About Theodore N.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in and around each client’s home, following the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and household access. I prioritize safe handling, secure leashes and doors, clear communication, and detailed photo updates after each visit.
Information Theodore N. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your dog, I would like to know about their normal routine, temperament, energy level, leash behavior, medical needs, allergies, and any fears or triggers. Please also share whether they are reactive toward dogs, people, bicycles, or vehicles, have any history of biting or escaping, and require specific handling equipment or safety precautions.
A typical day
During walks and drop-in visits, I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level, routine, and personality. This may include neighborhood walks, sniffing and exploration, backyard play, favorite toys, basic enrichment, potty breaks, feeding, and calm companionship. I always follow the owner’s instructions and provide photos and updates after each visit.

Dog walker with rescue experience
Pet care experience
I’m an experienced animal-care professional with hands-on experience supporting the daily care and facility operations of a high-volume rescue housing more than 100 dogs. My responsibilities included coordinating feeding schedules and outdoor rotations, maintaining clean and safe environments, assisting with dog handling, and helping prospective adopters during meet-and-greets. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, energy level, and routine. I prioritize safe handling, patience, clear communication, and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, while always being honest about whether a particular pet is a good match for my experience. I recently moved to Natick and am available for local dog walks and drop-in visits. I will provide dependable arrival updates, photos, and a detailed report after every visit so you know how your pet is doing.
Reviews
Teddy has worked for us for years until he recently moved to the Boston Area to be close to his sister. So trusted was/is Teddy with our dogs, we just hired him to deliver one of our dogs to her new home on Cape Cod (driven from PA). Teddy is very responsible, extremely meticulous, and is experienced with difficult dogs (having worked with our incoming dogs at our shelter in Pennsylvania). Pleasant, smart, and totally trustworthy. ROVER's gain is our loss. We would hire him back without hesitation.
Teddy seems to have a special bond with animals and they trust him. He walks my dogs often, and has taken them to vet appointments, hand fed them, and given them medications. They look forward to seeing him!
Teddy is fantastic and super reliable! He's got the experience, patience, and kindness towards all animals. He's the best pet sitter we've had, and he makes us feel at ease when we have to leave our pup, Koda. For reference - Koda has separation anxiety, is high energy, and is cautious of strangers. Teddy understood this from day 1 and was perfect at handling it! We can see that Koda looks forward to the check-ins and neighborhood walks, and it makes our hearts melt every time. Thanks so much for everything you do.
