Safety, trust & environment

I am very communicative around boundaries for myself and the owner ensuring an comfortable and reliable service. Although unable to have pets at my residence, I am in constant communication with the owners around comfortability levels with entering and exiting a home for pet care. An understanding of the pet’s breed/family will also allow me to better navigate the best care techniques so that both the owner and companion are attended to well.

Information Tenesha C. would like to know about your pet

I believe understanding a pet’s past and current environments is the perfect foundation for me to tailor your pet’s care experience ensuring a comfortable, personalized, and intentional service for the pet, owner, and myself. Any physical limitations or dietary restrictions must also be communicated ahead of time to confirm any health precautions. I will ask that you leave any emergency contacts accessible if challenges arise.

A typical day

I love keeping myself and companions active with a variety of activities such a walk, jogs, fetch, and other enrichment activities. I also understand a nice cool down for our special friends and love local creameries that carry dog-friendly sorbets for treats.

Pet care experience

Along with having my own kittens (Killua & Kanary), I have 5+ years of experience supporting family friends, neighbors, and colleagues care for their companions with daily activities and services. As someone who grew up in rural Kansas, animals have always been apart of my life — big and small— and it feels like a special duty of mine to ensure that their life is just as fulfilling as they deserve. It sticks with me that our fur companions on this earth are just a fraction of our life as we are their entire life. While being a full time graduate student, I’ve set my sights and time on being open to supporting my New York neighbors care for their furry family members. From babies to elders, I’m experimenting in administering medicine, attending to special diets and needs, and providing the warmest cuddles 🥰

Tenesha is extremely conscientiou, thorough and clearly loves cats. If I weren't so jetlagged I'd have a lot more to say but I highly recommend her to take care of your kitties!
