Enjoy a tranquil pueblo with a furry companion

Introduction

I am the Executive Director of a national trail organization who lives in Santa Fe and travels all over for work. I have a rescue collie/border collie who is my sweet, loving and active best friend. We love daily walks and adventures in the outdoors!

Home & location

My little Adobe is an open floor plan, Pueblo style home. It has a fun kitchen great for cooking, 2 good sized bedrooms and separate bathrooms (recently remodeled) and a warm and inviting great room perfect for watching the sunset or just reading a book.

Responsibilities

Staying at my home will entail taking care of my sweet dog Riley and watering my green babies depending on the time of year! My dog Riley is a young dog who loves his daily walks in the neighboring arroyo /bike path. We walk every day for between 1 hour to 1 and 1/2 hour and then periodically through out the day we play in the backyard or he just gets belly rubs while I do other things. He’s also a very interested yoga companion who will “help” by making sure the yoga mat is “just right”. He is otherwise very low maintenance and aside from twice daily feedings, keeping fresh water full- and his favorite belly rubs- it’s an easy stay. My plants may need some watering depending on time of year and weather but they are also very easy- and you may even get to reap the rewards in fresh vegetables and herbs! While Riley is incredibly friendly, I prefer sitters that do not have any additional pets and due to insurance reasons, I prefer sitters with out children.

Staying in Teressa’s home with Riley was very enjoyable. Riley is such a sweet pup and quick to make you his person. The neighborhood was welcoming and taking Riley on walks always led to meeting new people and animals. This was my second time sitting here and I’d highly recommend it!

I couldn't imagine a better first pet sit with trusted housesitters than at Teresa's. Riley was so sweet and very calm while I was working. The nearby trail is beautiful and I looked forward to our walks each day. Riley's also a great cuddler if you're up for it. :) Teresa was really easy to communicate with and just an all around kind soul. Would definitely sit again!

I so enjoyed staying at Teresa's lovely adobe home with Riley. Riley is gentle, sweet and lives for his belly rubs!!! And the belly rubs are a great way to clean his feet after being outside because he is laying on his side. After a couple of days he began to show his playful side and had several toys he liked to retrieve or just play with on his own. There is a near by park for short walks and the Arroyo Chamiso Trail for longer walks, which both Riley and I like. Riley was always on the lookout for the ground squirrels that dig holes in the sand. He is so curious about them when they stick their heads out of the holes. Riley receives lots of nice comments when on the path, "Oh, you have a beautiful dog!' Kinda feel Riley knows it! Communicated via text with Teresa while she was away, and was responsive when I had several questions, and kept me updated about her return. Truly a joyful stay.

Jinnie was a great sitter. She was communicative, responsive and organized. Riley enjoyed her and was happy when I got home- always a great thing. She was responsible and I came home to a clean home!

Francesca is wonderful. Riley was very happy when I got home which means he didn't miss me that much. Francesca is organized, thoughtful and very communicative.
