Thea is my go-to. This is the third time my pets are staying with her because she is the only one I can trust with my pets. They have such a good time with her and her family. Thea might even take better care of my pets than I do and I think I do a pretty good job.
Thea is an amazing sitter that I would recommend to everyone I know. She keeps me updated everyday and I know my cat is at home with her.
Thea took great care of our cat Moka. She was caring and very good at helping him transition to a new environment. The many pictures and videos helped us know how well he was doing. We had a great experience and Moka will be going back for another visit for sure!
Thea is the most incredible and responsible dog sitter. You will not find a more caring, responsive, flexible and overall nurturing person to care after your dog while you’re gone. We look forward to guilt-free vacations now because it’s way less stressful knowing our two dogs are well looked after with her. She provides updates so frequently that we feel like we know what’s going on at all times. Honestly, we will be live long customers because of how amazing she is.
Second time with Thea- will always come back to her. The level of care for my pets is unmatched.
Thea was amazing with Mika. She spoiled her and sent me plenty of videos and photos to keep me updated. The communication went great and it looks like Mika had a great stay. Thank you!!

Schedule
Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and ensure that their needs are met consistently. This commitment involves allocating specific time slots for feeding, exercise, and playtime. I firmly believe in maintaining a structured schedule to provide stability and comfort to pets under my care. On a daily basis, I allocate dedicated time for feeding, ensuring that meals are provided at regular intervals. This helps establish a routine and ensures that pets receive proper nutrition. Additionally, I make time for interactive play sessions, engaging pets in activities that stimulate their physical and mental well-being. Regular exercise, whether through walks or play, is an essential part of their routine, as it helps keep them active and healthy. In my weekly routine, I set aside time for grooming and overall pet maintenance. This includes brushing their fur, checking for any signs of discomfort or health issues. I also dedicate time to clean their living spaces, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment for their well-being. Overall, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a top priority. By establishing a structured schedule, being attentive to their needs, and remaining flexible, I ensure that the pets under my care receive the love, attention, and care they deserve on a consistent basis."
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In both my home and my client's home, I provide comprehensive care tailored to the specific needs of each pet. The services I offer may vary depending on the arrangement, whether it's pet sitting in my own home or providing care at the client's residence. When pets are in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment where they can thrive. I designate an area for them to relax and sleep, ensuring it is clean, cozy, and equipped with everything they need, such as bedding, toys, and water and food bowls. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule, adhering to any dietary requirements or restrictions provided by the pet owner. Regular exercise and playtime are essential components of my care routine. I engage pets in activities that suit their energy levels and preferences, whether it's walks, interactive play sessions, or stimulating toys. I provide ample social interaction and companionship, ensuring they feel loved and secure during their stay. If I am providing care at the client's home, I strive to create a familiar and comforting environment for the pets. I follow their established routine, maintaining consistency with feeding, exercise, and any medication schedules. I keep their living space clean, tidy, and free from hazards. In both settings, I prioritize the well-being of the pets by monitoring their health and behavior closely. I am vigilant for any signs of discomfort, illness, or distress, promptly addressing any concerns and seeking veterinary care if necessary. Additionally, I offer grooming services such as brushing, bathing, and nail trimming, ensuring the pets' physical hygiene is well-maintained. Communication with pet owners is vital, and I provide regular updates on their pets' well-being, including photos and videos if desired. I am responsive to any specific instructions or requests provided by the owners, respecting their preferences and ensuring a seamless transition for the pets between their home and mine. Ultimately, whether caring for pets in my own home or at the client's residence, my primary focus is to create a nurturing and loving environment. I strive to provide the highest level of care, ensuring that the pets entrusted to me receive the attention, affection, and specialized care they need to thrive.
A typical day
When watching pets, I like to engage them in a variety of fun activities to keep them happy and stimulated. For dogs, this includes going for long walks, playing fetch, and exploring new parks or trails. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, as well as creating cozy spaces for them to lounge and observe their surroundings. I also spend quality time with each pet, providing lots of affection and attention to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away.

- It's crucial to gather important information about pets ahead of time to ensure they receive the best care possible. Key details include their medical history, any allergies, dietary restrictions, and specific behavioral traits or quirks. Knowing their routine, such as feeding times, exercise needs, and preferred activities, helps maintain a sense of normalcy and comfort. It's also essential to understand their social preferences, including how they interact with other animals and people. Lastly, having emergency contact information and a clear plan for any unexpected situations ensures the pet's safety and well-being while they are in my care.
