry to anyone looking for a sitter.

I've never had a pet stay at an individual sitter/boarder, but Terry helped me understand the process and was clear with communication Elune, my Sheppard/Lab mix, seemed very happy with her visit, and Terry sent a lot of pictures, which helped keep my mind at ease. 10/10 would recommend.
