Please contact us via phone, text, or email to schedule your complimentary meet and greet. During this visit, I will meet you and your pet(s) and we will review your specific pet care needs. For you to be best prepared for our initial meeting, please know that I will be addressing a couple of specific items.

First, I would like your pet to have ID tags for its collar if your pet will be going outdoors during my visits.

Secondly, if I will be entering your home using a key, please have that ready for me. I will keep it in a secure lock box for future use if you intend to use PetSitz on a recurring basis, or return it to you after the service is completed.

Looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

My name is Teri Walkup, and what a WONDERFUL job I have! I am so grateful that my good friend, Pam, asked me to work for PetSitz back in 2007. From the very first job I had caring for two sweet black cats at Christmas, it has been a wild ride! I bought PetSitz in 2009 and have enjoyed this journey immensely. We (my husband, David, and I and our three daughters) have always loved having pets… dogs, birds, fish, turtles, and even mice. I am a “Grandma ” to four cats, and I always have fun when they come to visit. For many years, I taught in the public school system in special education before staying home to raise and homeschool our girls. It was when our youngest went off to Hoover Middle School that I bought the business. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t start writing down all the wonderful and crazy adventures owning PetSitz has provided me with. It would have been great material for a book! I am thankful for the love of my furry, finned, and feathered friends and the continued support of their “parents”. This business is not just a job. It is my passion and a true labor of love.

Amy

We are SO happy and grateful to have Teri at PetSitz care for our pets whenever we are away. We trust 100% that our pets will be loved and well cared for, and that if anything does come up, Teri will communicate effectively with us to make sure that the situation is resolved in the best way possible. PetSitz is top notch, and we are so thankful to have found Teri and PetSitz. We know we will always come home to happy pets, thanks to Teri!

Dawn

Teri, of PetSitz, has been taking care of my cats for more than six years. I have had as many as six, and she puts food out for the feral cats I feed as well. She’ll leave a daily diary, if desired, and will call if needed. I feel very comfortable leaving my beloved cats in Teri’s tender care. Last, but not least, her rates are very reasonable.

Wendy

If you are looking for reliable, trustworthy care for your “like family” pets, Teri Walkup of PetSitz is your best choice. One time, she needed to care for our second-floor cat AND our garage cat at the same time! We trust Teri 100%, and she genuinely loves our pets.

Michelle

My cat, Lucy, has told me that Teri Walkup up at PetSitz is the cat’s meow! She loves being spoiled by Teri. I trust her often to take good care of my kitty when I cannot. Thank you, Teri!

Ken

Maggie and Carla have received such wonderful care from Teri of PetSitz that they have accepted her as part of the flock! Acceptance into the flock is the ultimate compliment from a parrot.

Irene

We are Kyra, Lola (the dogs), Mango (parrot), and Emma and Snowflake (diamond doves) and we live in Melbourne Beach with our mom Irene. For the past 15 plus years, Teri at PetSitz has been our sitter when our mom has to travel, and we can’t go along. We always look forward to seeing Teri because she lets us out to play, go to the potty, and she gives us treats!
