“Teresa was absolutely fabulous!! From the first meeting our two dogs and our senior cat adored her and were completely at ease. It made our trip away so much more fun because we didn't worry about our fur kids. Teresa sent us pictures several times a day and kept me updated on me dosages. She also noticed strange behavior from our cat that will warrant a vet visit so I'm very thankful for that! Teresa even cleaned up and washed the sheets and remade the bed! We will definitely book Teresa next time we need a sitter and I hope she'll be available!!! Don't hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting, she is outstanding!”

About: Attention to detail, caring, will update owners regularly, loves animals. I have helped family members and friends care for their pets and always got great reviews. I volunteered at a veterinarian's office in South Florida for two years. I walked, cleaned and cared for all of the animals including dogs and cats. I have always been caring for all animals. I also have volunteered at the Jacksonville zoo. I have helped care for other types of animals including horses, snakes, lizards, parrots, gerbils, pet rats, and insects. My fiancee is also an expert with animals. She has been around and cared for many pets (both cats and dogs) throughout her life. She took several classes and has medical experience with house held pets. I am a trustworthy and loyal sitter.
