Meet Theresa, owner of Wagitude Dog Hotel Owner and Certified Professional Pet Sitter.When their people are out of town, dogs deserve more than a kennel and a cold floor. They need love and attention and couches to feel comfortable and at home. And that's why I started my loved dog hotel.
Welcome to my website! I'm Theresa, and I have extensive training and many certifications related to working with animals. I also volunteer with the Humane Society Upper Valley, Remembering Ruby Rabbit Rescue, and the zoo in Idaho Falls. I have taken workshops from the American Humane for Disaster Animal Response Team-PAWS of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Disaster Sheltering for Companion Animals, which was hosted by PAWS of Jackson Hole, and FEMA courses. This training gave me the me skills to assist in and care for animals during natural disasters such as hurricanes and fires. I also am knowledgeable about rescuing dogs from puppy mills.
I am a Certified Humane Educator Specialist from the Association of Professional Humane Educators. Humane Education is a form of character education that stresses respect, compassion, and responsibility with regard to the treatment of all animals, people, and the preservation of natural habitats. My family and I have volunteered for the last several years in Southern Utah at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, which is the nation's largest animal sanctuary, working with birds, pigs, dogs, rabbits and many special needs cats. I am also certified in The Link, which is a coalition that addresses the link between animal abuse and human cruelty. For every dog who visits Wagitude Loved Dog Hotel, I donate part of the proceeds to different animal welfare and rescue groups, including the Animal Legal Defense Fund. I also enjoy dressing in a dog costume for animal rescue group events and fundraisers!

"I have known Theresa for 5 years and in that 5 years, she has proven over and over what an amazing person she is. I run a pet sitting business and she has been my amazing and devoted assistant for the past 4 years. Not only is she always willing to help me with a visit when I’m overbooked, she goes out of her way to make the animals feel special and loved and always spends extra time playing with them or walking them or giving them massages and of course, always lots of kisses. She falls in love with all of them. She has also taken care of my dogs, cats and chickens many times and always sends me text updates and pictures of her visits with them. She’s dedicated, honest and reliable but most of all, she loves every animal she cares for and respects them and treats them just as she does her own furry family. She is the ultimate pet lover and I feel lucky to know such a kind person and be able to call her my friend and assistant."
