Experienced Dog Sitter/Walker
Pet care experience
*CURRENTLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE* I was born in Dorset and have lived with animals my entire life, my family had pets before I was even born! We’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea-pigs, fish, we’ve even taken in various injured wild animals and nursed them to health or taken them to a specialised rescue centre. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 6 or 7 years old, when I was gifted my own guinea-pig. Three of our dogs we had since they were puppies, but the past four have been rescue dogs, so I have experience both with young dogs and rescues who tend to need a bit more care and patience. We have unfortunately lost four of our dogs in my lifetime, however all were aged 14 or above, so I am also experienced in looking after elderly dogs and more than happy to administer any required meds. My Mum has adopted three greyhounds, after my Dad and I rescued our first and we all fell in love with the breed! However, I now live in Castle Cary with my fiancé, our Son Matteo, our two cats, Jasmine and Louie and our new Whippet pup Dante, who will be joining us from the 13th July 2022! Matteo is a toddler, but already very good natured and respectful around animals Happy to take repeat bookings, however, it’s essential to me that new clients are toddler tested and friendly towards other dogs ☺️ I’m free all the time, though I am studying a degree. I have plenty of time for walks, cuddles and general care of your dog I have a large, fenced in garden and plenty of space for your dogs to run around. I allow dogs on my sofa and bed, but only with your permission.
Reviews
We left our 2 Maine Coons for 2 weeks at home & Theresa looked after them so well. They are sociable cats who like attention, they certainly enjoyed her visits! Theresa kept us updated with the cats daily, sending updates, pictures & videos. We have booked Theresa many times before, but this was the first 2week booking, and we have no hesitation in doing a longer break again. Thank you!
Theresa is brilliant at looking after our pets, careful conscientious and kind
Theresa has looked after my elderly dog twice now. I was worried about her first visit as she had never been away from home, and we were away 9 nights. Theresa provided regular updates and photos to reassure me, and on her return my dog was so unimpressed to see me I'm sure she had had a great time!
Met Theresa for the first time the day before she was scheduled to dog sit to make sure that dogs were comfortable with her. Instantly, I was convinced that she was the right choice. My dogs were all over her! Will definitely ask her to dog sit again :-)
About Theresa C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I try to create an environment as close to your dogs home as possible. If they are allowed on sofas at home, they are allowed on sofas here. I also have plenty of dog beds (my whippet is a spoilt boy!), extra bowls, treats (though I will always check with you first when giving my own treats) and a large fenced in garden
Home
Information Theresa C. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs, my only requirements are they must be friendly towards young children and dogs and have up to date vaccinations and flea and worm treatment, as I have two cat's and a whippet.
A typical day
I own a car, but also live surrounded by fields and bridle paths. There’s plenty of space to throw a ball or play tug of war!

Availability
I am currently a stay at home home/part time student, so I have a lot of flexibility and your dog will not be left for more than 1-2 hours at a time
