Pet care experience

Reliable, Loving Care for Your Pets

I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience volunteering at my local animal shelter two to three times a week. I regularly walk dogs, foster animals in my home, and transport animals to meet rescue organizations. Through volunteering and fostering, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 *Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) course taken with Appalachian State University*

I've trusted Theresa with my three Bulldogs for many years, including my older dog who has some health issues. She is caring, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to their individual needs. She has a special way with dogs—whether they are friendly, nervous, or even difficult to approach. I've seen her interact with dogs that aren't particularly people-friendly, and they seem to naturally trust and love her. She truly understands animals and knows how to care for them. She also volunteers at our local animal shelter, which is a reflection of how much she genuinely loves and cares about animals. I have trust her with my dogs without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and experienced pet sitter!

Theresa is exactly the kind of person you want caring for your pets. She volunteers walking shelter dogs, fosters and spoils shelter cats, and even transports animals to the airport for life-saving rescue flights. She has her own very loved—and VERY spoiled—dogs and treats every animal like family. She’s compassionate, responsible, dependable, and will go out of her way for anyone. I’d trust Theresa with my fur babies AND my real babies—and that’s about the highest recommendation I can give. Hire her! Plus, you’ll be helping her continue to spoil her own crew.

Theresa is the person I trust to care for my dogs! She truly loves animals and even volunteers at our local animal shelter multiple times a week. My rescue dog is very selective about who she trusts and doesn’t warm up to many people, but she absolutely loves Theresa. That alone says everything to me! Theresa is caring, patient, dependable, and someone I completely trust with my fur babies.

I’d love to know as much as possible about your pet before our first visit! Please let me know about their normal routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications or special needs, and anything that may make them nervous or uncomfortable. For dogs, I’d also like to know how they do on a leash and around other dogs or people. For cats, please let me know their favorite hiding spots, toys, and how they prefer to interact. Every pet is different, and I want to make their time with me as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
