About Us
Welcome to Always Home
For nearly 25 years, we’ve helped pets (and their people) feel confident, relaxed, and well cared for while apart.
We’re not a kennel, and we’re not a gig app. We’re a family-run, in-home pet care service trusted by hundreds of families since 2002. Whether it’s belly rubs, quiet companionship, or long walks on familiar sidewalks, we’re here to keep your pets’ days as close to normal—and as joyful—as possible.
Dog Owners
PLEASE LET US KNOW about your dog's behavior. If there is anything we need to know in order for everyone concerned to have the best experience. Please let us know if you answer yes to any of the following questions.
1. Does your dog display anxiety? Thunderstorms? Fireworks? Separation? Children? Other dogs? People?
2. Does your dog display aggression? Food? Toys? Dogs? People? Children?
3. Is your dog house-trained?
The Heart Behind the Pawprints
Terri founded Always Home in 2002 with a love for animals and a strong cup of coffee. As a solo business owner, she’s your sitter, walker, planner, and point of contact—ensuring every pet gets the care and attention they deserve.
Her husband, Terry, brings the calm, the tech skills, and a soft spot for cats. (Some call him the Dog Whisperer. Others call him the Cat Concierge.) Together, they make a caring, capable team.

How To Begin
Make an appointment for a Meet & Greet to see if we're a good fit for each other. Once we agree we’re a fit, we’ll send a link via email to set up your online portal with us. Once you’ve input all your info, you can download our app to your phone. Your portal allows you to input your information and your pet's info, make reservations, and view pet report cards of how your pets are doing while in service with us; this will also include pics and videos. The app allows you to track walks and see the route we walked just like a fitness app. It also allows you to see our arrival & departure times for our pet-sitting, dog-walking, and house sitting clients.

"Terry & Terri does a fantastic job. I have never boarded my 12 year old dog. We had a nice meet and greet to see how she would do with her own pets and the surrendering area.
We made a quick 3 day trip. Terry sent us pictures and updates on how she was doing. We used them a month later for a week. No problems. We have her book to go again in Nov.
Terry has helped me a few times booking on line, when I had messed up. He is very nice and explains to you what you need to do.
Terri, when you come to pickup she will give you an overall account of the stay.
Both are great and I would highly recommend them. The pricing is very reasonable."

"Always Home Pet Sitting is a favorite of ours- my husband and I AND our two small dogs! They are reliable, professional, experienced, friendly and love what they do! We usually get them to pet sit in our home when we travel and it’s convenient and wonderful having someone here when we are gone. Our puppies sleep with us on our king-sized bed and Terry sleeps with them when he’s here! They LOVE both Terry & Terri. We let the puppies stay over with them due to a scheduling conflict and the puppies had a BLAST! We highly recommend Always Home Pet Sitting!!! They have actually become friends because of the relationship we’ve built over the years."

"If you want peace of mind that your pets are taken care of while you are away, I recommend Terry & Terri. They are reliable, always take great care of my cats and fish, and they send pictures and updates so I know my pets have been well taken care of. Their app makes scheduling and maintaining chat history and pet care notes super easy. Also, they're even kind enough to bring in packages and such if needed. This is really appreciated especially when I'm away for a long stretch. I really recommend them!"

"I was a little bit nervous because my dog is very anxious because she was a rescue dog, but they gave me updates and pictures of her throughout her day which made me feel at ease. My husband said that when he went to get her, she didn’t want to leave! lol
I definitely will use them again and would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter!"

"We have used Always Home Pet Sitting to dog sit overnight in our home multiple times, once for almost a week. They were very responsive and worked with us to be available the dates we were going to be out of town. We appreciated the daily updates and photos of our pup. When Terri and Terry stay with him, he seems much less stressed than normal when we return home!"
