Pet care experience

I Grew Up with Pets * I Have Pets *

I grew up with pets; I have pets. I have been caring for other people's pets for almost forty years; most of my clients are through personal referrals and have been with me for decades! I am a true and genuine animal lover. I prefer the floor to the couch and enjoy spending time with anyone who has scales, fin, feathers and especially fur! What makes us different? There are four of us! There is always extra support. My young adult children, husband and I support each other with specific clients in order to make sure pets always have proper care. My young adult children care for pets in their own environment in order to not disrupt routines. We stay as close to THEIR schedule as possible with little interruption. Note: We have experience with specialty care; blind and/or deaf dogs. If you have any questions and would like to talk; I would welcome your call. Thank you, in advance, for your time!

House Sitting • Aug 07, 2025

These guys are amazing!!! I was so concerned about leaving my dogs, normally they would come with us but this trip they were not able to. Theses guys have totally put my mind at ease. I get pictures everyday and text messages a couple times a day letting me know everything's going great. You can tell how much they care about animals, making sure they feel loved and well taken care of! I would highly recommend them.

Headline: My Shy Cats Found Loving Care with Therese and Mike! I was thrilled with the care Therese and Mike Turkish provided for my two shy cats while I was away. They not only kept them fed and healthy but also went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and well-being. My cats, Bela and Nala, are both quite timid, and I was initially worried about how they would handle a new environment and caregiver. However, Therese and Mike quickly put them at ease with their gentle and patient approach. They took the time to understand their individual personalities and created a calm and stress-free environment for them. I especially appreciated how Therese and Mike: Made sure my cats were well-fed and had fresh water at all times. Cleaned their litter box regularly. Provided them with plenty of playtime and cuddles (when they were ready). Sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Even brought in my mail, which was a huge help! When I returned home, my cats were relaxed and happy, and it was clear they had been well taken care of. I am so grateful to Therese and Mike for their excellent service, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and reliable cat sitter.

Therese has been watching my animals (dogs, cats and birds) for over thirty years. I have never once worried about them while under her care. She loves animals like no other person I have ever met. She is honest, trustworthy and responsible; she is the only person I trust with my beloved pets.

Therese has been cat sitting for us for about 2 years. I can't say more about her; she is loving, she treats my cat like it's her own animal. She is very dependable and honest! You would be so happy with her! Yvonne

I have known Therese L. for over ten years. She has the biggest heart and love for animals, especially dogs. Her dogs are family to her. Therese took care of my dog for me in the past. He was in the best care! 🐾❤️🐾

Therese will care for your fur babies as if they’re her own. Her love of animals shows in all facets of care and animals sense her love for them. She is honest, trustworthy and respectful. Your babies will love the time with her and she takes the responsibility very seriously. Your babies will love when Therese comes for her visits. My 3 cats adore her! And I know they are well cared for and that enables me to enjoy my travels. She is a godsend!!!!!!
