"HAPPINESS" caring for a dog or two

Pet care experience

It's the best feeling to know you have a caring person to care for your dog while you're away. I am an avid dog lover, and owner of a 13-year-old, Shih Tzu. I am active and love outdoors. Allowing me to care for your dog, he/she will be in great hands. I can provide morning, afternoon, evening and weekend dog walks around your neighborhood, follow a regular routine, or even go to a favorite dog park. An important goal for me is to provide consistent high quality care, and a lasting relationship. I have the basic knowledge of dogs with a sense of humor/professional as well. I am licensed, bonded, insured and CPR-certified. Your dog will get attention & love just like he/she is my very own Shih Tzu, Tazz! I have the appropriate accessories setup for daycare and doggie care in my apartment. If any adjustments need to be made, willing to provide necessities as needed.

We're so happy to have Theresa as our sitter when we are traveling. We don't worry when we are away, because she is so dependable and takes good care of our kitties.

Therresa did an absolute wondeful job. I very much enjoyed the picyures and videos of Lucky that she sent daily. Highly recommended.

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.
