“Absolutely amazing experience with TeAsia! Having a sitter in one's home takes things to a whole different level. We felt reassured from our very first meeting and our pets loved her instantly! We received multiple, detailed status updates each day along with pictures. We also came home to a house that was cleaner than the one we left behind. Cannot recommend TeAsia highly enough. We look forward to having her in our home again!”

“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.
About: I’ve been caring for all my own dogs 40 years, all my grand puppies and friends dogs for over 12 years I love them all I’m retired and mostly have any day or night of the week open. I do house sitting in your home. And will do check in I will stay overnight with pets at your home. I find it creates less stress for the pets not to move them from there home
“Molly watched our two dogs and lizard while we were on vacation, and as always she did a tremendous job! I know the animals are all in excellent care with Molly, and we always get photos and videos along the way. Since the weather is changing, and the dogs tend to bring things in the house (sticks, leaves), and she also did a quick sweep up for us and threw our sheets into the wash, etc. She is outstanding!”

My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son.

About: Growing up on a farm, we had almost every breed of dog there is. From St Bernards to Chihuahuas, I've cared for them all. Since then, I have taken care of many dogs, cats, and houses, and am always enjoy getting to take care of peoples furry loved ones! I work 5 minutes from home during the day, and myself and my husband are home in the evenings. I take my dogs outs 4-5 times a day, and usually put other dogs I watch on that same schedule, unless the owner requests otherwise.

I am diligent about cleaning up after pets, playing with them and giving them some company, and then making sure the house is locked and safe until I return again.
“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”
