Pet care experience

Vet experience & Cat whisperer ;)

I'm a Chico State college graduate who loves spending time with animals. I worked at a Vet and Boarding Kennel for 10 years as well as multiple horse barns over the years. I'm originally from Santa Cruz but relocated here for school and loved it so much I stayed. I have experience with animals of all sizes including special needs pets. I'm experienced giving medications as well as injections. I also have experience with large animals as I've owned horses all my life. I've been petsitting for 15 years and enjoy spending time with new animals. I'll be sure to take care of your animal as if it were my own and I love to send picture updates while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets.

Theresa is wonderful! She is timely, responsive and sends pics of my babies so I don't worry. We will continue to work with Theresa whenever we need a drop- in visit. She is very responsible and the fur babies love her!

I was in need of last minute care for my senior cat for 5 days. She is quite picky and needs an inhaler twice a day. Theresa took excellent care of her and kept me updated with pictures. I am very grateful for her services and would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!

Thanks Theresa, I felt at ease leaving Stanley (the talking cat) with you. Your résumé is very extensive and I’m sure you can handle any situation that comes your way.

Schedule

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Theresa can host up to 9 drop-ins per day
Important information for me to know if your animals normal schedule. How long they are used to being on their own and if there's any special needs they have or any other specific care instructions. I want them to be as comfortable as possible so I will only take on animals where I can follow their normal routine.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
