Love all animals like my own!

House Sitting • Aug 12, 2026

Extremely pleased with Tess! She came through when I was in a bind and took amazing care of my dogs and cat. Made sure they were all happy and had the best care, she shared pictures and updates often, and went out of her way to try to help my cat who was injured just prior to her watching my pets. Highly recommend.

Tess has been watching my dogs for years. She is always on time. Treats them like her own. I never have to worry if they’re getting taken care of properly. She is the best!

Tess took excellent care of my Norman. He’s a high maintenance Dalmatian and she made sure all his needs were met. Five stars!! We will definitely be using her services again!

A typical day

I like to go new places with the dogs for both of us to enjoy our surroundings. If they are a dog that likes the dog park we can go there or if they prefer one-on-one play then we can stay in my or your backyard.

Let me know if your dog does well with cats or not so I can be aware with my cats for our time together. Also if they are happy pee-ers, so I can try keep that from happening on my new carpet.
