Local, Trusted Care for Dogs & Cats
Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet.

Ratings and reviews
Tess was dependable, on-time, and very communicative. Thank you for taking care of my babies.
Tess made drop off very easy. She was very kind and loving towards Pepita. She was very responsive and understanding when I was running late. Her and her wife were very welcoming and I will 100% book with Tess again if I am ever in the area!
our dog didn’t want to come home. tess took such good care of our pup - she was walked multiple times a day even though she had yard access and got so many snuggles. she felt right at home. thanks, Tess!
I dont know how Tess does it, but my dogs have the biggest smiles when we get home. Love coming home to happy and tuckered out pups.
Tess did a great job checking in on our dog while we were at work! Can’t wait to have her back!
Tess was great! I’m glad I could trust her to take care of my baby.

Schedule
Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.
