Pet care experience

I love all fur babies!

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!

This was my first time using Rover and I am SO GLAD I found Tess. She was incredibly prompt when we were booking and was very professional. When she watched my pets, without fail, she sent me daily photos and was very transparent about problems that arose while I was gone. She made me feel very confident that my pets were being watched and cared for! Two of my pets take daily meds and she was meticulous about their routine and sending me photos of that as well. I highly recommend her!

Tess was amazing with our cat! She spent time with Mabel, gave her treats, fed her, and played with her when she stopped by. This was the first time Tess had sat for our cat, so I was happy when Mabel came right to her. We will definitely be using Tess again for our pet sitting needs. She also sent notes and lots of pictures!

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.

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.
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.
