Tess is amazing! This is the first time that we have ever gone away and left our fur babies with anyone. Tess was so great at keeping us informed every day on how they were doing and also including pictures in her messages. We will definitely be using her again.

Tess was absolutely amazing while taking care of my dog, Ralph, for 7 nights! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what she does. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Ralph can be a bit particular, but he warmed up to Tess right away—it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her hands. She went above and beyond to make sure his routine stayed consistent, and I could tell he got plenty of love and attention. When I came back, Ralph was relaxed, healthy, and honestly seemed like he had his own little vacation! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Tess to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and truly exceptional with dogs. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Tess was incredible with our Linguine! 😊 I appreciated all of the updates I received throughout our vacation. She made us feel at ease knowing our corgi was in awesome hands. Thanks again Tess, you’re amazing 💕

Thanks Tess for taking such good care of Rolo! He had a great time! Rolo took to Tess so quickly, and looked so happy in the photo updated which put me at ease immediately. Would definitely love to come back next time.
