Pet care experience

Cat and dog lover

Hello, my name is Theresa. I was born and raised here in Kalamazoo. My degree is in education, and while one of my passions is kids, my other passion is animals. Currently I have a wonderful fur baby named Tinkerbell who is my life. I do not, nor can I have dogs where I live so dog sitting is my way to get my dog fix. I have 6 years experience pet sitting and I love every moment of it. I find that after a day of watching the pet that I fall in love with them and always look forward to watching them whether it being an overnight or drop ins. In the past, I have administered medication to one or two pets that were under my care. I give baths to those who need that special kind of attention, even though we all know that's not anyone's favorite part(ie the dog). I give endless love and attention to those I watch. I am not a professional trainer, but I would help in any training that is currently going on within the household. When I have free time I volunteer at a local animal shelter taking them in walks, also finding it hard to say goodbye, but I know they are going to their furever home. During the week I work full time 7:30-4 Monday through Friday, but I am available everyday after 4 to drop in on your dog for play time and walks, though I can do multiple drop ins if needed. I am available for long term or short term needs, and I am very flexible. If I were to do house sitting I would be staying at your residence. I want your pet to feel safe and I think that would be in their own familiar territory. If there are any dog parks around, I would bring your dog there for dog interaction. In all, I am here for you and your fur baby. I will give them the attention they need.

Theresa did a great job as always - sent lots of great photos and kept me updated on how my cats are doing. I can relax on vacation when I have Theresa to take care of Lulu, Ziggy, and Mickey!

This was our first time using Theresa and it was a great experience. She came and met our babies prior to using her and was thorough with her questions. We had her for a night stay at the house. She provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. She went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Theresa again!

Wonderful person and animal sitter! Theresa was consistent and communicative. We will definitely be using her again to watch our menagerie. Thank you for the peace of mind and for loving our babies while we were away!

I need to know he/she is ok with strangers going into their home. For me, I would like a meet and greet to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, even if it’s not an everyday job. I want to comfortable along with your dog. I don’t really have breed restrictions as I try to give any pet a chance. I also like to know what toys does your dog like. Do they like running, walking, or being lazy on the couch? I am a pro at cuddles and tummy rubs. Whatever your dog desires I will fulfill their doggie dreams.
