I work full time in La Jolla. Dogs will be walked on lunch breaks. If they are small and well behaved, I may be able to bring them to work with me. On my days off, I love to go for long walks (with or without a furry companion!)

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet and your home are in good hands with me! I don’t believe pets could ever be too spoiled. Whatever lifestyle they are accustomed to, know that I will uphold that - and maybe even spoil them just a little bit more :)

Information Theresa G. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has special needs, whether medical or otherwise, please do not hesitate to discuss them with me ahead of time. We will work together to make your time away as stress free as possible.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks! Physical exercise is as important as mental exercise. Engaging their sense of smell is important for cognitive functions, especially is seniors. Cats will get plenty of play time and mental stimulation, as well as snuggle time if that’s what they crave.

Theresa was fantastic. She worked well with my elderly mother. We could not of done it without her. Theresa administered oral liquid medications and a shot to her cat. Thank you for your service!

Theresa really came through for us when our plane was delayed and we needed to extend sitting for our dog. She is caring and responsive!

Theresa was so attentive and caring with Cosimo. She took the time to come meet him beforehand and I knew he was going to be in good hands. Even bought him a seasonal toy :)
