Pet care experience

Animal lover since I was born!

I've had pets since I was born from dogs, cats, hamsters, a guinea pig, a duck, fish and turtles. I began training dogs when I was 12. I board the dogs for my neighbors in my building, and they gave me the idea to take on more fur babies as I work hybrid. I am on the office Tuesday through Thursday so times of availability may vary those days. My 11 yr old daughter has also grown up around animals and knows how to behave around them to put them at ease. She is my pet whisperer. We give great cuddles, belly rubs, and walks!

Tez is reliable as always and pretty much the only person I trust with my cats. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail she puts into everything — my cats can be messy sometimes, and she’ll even help sweep up scattered litter or take care of little things like resetting the lockbox on my door back to zero before she leaves. It’s such a small thing, but it really reflects how thoughtful and thorough she is. I always have peace of mind knowing my cats are in her care.

Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Tez took such wonderful care of my cats during a snowstorm and difficult conditions. I would recommend her without hesitation!

This was our first time having Tez watch over out cats as we were out of town and we couldn't have been happier. This is the longest we have left them and the daily updates and pictures from Tez were such a comfort. When we got home I could tell how well they were taken care of 😺

Tez was great watching our 2 elder tabbies!!! I hope she is always available whenever we need her! She really understood both of our cat’s different personalities. Our family loved getting her updates and pictures each day. Our house was left nice and tidy as well!

Safety, trust & environment

I always spend time with a new boarder to help each fur baby get acclimated including my 2 cats with their new house guest. Bedrooms are gated to prevent a new tenant from getting into too much trouble. I do prefer crate trained dogs so both the dog and my dog & cats can feel secure at night.

Pets

A typical day

I take my pup for a walk early every morning and weather permitting, take a long walk or trip to Washington Park dog run to play catch and to run and play. I strictly monitor any pup in my care to ensure fun and safety. With cats, they are with me all day long if I'm working from home usually joining me in zoom meetings or deterring me from writing emails.
