Pets

Lifelong animal lover & pet sitter.

Pet care experience

I grew up caring for animals of all kinds from horses, to dogs and cats. I have always had pets in my life and have a passion for giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. If you have a high energy dog I’ve been active and athletic my whole life and would love to get your buddy out for lots of walks and play time. If your animal is more of a cuddler I am happy to take the time to give them the attention they need when you are not able to. I very flexible with my schedule. I am usually able to work with you to accommodate you and your pet’s needs both during the week and weekends. I have a large home with a large yard located in a quiet rural area. There is also a park nearby so there is lots of opportunity to be active. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give your pups the love and attention they need. I work at home so I am here most of the time to attend to your pups every need. I have a very large house with lots of room to roam. My yard is not fenced, but I have a huge park across the street from me with a Tennis Court that is enclosed so your pup can run free and exercise. Pups stay on their leash at all times unless we are in the tennis court. My home is puppy proofed…that is their is no chemicals or anything in reach that could be harmful. That is all kept on high shelves.

Theresa, was great! She went above and beyond picking up our pups from our wedding we didn't even have to think about it. They came home happy.

We unfortunately had a very bad experience with Theresa watching our dog. It all started when we dropped him off and realized her profile and description of her home and yard were very misleading. While she does have a fenced in yard the gate to enclose it is merely 2 feet tall, our dog is much taller than that and was able to jump the fence without Theresa noticing, luckily we were leaving and able to get him back to her. Her profile said she had one dog but upon arrival there were 3 dogs at her house, one of which was a new puppy who clearly had all of her attention because she seemed less than interested in our dog. We were on our way to an event and didn’t have another option so we left him with her even though my gut was telling me it wasn’t a good idea. I didn’t get any updates from Theresa until I reached out to her to check on our dog, at that time she informed me that he escaped her care again at some point. She then asked me to have someone pick up our dog because she didn’t feel comfortable letting him out (he’s a 60lb 1 year old puppy) this was very frustrating considering we were over 2 hours away and our dog hadn’t even been with her for 8 hours at this point. When we arrived in the morning she was waiting outside of her yard with our dog and was very short and rude. Our dog is not hard to watch/handle, he’s very shy and has been boarded many times but due to the facility being at capacity we needed to find another place for him to go overnight. All in all this was a horrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend Theresa.

Theresa was great with our dog, Cash! I would recommend her for any puppy parents who wants a reliable and caring person watching their pup.

Louie enjoyed his time with Theresa and Oscar. He's holding it against us.
