Reviews
Theresa was a great sitter for Willow while I was out of town! She offered to do a meet and greet with me and my dog so we could all get acquainted, which helped put me at ease as this was my first long trip away from my dog. She gave Willow such excellent care and attention and sent me frequent updates with pictures so I could see how Willow was doing and what she was getting up to. Her dog Gatsby showed Willow the ropes and kept Willow entertained - it was so fun seeing videos of them playing together. Theresa is very caring, very dog savvy, and will treat your pup like they're her own. I had a great experience, I'd absolutely book again.
Theresa was awesome! She took care of my pup, Snickers, for the day and he was a happy camper when I picked him up. She played with him, and took him for a long walk. She also sent me pictures of him during his stay. I will definitely have Snickers stay with Theresa again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
In My Home: When your fur baby comes to stay with me, it's all about keeping things safe and fun. I've got a secure fenced yard where they can run and play to their heart's content. Plus, there's my friendly dog who's always up for a game of chase or some good old-fashioned doggie bonding. And if your pet needs some downtime or you prefer crate training, no problem – I've got that covered too. My place is pet-proofed, so you won't find any hazards lying around. Your furry friends will get lots of love, attention, and belly rubs while they're here. In My Client's Home: When I'm taking care of pets in your home, I treat your home like my own (but without the mess). I'll stick to their routines and follow their instructions to a T. Feeding, medications, playtime, you name it – I've got it all covered. Trust is key, so I keep the lines of communication open, sending updates and photos to let you know your fur baby is in good hands. Every pet has their unique quirks, and I'm all about catering to their individual needs and preferences. Rest assured, I'll make sure your furry family member feels right at home.

Information Theresa M. would like to know about your pet
Understanding your pet's individual needs and quirks ahead of time is crucial for providing them with the best care and a comfortable environment. Each pet is unique, with their own preferences and sensitivities. Whether it's dietary restrictions, anxieties, or favorite toys, having this knowledge allows us to tailor our care to their specific requirements, ensuring a happy and stress-free experience for your beloved companion.
A typical day
I keep your furry buddy on their toes with a mix of fun activities. We'll work on tricks and commands to build our bond. Interactive toys and treat puzzles provide brain-teasing entertainment. A game of hide and seek with a petticoat toy adds a sniffing adventure. To get them moving, we play fetch outside. And mealtime becomes a mental challenge with frozen food puzzles. Your pet's in for a brainy good time!

Availability
Pet care plays an integral role in my daily and weekly routine, thanks to the flexibility of working from home and the fortunate presence of a pet-friendly neighborhood. Throughout the week, I prioritize grooming, training, and mental stimulation, promoting physical and mental health. Mornings start with breakfast and embarking on a refreshing walk, setting a positive tone for the day. Regular work breaks allow for check-ins and quality time. During lunch breaks, I seize the opportunity for another short walk, benefiting both of us and in the evenings, we unwind with dinner and one last stroll. Personally, I want to hit my 10,000 steps a day! On weekends, we explore other neighborhoods, the canal, or visit the local dog park. This routine ensures my Gatsby’s well-being & strengthens our bond; I'm fortunate to have a supportive neighborhood like we do.
