I have owned and cared for pets all of my life, and know that they are truly members of the family and how they can bless our lives.  Having spent more than 20 years juggling a career with raising children and caring for my own pets, I know first-hand the challenges of balancing all of the demands of long days at the office, kids, travel, social and civic obligations, etc.  I also understand that many pet owners are sometimes physically unable to meet the exercise requirements of their pets.  Out of my love for pets, and my desire to help other pet owners find that "balance", Leashes & Litterboxes was born!

I live in Minnetonka with my husband John. We have three kids away at college, and two others who are married and live close by. We have also been blessed with two adorable granddaughters!

Our other "kids" currently include a dog, a cat, a cockatiel, and a grand-dog! We adopted Jake, our very handsome Golden Retriever, through the rescue/adoption organization RAGOM (Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota, www.RAGOM.org). Jake spent his first few months of life in a puppy mill, and we are convinced he knows that he has been given a second chance. He is a constant source of unconditional love, humor, energy and inspiration. We adopted our cat Chloe several years ago, following the death of a family friend. She needed a new home, and we were ready to take her in. Our 12-year-old Cockatiel, Abby, does her best to "rule the roost", and has absolutely no fear of any of the other pets!

Theresa has been working for Leashes and Litterboxes since May 2006. She grew up in a small town in North West Iowa where her family’s Basset Hound "Ed" was a well known character in the community.

Theresa has had a variety of jobs from Retail Management to Administrative Assistant but feels she’s finally found her calling in life. She says: "I love dogs, I love being outside, and I love being active – what could be more perfect?" Although she didn’t grow up with cats, her siblings have owned several and she’s become quite fond of her feline clients.

Theresa lives in Shorewood with her husband Jim and their very mellow Yellow Lab, Ben.
