Safety, trust & environment

My dog has reactive tendencies so I completely empathize with each pet needing specific and unique care. I will follow the guidelines you set to ensure they’re comfortable whether that be on walks or in home care.

Information Tess D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I need to account for. I’d love to know more about their personality and what works best for them.

A typical day

I absolutely love playing with dogs! We’ll go on walks around the neighborhood or nearby trails and engage in whatever their preferred play style is.

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved animals - we had a dog and cat growing up, and I now own a dog of my own. I have always genuinely loved providing for animals. I’ve been housesitting for as long as I can remember and I’m here to help with any pet’s need.

Tess did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. One of our cats has diabetes and she did great administering his insulin. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures that we very much looked forward to. There were a few things that came up at the house that I needed help with, and she went above and beyond to help out. I was able to relax knowing my kiddos were in great hands. Will 110% book with Tess again!
