Authentic loving care of your pets!

Pet care experience

I work for myself from home and from my artist studio. I have almost a whole acre of yard with gardens and a wooded area to explor I also have a safe fenced in area. I consider myself the original dog whisperer and my daughters are the same, dogs just love us and gravitate mostly towards my youngest. I am the one with the treats though and I love making a pup learn new tricks! I've loved dogs all of my life and I've never been without one for very long. Rocky is my Chihuahua. He was found wandering a parking lot in Rocky Hill and turned into the police department. I said I would take him home because he was so small he could not possibly even go in one of the animal control officers cages, and he won my heart. He is my constant companion! He is wonderful at soothing big dogs and little dogs alike and everybody loves him. I'm a very energetic person and love dogs of all sizes, but I'm strict with their behavior. I know when a dog needs to be worked or loved, exercised or relaxed. Fed or watered or left alone. Treats are for good behavior and I usually make my own. I offer free meet and greets and would be happy to schedule one with you before your booking.

So glad that we found Theresa! We were in a pinch and needed to find someone to watch our super active sweet Portuguese Water Dog while we were at an event. Theresa went above and beyond and met us at the event and buckled Sadie in her car and went off for a hike. We picked up Sadie at her house and could tell that Sadie was super relaxed and happy with Theresa and her cute Rocky! Thank you so much Theresa! We will definitely reach out again!!!

Theresa helped us at the very last minute when we needed someone to check on our three dogs. She was very responsive, sent pics, and even washed the dog bowls!

I have a Chihuahua and often will have my daughter's pitbull. Both are well behaved and non reactive, friendly and loving pups. Both behave well off leash too and are trained. Other dogs will learn from them by just being around them.

Information Theresa C. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your dog is not house trained. This seems to be the biggest issue that I’ve had so far. I like to know their personality traits as much as possible. If your dog is extremely anxious, I can work with him to give them a sense of calm. I have trained a lot of different dogs. I find the work to be rewarding and the dogs do too!

A typical day

Trail hiking, ball chase, tire on a rope, squeeky toys, dog parks, beach time, water play, trails, behavior training while walking. These are all my specialty.

I have a flexible with my time, I have a fenced in area and safety is my main concern. While I encourage owners to find places to do off leash training, I am never going to take a clients dog off leash just to be safe. I do take client’s dogs to dog parks that I feel are of the best quality and most well-behaved dogs.T there are some dogs that just need some social time with other dogs and can really benefit with making new friends with a professional eye watching for aggressive behavior or becoming more anxious. Knowing when to leave is as important as knowing how to enter the park.
