Pet care experience
Herndon’s Loving Pet Care
I am located in the Herndon/Reston area with my French Bulldog and Great Dane. I'd love to take your pooch out for a walk in the nearby parks or trails, as many times throughout the day as your dog needs. I will provide extraordinary personal care and attention to your dog, with as many cuddles, treats, and belly rubs as they desire. Inclement weather doesn't affect me much, so even when the weather is less than ideal I am willing to take your dog out as much as necessary. I have 18+ years experience as a pet sitter and dog walker and have also spent time volunteering at a doggie day care and working at an animal shelter. I have worked at multiple veterinary hospitals as well, meaning I have vast experience with all types of animals. I have had multiple dogs myself and love to spend time with pooches of all ages and sizes. With so much experience around dogs and pets, I am comfortable dealing with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I absolutely adore dogs and would love to meet and take care of your special family member.

Ratings and reviews
Tess was great with my very shy kitty. She kept me updated with great photos and messages. I really appreciate her extra effort!
Tess was wonderful with our two senior dogs. They took to her quickly and the icing on the cake is when they trusted her enough to sleep with her! She kept us informed and shared pics of the boys. We will definitely be using her for all our dog sitting needs.
Tess was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my Frenchie and two Quaker parrots. She sent updates every day along with photos and her communication was consistent. She is a very loving and kind person and you can see that as soon as you meet her. I would 100% ask Tess to watch my pets again.
This is the second time we used Tess and our dog loves her! We had her stop by multiple times a day for 2 days while we were out of town. Our dog just had double TPLO surgery and needed some extra care as she is recovering and Tess did everything we asked her. We will 100% be using Tess again!
Tess was awesome! We hired her to do two 30-min walks on a weekend afternoon and she was great. Extremely communicative and on top of what she was doing. One the first walk, they got caught in a rain storm and had the wherewithal to message me to ask for a towel rather than just letting our dog air dry in the house. The second walk was hot and muggy and it was great to know that Tess was paying attention to our dog (per her summary) and when our dog was getting tired, she catered to River. We will be using Tess again!
I couldn't have been happier with the way Tess cared for my dog. She went above and beyond when my dog was unexpectedly anxious and difficult to manage. he treated him with the same care I would have, probably with more patience. I am so grateful she watched my boy, she definitely made a very challenging start to his stay much more relaxed for me and my dog. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Schedule
I’m available weekdays and weekends. I’m flexible to work with you and your pet’s needs, figuring out how often they need someone with them, etc. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can be around a lot.
