Pet care experience
My husband and I both grew up with dogs and have lived with large and small breeds. I grew up with cats and watch our friend’s cat occasionally. Over the last 2 years we have fostered 10+ dogs for The Bond Between (formerly Secondhand Hounds). We helped all of these dogs get adopted and had to teach many of them how to live a normal dog life. This involved paying attention to the needs and overall health of each dog, being patient and flexible. Our dog, Russell, has proven to be the perfect buddy to show those dogs how life works indoors. If my calendar is open we are currently taking a break from fostering and would love to help you out with your upcoming plans.
Reviews
My first time trying Rover I found Theresa and Gabriel to watch my dog while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. They were so kind and willing to accommodate my dog. Their large fenced in yard was great for my energetic dog, and their own dog, Russell, was the perfect friend for her to around and play with.
Theresa and Gabriel did such a great job caring for our two mini dachshunds! They sent regular updates and it was obvious that our dogs had a good time. They were flexible and super friendly! We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again for doggy care in the future. Thank you!
Theresa and Gabe definitely appreciate and enjoy taking care of dogs. They communicated well and provided a fun, safe place for my dog over the weekend. I'll definitely request their help again in the future.
Our dog had a wonderful time and they took excellent care of him. They were also great communicators. We will definitely rebook with them again!

A typical day
A typical day is quiet at our house. We have a good environment for any dog or cat and a predictable routine. Since I work from home my day consists of letting the dogs out when they need. It is a cycle of playing outside and napping. Our dog is polite and adjusts his energy level/playfulness according to his guest. We have a ton of different types of toys and our guests usually find one they like best. I also have some treat puzzles that have come in handy with busy dogs. I adjust my day based on the needs of the dog I am watching and the requests of the owners. I am happy to accommodate specific walking/feeding schedules. I am usually out of the house for 2-3 hours in the evening. Our dog stays out in our house while we are away, it is to your comfort level whether you would like your dog out or crated. That goes for nighttime as well. We have space to keep them crated with us in our room but most do fine being out and sleeping in their bed (or ours if they fit!).

Availability
I work from home full time. I have the freedom to let dogs out as much as necessary, play with them throughout the day, and give lunch time walks. I have watched a variety of breeds, personalities and sizes of dogs. Whether your pet needs a quiet place to hang out or a play date, we have them covered. I am available most weekends for house sitting and am willing to compromise during the week since I could work from there.
