I’m Teresa Chavez, the owner of Montgomery County Pet Sitters. For the past decade, I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish–even a scrambled egg-eating turtle named Lucky! I feel lucky to have a special connection to animals, ever since I was a small girl.
Before I became a full-time animal caregiver, I worked in the childcare industry. It is a true honor to be known by clients for being responsible, trustworthy and loving.

(Many of these photos were taken before the Covid-19 pandemic. These days, all my selfies with pets are in a mask, and I limit time indoors with dogs.)
