Experienced & Devoted Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Theresa. I am a married 26 year old and I have always been an animal lover! I have always had pets, dogs in particular. Animals are awesome loving creatures and it brings me happiness in caring for them. When you book with me, you will receive updates and pictures of your pet(s) during the stay. You will have plenty of reassurance that they are being well cared for and happy while under my supervision. I take pet care very seriously and I strive to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet(s).

Safety, trust & environment

While I am providing a drop in visit in your home to care for your pet(s), I am always very careful and considerate of your home. I can follow precise instructions to provide your pet(s) with the best care possible. Dogs are never left unattended while I am performing a service in your home. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pet(s), I am home the majority of the time. Pets are always supervised in my home. My husband, Obadiah , is present to care and watch over the animals if I have to run a quick errand. We live in a residential area located conveniently close to highway 75 with many schools, sidewalks, parks, nature trails, dog parks and more nearby. We can provide as many walks and or potty breaks as your animal would like. I will not leave dogs outside unattended. If they are playing in the yard I am playing/supervising. We treat each dog according to the rules you set, but also just like our own. **Additional Information about boarding services:** ** Breeds that I do not board in my home: Pitbulls, Dobermans, Great Danes, Rottweilers, Cane Corso, American bullies & German Shepards. (While these breeds are all wonderful dogs, they have high energy levels and unpredictable temperaments, therefore, I am unable to board them in my home, I am still able to provide walking/drop in services for these breeds just not boarding. Any low content mixes of these breeds will be considered for overnight boarding.) Drop off and pick up time is between 8 am - 8 pm. You will need to message me the time frame of when you will be dropping off/picking up. The time frame must be within the hour. If pick up or drop off time exceeds the window between 8 am - 8 pm, you will need to pay for an additional night. You will need to supply dog food for the stay. I recommend bringing a bag of 10 lb + dog food if you will be boarding for longer than 7+ days. I provide dog bowls, bedding and dog toys that are routinely sanitized in my home. I discourage bringing additional belongings unless previously discussed prior to drop off. Bringing additional items such as toys, blankets or additional bowls is not necessary as I provide everything needed to make your dog feel happy, comfortable and relaxed. I now have a reoccurring pest control service, Eco-Safe, its 100% natural and organic and it is safe for pets but gets rid of pesky bugs like fleas and ticks. Please be sure your dog is treated for fleas and is up to date on vaccines and medications. It is your responsibility to ensure your dog is protected to avoid any infestations or illnesses. I provide grooming services that start at $35. Please message me for a custom quote or if you have any questions about the services I offer. FAQ: Q: Do you require dogs to be crated overnight? A: Yes, all dogs that are boarded with me will be crated overnight to ensure safety. All dogs that I board must be crate trained and must be able to stay in the crate overnight comfortably. Dogs that are crate trained will not display any signs of excessive barking, whining or any other behavior that displays anxiety while in a crate. Q: Do you accept puppies younger than 8 months old? A: No, I only board puppies that are older than 8 months and they must be crate & house trained. Q: Do you provide walks during boarding? A: Unless you have added an additional service for dog walking to boarding, I do not provide walks, we have a spacious backyard with plenty of space for your dog to play, run and have fun. Q: Do you board dogs that are aggressive or fearful of other dogs? A: No, I do not board dogs that have aggression or anxiety around other dogs, all dogs that are boarded must be good around other dogs. Q: Are you able to send daily updates / pictures? A: I strive to provide as many updates and pictures to provide reassurance that your pet is happy, comfortable and safe during their stay, although I do run a business from home, I am not always able to send daily updates especially if the stay exceeds 7 days.

Information Theresa S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any medical issues, illnesses, or special needs. I will require your dog to be crate trained as I require them to be crated overnight during the stay to ensure safety, if you're dog is not crate trained and displays signs of anxiety ( excessive barking, whining ) while in the crate, I am not able to board them overnight. While I do accept puppies older than 8 months old, I will require them to be house & crate trained and on a flea and tick preventative, up to date vaccines are highly recommended as well. If your dog is aggressive towards other dogs, I will not be able to board them in my home to ensure the safety of our other 4-legged guests. I am open to providing a drop in service at your home depending on distance in this kind of situation. If your dog is aggressive towards children, I will NOT be able to book with you. This is to ensure my children's safety.

I have had both dogs and cats in my lifetime. I have much experience with dogs, different breeds, and temperaments. I am happy to feed, brush, walk, snuggle, spoil, bathe, pamper, give medications or anything else needed. I am happy to provide services in my home or yours. I have a 3 bedroom, 2 living room house. There is always plenty of room for your dog(s) to play and relax. My spacious fenced in backyard is perfect for guests that like to run around, play fetch and soak up the sun. We turn on the sprinkler in the summer for the dogs to play and stay cool outside. Dogs are allowed on the couches and beds in my home unless otherwise requested.
