Powell pet & house sitter

I've been dog-sitting, cat-sitting, and house-sitting for my neighbors and friends for 15 years now. I love going on long walks/runs and spending time with animals! I am reliable and check my phone frequently. Bonus: I've been known to get the cutest pictures of my friends' and family's pets if you need more instagram pics of your dog ;)

House Sitting • Feb 21, 2025

Theresa did a great job hanging out with our pup Maggie while we were away. She provided frequent updates and pictures and it was very obvious that Maggie was happy in her care. We will definitely use Theresa in the future.

Theresa was wonderful with our 3, somewhat high maintenance, little dogs! She stayed at our house, snuggled with my pups, and sent us daily pictures and updates! Definitely recommend Theresa for your pet-sitting needs!

Theresa is a great sitter. This is the second time hiring her for drop-in visits and she is very communicative and reliable. I have two newer rescue cats that are still settling in and Theresa was understanding of their specific circumstances/needs and made sure they were taken care of.

Schedule

I work as an occupational therapist in outpatient orthopedic rehab during the day, however, I have flexibility as I work some half days as well. I am typically free in the mornings, evenings, and weekends and can still house sit with my current schedule. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are unsure, I can usually make most dates/times work by moving things around in my schedule!

Safety, trust & environment

-I graduated with my doctorate in occupational therapy from OSU in May 2022 -I am great at sending updates and lots of pictures -I realize how scary it can be to have a stranger in your home or with your pets. I am more than willing to meet you and your pet before booking so that you can have peace of mind and feel safe with me! -I am very respectful of your space and will make sure to keep things clean (including cleaning up after pet accidents, taking off my shoes in the house, wiping off muddy paws, etc.) -Safety is my priority, and I will always double check that doors are locked when I leave. I am used to blocking out doorways when I come/go to ensure pets don't sneak out! -I'm a proud plant mom and can water/care for your plants as well--just let me know!

A typical day

I love to give plenty of belly scratches and pets to my pups! I love going on long walks, but can do short walks or anywhere in between depending on your dogs activity level and tolerance. I'm an avid runner, so if your dog likes to run, I can do that too! I usually walk around my neighborhood in UA but love going to local parks to play fetch as well!

I’d like to know your dog’s typical routine including food/potty break schedules, and how often or far they are typically walked. This helps me make sure your pet’s normal routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away!
