Pet care experience

Big Dog & Medication Experienced

I have 15+ years of hands-on pet care experience, including 10 years working in a professional grooming shop as a bather. That experience made me very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities and energy levels. I have also owned and cared for large-breed dogs throughout my life, including Dobermans, Rottweilers and pit bulls, so I am genuinely comfortable with big dogs. I understand that a 90-pound dog who is excited to see you is a very different experience from walking a 15-pound dog! I have experience administering subcutaneous medications to my own pets and am comfortable giving oral medications as directed. I am also happy to follow specific feeding, walking and care routines. Most importantly, I treat each pet as an individual. I want to know their routine, quirks, favorite things and what makes them comfortable so I can care for them the way you would.

Theresa was great with Finn! She was very responsive in coordinating the meet and greet and the walk, and Finn warmed up to her right away! Looking forward to scheduling more walks :)

I’m very happy to recommend Theresa as a pet sitter. She has watched my animals many times over the years, including my large-breed dogs and cats, and I’ve always felt completely comfortable knowing they were with her. Theresa is great with animals and is especially comfortable with big dogs. She’s caring, confident, attentive, and really enjoys spending time with them. She’s also helped care for my bird, including feeding him and spending time playing and interacting with him. The biggest thing for me is trust. I know when Theresa is watching my pets, I don’t have to worry. She treats them like they’re her own, and they’re always happy and comfortable with her. It makes leaving them so much easier knowing they’re with someone I trust completely. I would happily recommend Theresa to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and genuinely good with animals.

I can’t recommend Theresa highly enough as a pet sitter. Having worked professionally as a dog groomer and having cared for cats and dogs her entire life, she has a remarkable understanding of animals and an almost instinctive ability to connect with them. What really sets her apart is the genuine love and attentiveness she brings to every animal in her care. She is patient, responsible, observant, and incredibly caring. She pays attention to the little things an animal’s personality, routines, moods, and individual needs—and treats every pet as if it were her own. Her experience gives her a level of confidence and knowledge that is incredibly reassuring, but it’s her natural warmth and affection for animals that truly make her special. Anyone entrusting their beloved pets to Theresa can feel confident that their pet is in the most caring, capable, and loving hands.

Schedule

My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate weekday walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including the popular midday hours. I’m also available for morning and evening visits and can often accommodate weekends with advance notice. I’m happy to work with recurring weekly schedules as well as occasional care when you’re traveling or have a long day away from home.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home with the same attention and respect I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding, walking and medication instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safely settled before I leave. I respect your home and privacy, clean up after pets, and provide updates so you know how they’re doing while in my care.
