Pet care experience

Flexible schedule for cats and dogs

I started walking neighborhood dogs at 8 to show my parents I was responsible enough to own a dog. Since then, I’ve taken an active role in caring for our family dogs, including walks, feeding, administering medication, light puppy training, playtime, and of course, pets and snuggles.

Safety, trust & environment

To best care for your pets in your home, I would love to be briefed on any safety precautions you take with your particular pets! Do they run for squirrels? How do they feel about other people or dogs? Any details you think would be pertinent are great!

Tess was super communicative during the whole time she looked after my cat, and I felt very at ease with her. She took great care of Juno and would definitely use her again when we are out of town

Tess was super friendly and communicative - she took great care of our shy kitty. We came home to a happy cat and clean apartment! Would highly recommend and book again in the future.

Tess has watched my cat, Cooper, several times in the recent past. Tess is reliable, kind, and attentive with the pets she looks after and their owners too! My cat is a picky guy and often hides from visitors to our home, but when Tess shows up, he is the first one to greet her at the door. She is a great pet caregiver. I would highly recommend her services!

If you're looking for someone to treat your animals like her own, look no further! Tess is the girl who stops on the street to marvel at the bodega cat in the window and points out every dog on the street as if they are the most adorable thing she's ever seen. My cat immediately took a liking to her and they bonded instantly. She made sure she had the right amount of food, handled the litter box and sent several pics so I could peek in on how the cat was doing. It eased my anxiety so much knowing Tess had as much of an interest in my pet as I did.

I’d love to know about any stressors for your pets! I want them to feel as safe as possible with me and avoid any situations where they might feel unsettled.
