About
I have provided high quality pet services for a number of years now. I work well with owners of the dogs/cats/birds/fish/other meeting their needs. Whether it be dog sitting, or cat sitting, providing companionship & vet appointments when needed and maintaining Heath issues as needed. I pet sit which is always a great experience. Getting to know each dog, cat, bird, reptile,other and their individual personalities gives me great pleasure. I also walk dogs and the dog walks I have at this time each one shows their excitement in their own personal way. I presently work for a no-kill cat shelter. I clean, scoop, medicate when necessary and give a report everyday to the executive director. I have been involved with animals for some time now and involved with a non profit no kill cat shelter for approx 15 years. It's very enjoyable and fulfilling. I took care of the dogs boarded at VCA animal hospital and also in treatment area. Unfortunately they are only open 6 days a week now which deleted my position there. I take pride in taking care of any health issues that arise by notifying someone from the medical team also by medicating the animals as well. I take great pride in caring for animals and also being an advocate for animals. I take great pride in making the animals comfortable and loved. I will take snapshots of the pets and check in daily with the owners so they are totally in the loop while they are away. I am one person who has knowledge thru my experience, learned knowledge and involvement with cats and dogs and their behaviors and quite capable of seeing any emergency type situation that may arise while in my care. Because it's always about the animals well being and what's best for the animals i am absolutely a great caretaker for animals and because they need someone who can speak for them. They are all such innocent beings and deserve the best always and this is why i will do a great job for you.

Teri is a gem! I have 3 cats and she played with them and cared for and about them. One needs meds and she gave it to him without incident. She would also let me know how much water they drank every day and noted the litter box output. I recommend her to anyone!!!!!

Teresa was excellent in caring for our 7 desert tortoises and feeding our wild birds in every way. She seemed to completely understand our bond with our tortoises and went out of her way to keep us updated about them by texting us photos of them every time she visited. Teresa is very smart, organized, very professional and extremely caring. We are so happy to have found her and look forward to having her care for our tortoises again when they come out of hibernation.

Teresa is very professional & caring. She did a beautiful job looking after my two fur babies. The daily updates with pics was great. I definitely recommend Teresa to anyone & if my boys could talk they would give her paws up
