Information Theresa R. would like to know about your pet

Basically if there's anything I should know to bring with or not bring with me, like are they scared and a certain clothing or something sets them off, or do they have a certain favourite kind or toy or treat I should bring to make friends.

A typical day

I have been known to read to the more mellow animals and play/wrestle with the higher energy ones. I also love it when they sleep in the same bed and we can cuddle.

Pet care experience

Not only have I always been around animals at home, I have professional experience in house and pet sitting with cats, chickens, dogs, goats, hamsters, rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, horses and fish! My schedule is pretty flexible, I've worked with animals of all dispositions - from low key to hyper - and I love getting to know every one of them and their little nuances. I used to volunteer at a shelter in my home state of California where I socialized both the dogs and cats, exercised the dogs in their large run, and helped to groom them. Pets I’ve worked for for: Dogs Cats Chickens Goats Sugar gliders Guinea pigs Mice Snakes Horses Dog breeds I’ve worked for (may not be up-to-date): English mastiff Cane corso Lab Poodle Golden retriever Pug Chihuahua Border collie Australian shepherd Alaskan malamute Papillon Greyhound Great dane Yorkie Pitbull German shepherd Jack russell terrier Dachshund Beagle American Bulldog Sheltie Cairn Terrier Wheaten terrier Cat breeds I’ve worked for: Himalayan Maine coone Siamese And I'm always looking forward to expanding that list.

Theresa was very responsive to my request for services. I’m so thankful she was able to help out when I had to be gone from home for over 12 hours.

Theresa was wonderful with my anxiety ridden, older Italian Greyhound. She managed to get him to eat all of his meals (if he’s too nervous he won’t eat while we are gone) There was good communications with Theresa while we were gone. I’m very happy and would definitely have Theresa sit for us again.

Such wonderful sitters for my senior pup and his big sister. I know my little guy is becoming more fragile and I wouldn't trust him to anyone else these days. Theresa is extra careful with him and is sure to give the big girl attention too. Would definitely recommend!!!

My boys are picky at best and true terrors on the worst day! Theresa does a wonderful job with crate and rotate for them and even can coax kisses and belly rubs out of my nervous boy!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
