Retired Farm Nana Loves Pets

Pet care experience

I've had senior dogs, given insulin and oral meds. Raised race horses and am a firm believer that pets are members of the family. I have stairs for the bed for senior dogs. I do have a chihuahua who has cataracts and deaf but he likes other dogs.

Theresa was so kind and the perfect sitter for our pup! Incredible attention to detail, loving and so caring to our rescue dog. She was so patient with our girl and took the extra time and attention to build trust with her over the period she was watching her. Sent many great pics and videos our dog while we went out of town for a wedding, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! 😍

Theresa is absolutely wonderful. I am a first time puppy mom and was a little worried to leave her alone but once I met Theresa, my worries melted away! You can tell right away that she loves animals and is so sweet, patient and gentle. She sent photos and videos throughout her visit, which I appreciated so much! I’m so relieved to have found her. If you need a sitter look no further! ♥️

I have a calm older chihuahua to keep your pet company. I've had all sorts of rescue dogs and know they all come with their own baggage. I'm patient, kind and loving. Let's talk about your pet's specific needs. I can watch your pets at YOUR HOME or MINE but would need to bring my chihuahua with me for overnights. I can pick up your pet for an extra fee. I can give oral meds or check sugar levels or give injections for diabetic dogs. If you have a farm, I can take care of your horses. I no longer have a farm, but bred Thoroughbreds.

Information Theresa L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your furbaby has any special needs or preferences. I'm 65 but in excellent health, but in case of emergency, my daughter, an interior designer, also works from home and can step in until Rover could find a replacement provider if need be. Do not worry about my age. Maturity and experience is its own perk. I've handled most emergencies in my lifetime. You can feel confident that you furbaby will be safe and happy. I've had a blind dog and a deaf dog. I had a dog who had seizures and one who was incontinent. I had a diabetic dog and watched a dog with separation anxiety.

A typical day

Our neighborhood has lots of dogs and smells to explore. The circle is about 1/4 mile long, and we can walk it several times a day. I'll throw a favorite toy for your dog--please bring it with you or we can cuddle on the sofa while watching TV or while I write books. Lots of scratches are free! Food is a big part of everyone's day, and warm food and treats makes the day better. Lounging in the sun on the patio on a warm day or by the large window is a doggie favorite. If your small or medium dog is high energy, we will take more fast walks or throw a favorite toy for how every many hours it takes to use up that energy.

I'm currently retired and stay at home 24/7 writing books. Your pet will only be alone on Sunday morning church. I do not have a fenced yard, therefore your pet will be walked on a leash as needed. If your pet is NOT leash trained, I can work with him/her for an extra fee if you wish.
