Pet care experience

Animal Lover and Young Professional

I bring a well-rounded background in animal care from years of being around dogs and working with animals of all sizes. My experience is flexible—I’m comfortable supporting puppies who are still learning, as well as giving patient, gentle attention to senior dogs. Thanks to my lifelong involvement with horses, I’ve developed calm handling skills and a strong sense for reading animal behavior. I treat every pet like my own and make sure their time with me feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free.

Qualifications

15 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, and make sure they get plenty of affection and supervision. Whether it’s a puppy who needs consistency or a senior pet who needs a gentler pace, I adjust my care style to meet their needs and make them feel at home.

Thera is a dream! She has taken care of our two cats multiple times, and there is no one I trust more for their happiness, safety, and well-being, even when my husband and I are out of the country. She provides consistent and loving attention, and Cricket and Moonshine (our cats) LOVE her! Moonshine, our super shy kitty, will even stick around to get some pets when Thera is petsitting. We get regular pictures and updates, which makes our time away from home even easier and gives us greater peace of mind. In addition to caring for our cats, I know that Thera is excellent with dogs and horses. I have seen her work with all different personalities and breeds, tend to injured and sick animals, and stay patient and calm no matter the circumstance. She is smart, intuitive, and playful, knows what to do in a crisis, and nothing but trustworthy. My only concern in writing this review is that other pet owners will discover how great she is and fill up her schedule, but I'm willing to take the risk. Animals LOVE her, and you will, too! Do yourself and your pets a favor and hire Thera. You won't regret it!
