Experienced and Peaceful Home
Pet care experience
We have 11 years of experience fostering and caring for puppies and dogs of all ages: from an orphaned 2 week bottle feeder to a 13 year old senior (who passed away this year). Our current pack consists of two small dogs, a Chi mix and a long haired dachshund. We enjoy working with dogs since they truly live in the present moment and bring so much joy. We would love to share our knowledge and love in taking care of your beloved small dog. Our home is peaceful and quiet. We have a small fenced yard that will be supervised as well as a minimum of two walks per day. We live down the street from Jeanes Hospital which has a walking trail and lots of trees and grass. I am a preschool teacher and can currently offer weekends starting Friday at 5 pm, some holidays and most of the summer. I will update the calendar accordingly. My goal is to be of service to you full-time at some point. Each dog that stays with us is treated as a member of our pack, right from the start!
Reviews
Theresa was wonderful! Her sweet dogs get along great with other dogs and played a lot with our dog which he loved. Theresa has a calming presence and is very knowledgeable about dogs with separation anxiety. Enjoyed receiving pictures and knowing our fur baby was safe & happy:)
Theresa would be a great dog sitter or walker. Her love of and devotion to dogs are obvious to all who know her. She has spent significant time volunteering at a rescue, has fostered many dogs over the years, and currently has three of her own. She’s also raised four great kids. She is kind, conscientious and a good communicator. She has cared for my own dogs on multiple occasions. I would highly recommend her.
Theresa is an all around compassionate person who has a big heart, especially when it comes to caring for dogs! For years she has fostered dogs through shelters like ACCT and SPCA, which is how she ended up with 4 dogs of her own. She watches my fur baby frequently. She is trustworthy, responsive, and so caring.
BEYOND PATIENT! Theresa is a blessing! She is dependable, honest, caring, thorough and absolutely a lovely soul. She clearly has patience with anyone and any breed. Whether a pup or old soul she knows they have independent needs and will adjust her style of interacting with the breed to ensure they are calm during the interaction or play fetch to burn off some extra stress / energy. Theresa over the past several years has increased her caring by fostering numerous breeds, under her care she socialized, nursed, healed, and on a few occasions foster failed (adopted 8) ) quiet a few breeds back to health. Her interests are the owner/pets interest and will focus on a routine (unless one is provided) that is best for the breed during her visitation.
