Highlights
Pet care experience
College kid looking to share love❤️
I raised 2 border collies puppies since birth (they’re in New Zealand), and I volunteered at a service-dog center for 1 year. Beyond that, I’ve been a pet sitter on Rover and in private for 4+ years. This gave me extensive theoretical and practical experience to handle pets of all ages, especially: reading their body language, checking for ticks, paw balms, dental health, preventing heat-strokes, even puppy-training! I cannot own a pet for now, but I would love an opportunity to take care of yours! If a pet is home, it would become a primary consideration when planning daily activities, to ensure they are fed, walked on time, etc. Feeding times and activities needed varies by dog breed, and the family the pets are from. It is crucial that I ensure to follow your provided schedule to best make the care easily adaptable for your pet. As a dog-owner, I ensure to take care of the details, such as picking up any food on the floor so they don’t eat it by accident. Please reach out with any questions! Happy to chat :)

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Hard rule: Dogs are always leashed when they’re outside. Unless instructed, pet food or human food are completely separate. Please let me know if your dog has a tendency to rush out the door. Plenty of photos or video if you wish can be provided in real time during the service. I will always be available for questions and for update updates!
Ratings and reviews
Thea took exceptional care of our Doberman, Clyde, while we were away for a long weekend. She kept us updated throughout our trip with multiple daily messages, along with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. We recently moved and haven't fully unpacked yet, and Thea even went out of her way to buy Clyde some new toys. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and the excellent care she provided. We would happily trust her with Clyde again!
I would give 100 stars if I could, and if I lived in Chapel Hill and weren't visiting, I would be a repeat customer. Thea is a gem of a person and dog sitter. Our dog is anxious and generally suspicious of anything on two legs, but let Thea pet him within 20 minutes and then while we were gone he asked for belly rubs??! Magic. Thea is very good at reading dog's temperament and she sent lovely updates with pictures throughout the evening. She was also very patient with us, as we were a bit chaotic leading the house and had to return a few times. Can't say enough good things, I *highly* recommend her
Thea was extremely communicative, caring of Míša, and someone that I can count on.
Thea was awesome, and took great care of Chewie and Zelda as well as the house!
Thea did a great job caring for our very old and other very energetic dog. She was very loving and responsible. Treated them as her own!
Thea is a treasure. We booked her last minute to house/dog sit and from the very beginning we knew our home and pet are going to be in the best, most capable and reliable hands. Besides being extremely intelligent, friendly and knowledgable, Thea is also a very responsible young lady with lots of pet knowledge and experience. She left our home spotless and our Charlie learned so many new tricks during the few days we were away! Thea also made sure to keep us updated with photos and vids the entire time. If you need a reliable pet sitter look no further! Thea is the best xxx
