About Theresa

Experience: 3 yrs

I have many years of experience with dogs, am a current foster for ARL (dogs, guinea pigs, rabbit) and own my own dog and guinea pigs. Some grooming experience. I have an extra cage set up so could board your guinea pigs at my home for round-the-clock care, or could come to your home for daily care. I can do some overnights on many weekends, and dog walking, playing, training, etc. almost any day. I live on an acreage so your dog could come to my house and I can easily keep our dogs separated, as we have a big barn to run and play in the winter, or I can stay overnight in your home if your dog struggles with changing environments. I've been through obedience classes and have helped train many foster dogs. I have lived with and cared for cats as well, but my primary experience is with dogs and guinea pigs. Some experience with hermit crabs as well. If you're traveling for a length of time I also know how to maintain and test/clean salt water pools, and can maintain a garden.

We LOVE Theresa. She is so good with our dogs and they are excited to see her when she comes over. She has also helped train our dogs to be respectful and safe during walks. Can’t say enough good things.
