Caring for your furry loved ones!
Pet care experience
I'm a massive fan of pets of all breeds, having had dogs and cats of all sizes throughout my life (including raising one puppy). I know they are apart of the your family and deserve to be treated as such. I would love to walk or watch your pet to keep them healthy and happy while you're away or in need of assistance. Growing up, my family had small- and medium-sized terriers. I have been sitting and walking for over five years on Rover and have helped take care of puppies, kittens, senior critters, and everything in-between. I am now pet-less in Seattle and am looking to help out fellow animal lovers! I have a flexible, remote job so I can give walks most times of the day in the Seattle area. I am available for pet sitting across the Puget Sound. I understand the importance of following your home’s routines for the pets, plants, and other small things that need taking care of. I believe in open communication and keeping you informed of your pet’s well being. I am willing to send daily updates and photos, too! Questions I may have for you: Does your pet have any triggers? How long can they be alone? Are there any non-pet related, household items that should be addressed (like watering of plants, trash pickup day, etc.)?
Reviews
This was our first time leaving Piper with a sitter since she joined our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Terry was very patient with our shy girl and great about communicating regularly. We look forward to working with him again in the future!
Terry is the kindest and most trustworthy pet sitter. He is always on time, and keeps us updated through our trips. Both Stella and Olly (or dog and cat) are so much at ease when we come back. Stella is always so excited to see Terry, and even Olly (who doesn't like many people), comes down to say hi to him. Both my spouse and I have peace of mind when Terry stays over, we know our home and fur babies are in the best hands.
Terry watched our dog recently and did a great job. We appreciated him sending a pic everyday and staying open with his communication. Our dog can be a handful sometimes and often tries to escape the yard and the day before we left, found a new escape route and as a result we had Terry take him out on a long lead and Terry was very flexible to these late changes! He kept our house in great shape and our dog was happy and healthy when we got home. We were very appreciative of Terry watching our dog!
Terry was incredibly accommodating, communicative, thoughtful and immediately bonded with our new rescue pup, Goose! He was very respectful of the house and made our time away an easy one because we never had to worry about the caliber of care our dog was receiving. Will hire again and recommend with no reservations!
About Terry S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am able to watch your dog in your own home and neighborhood to help them stay calm and happy in their space. Their care is usually directed by the owner, but I use my years of experience when I need to troubleshoot. I also work with the Rover hotline if any safety issues arise to make sure your pets stay healthy in my care.
Information Terry S. would like to know about your pet
I will work to make sure your dog is as comfortable as they can be while the parent is away. Also, I love cuddling with dogs after I have earned their trust!
A typical day
I love walking dogs in neighborhoods and parks. If the owners are comfortable and the dog(s) are trained, tossing a ball in an enclosed area is always fun. I have also taken dogs on hikes with owners permission. Lounging on the couch your furry animals is also a fun time! If there is an activity they enjoy, let me know!
