Pawsitively Exceptional Pet Care

Pet care experience

🏡🐾 Tail-Wagging Fun in a Three-Level Townhouse with a Fenced Backyard! 🐾🏡 Embark on worry-free pet care with me, Thea, where your furry children will thrive in a three-level home and a secure, fenced backyard. My extensive experience in caring for a variety of pets (French Bulldogs, Golden Retrievers, Pitbulls, Beagles, Goldendoodles, bichon/poodle, mixed rescue dogs, Himalayan cats, Russian Tortoise, canaries, guppies, hamsters, a Netherlands dwarf rabbit, Turkish Angora, Persian cats, and many more), is now elevated by the added perks of a spacious, multi-level environment. What makes me stand out? ✨ Specialized Skills: From puppy training to senior care, post-surgery support, and medication administration—I've got it covered. 🏡 Three-Level Comfort: Your pets will explore and enjoy every level of my home, making their stay an adventure in itself. I have additional fences in my home. For instance, one is preventing furry guests from running out of the entrance doors, while another is utilized during meal times since some guests eat faster than others and want to eat out of others' bowls. 🌳 Fenced Backyard Bliss: Safety first! The fenced backyard ensures your pets can play, run, and bask in the fresh air securely. 🚶‍♂️ Daily Adventures: Regular dog walks and outdoor playtime are a staple, keeping your dogs active and happy. ✂️ Grooming Expertise: A clean, happy, and well-groomed pet is a given under my care. 🧹Hygiene and Environment: I continually enhance our home with minor renovation projects between boarding periods. I do laundry daily and deep clean the carpets on both levels after each boarding, ensuring our home is as clean as possible for our next furry guests. 🍦 Spoiling session: I enjoy brushing our pets, giving them massages and treats like: for dogs: duck jerky, chicken jerky, dental treats, doggy ice cream, and peanut butter; for cats: tuna and turkey I approach pet care with boundless love, respect, and kindness. Ensuring all their needs are met, including dietary requirements and, when permitted, indulging them with extra affection. In my spare time, I revel in family moments and dive into books as well as home remodeling projects. Sharing my home with a loving Husky mix adds an extra layer of joy and understanding of the unique needs of our beloved pets. Choose me for an exceptional pet care experience where your pets will feel right at home—exploring, playing, and making memories in our loving home 🐶🏡🐱🌳🐾

Thea is the most thoughtful and caring pet sitter we have ever had! Very communicative and sweet to our three pets. She sent daily photos and helped out with house tasks I forgot about! The house was even cleaner than we left it! Amazing sitter and will definitely hire again!

Thea gives wonderful attention to Panda. In addition has offered her experience and insight to some of the struggles I've had adopting an older girl. I, and Panda,greatly appreciate and feel fortunate to to have her!!!

This was the second time we’ve booked with Thea and she was amazing as ever. Our pup, Astro was so comfortable seeing her and Osiris right when we entered, which is a such a good sign that he enjoyed his stay the first time. It’s no wonder why she’s booked months in advance. You can 100% trust Thea and Osiris with your pups to keep them safe and happy whenever.
