Information Tess G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if a dog who is in my care pulls while being walked or if they are reactive toward other people/animals. This will not prevent me from walking them, I want to know ahead of time so I know what to expect.

A typical day

I love walking on trails and being out in nature. We might find a fun park along the way and stop for treats and toys! During walks, I bring water and a portable bowl, so your pet stays hydrated.

I love all fur babies!

Pet care experience

All pets deserve the royal treatment, and that’s exactly what I aim to provide. Through Rover, I’ve enjoyed making furry friends in Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Arkansas. I am happiest spending time with animals and allowing them to live their best lives. My dogs and I enjoy being around water and often take trips to the lake or creek. I was born into a family of dog lovers. Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born, and I have never lived without them. Throughout my life, my family has owned 11 dogs and has helped 10 strays get healthy and find forever homes. By age five, I gained more responsibility to care for our family pets. My pups are my entire world and truly my top priority. I have experience with newborn puppies all the way up to senior dogs, and I love them all the same. I have walked dogs in Texas summers and Utah winters. I am prepared for any weather and always bring extra water for them. When Rover pets are in my care, it is my duty to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. I look forward to meeting more amazing pets and providing them with the love and care they deserve!

Tessa was amazing with my pets when I was gone for a week. I have a 16 year old medically fragile min pin and she helped me so much by ensuring she ate well and they all pottied. My dogs loved her and I would rebook again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
