Pets first. Loyal, Dedicated

Pet care experience

I have been a 14 year volunteer puppy raiser for a national non-profit organization that raises service dogs to serve the disabled community. I have currently raised 7 puppies; with 3 graduating. These dogs are certified under the ADA. Before becoming a puppy raiser, I was the creator and editor of the southeast regional newsletter for the Ft. Lauderdale CCI chapter. I am also a dog trainer whose methodology is positive reinforcement dog training. I am also an expert in "clicker" training and basic obedience training. Having dog sitters myself over the years, I clearly know how it feels to have someone you can trust to not only take care of your home but keep your "kids" safe. I am loyal, dedicated and 100% committed in completing what I start. This is more than a job for me. It would be an honor to have you entrust your "kids" with me.

I give Therese my highest recommendation! First of all, Therese is 100% reliable. She shows when she says she will no matter what. 2nd Therese ensures the safety of your per and home. 3rd and just as important she is kind and loving towards all pets. she has cared for my pets amd home for over 15 yrs- she leaves my house in better condition than she found it and my pets arent all that excited to see me...meaning they were just as happy with Therese as they are me!! Therese is mature, responsible, honest, kind,careful, and considerate. Hire her - you'll be glad you did!

I highly recommend Therese to look over you're pets when you are away from home. Ms. Finnegan is responsible and reliable. She is kind and loves all animals. She has raised six CCI dogs (Canine Companions for Independence), which speaks volumes about her. My dogs are very dear to me, and on my trips that are between one week and three months, Therese gave me the confidence and the security to ensure me that my dogs we're receiving the best possible care and supervision. Therese, came across as a person that could handle any situation, whether it be an emergency or a lesser issue. Because Therese was able to put my mind at ease; I was able to prioritize my trips and accomplish required tasks. For these reasons and many others, I highly recommend Therese Finnegan. Jeff S

Therese is the absolute best pet sitter ever! I finally found the perfect fit for my cats and dogs and house! Before I found Therese I had gone thru many a sitter - always something was wrong...came home to empty water bowls, dirty house, evidence of too much or too little feeding, even one sitter that Im sure had a party. I used to go so far as to set up little ways to see if a sitter was snooping thru my stuff - often they had! When Therese leaves - the house is better than she found it, the dogs are happy and healthy, that cat is at home and comfortable. I am completely confident that she has not invaded my privacy. She arrives on time. Never leaves the dogs for long periods. I can finally go out of town without worrying. Therese has great judgment and knows when to call me and when to call the vets. I give Therese my highest recommendation

If you truly love your pet - Therese is the perfect person to provide reliable, warm, loving care with an eye on safety. Therese has been dog and cat sitting for me for many years - in my home and hers on occasion. She is 100% reliable, respectful, and compassionate. She is completely trustworthy, mature and thoughtful. Therese has a sound fund of commonsense and always ensures your pet is safe from harm. My only complaint is that my dogs are not all that excited when I come home, as they really miss her.
