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!

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!

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.
