Safety, trust & environment

I can easily crate your dog, walk on a leash, and even work on simple training commands. If you have a dog who loves to relax and chill or a dog who loves to burn energy, then I’m happy to do what I can on either end of the spectrum to help your dog feel loved and happy while you’re away!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a family with multiple pets at a time, ranging from dogs to cats to hermit crabs! I’ve watched dogs from 8 weeks to 16 years old and have a love for those who are a bit old and cranky. I’m also well equipped to sit pets who are blind, deaf, or have a disability of some sort.

Thea has been so amazing with my dog Blue. He’s a Cane Corso and can look intimidating, but she found out quick how loving and goofy he is. She’s so accommodating and quick to reply. My dog loves her so much. I would trust her to care for my boy any day!! She’s played fetch, went on walks, fed him dinner, and gave him all the snuggles he could ever want. She’s so amazing!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Thea! She has been an incredible part of raising my two miniature dachshunds, especially through the harsh South Dakota winters. Her dedication, reliability, and genuine love for my dogs are unlike anything I’ve experienced. Thea doesn’t just “watch” my dogs—she cares for them as if they were her own. I never have to worry when they’re with her because I know they’re safe, happy, and loved. She pays attention to their individual personalities, keeps them comfortable, and always makes thoughtful decisions to ensure they’re well cared for. It’s rare to find someone you trust completely with your pets, but that’s exactly who Thea is. There is simply no one else I would choose to care for my babies. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and goes above and beyond, Thea is the absolute best. I recommend her without hesitation—she is truly one of a kind!

My dog loves her and it’s so reassuring to know he’s getting taken care of and having fun! She takes lots of pictures and it makes my day :)

Thea has been super great with my shy pups! They take a bit to warm up to new people and she has been super understanding and they love her already!
