Tess can care for
Availability
M-F, I work 8 hour shifts in person at my job at the ASPCA. I compensate for that by tiring your pet out before / after I get home from work, and spending all weekend with them :)

About Tess L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For clients homes, I ask for a thorough walk through and some kind of written instruction so I can refer back to it during the stay.
Information Tess L. would like to know about your pet
How they act towards cats, children, and other dogs; when on a walk how to respond to people asking to pet them, if they have any triggers, etc.
A typical day
I'll make sure to take your dog on walks involving parks and greenery. I promise to play fetch and rub your dog's belly. I will always pick up their poop. I will play with your kitty and pet them if they wish. The cat is in control, I am merely a servant!!

ASPCA veterinary assistant :)
Pet care experience
Doggie first aid/CPR certified! Currently working for the ASPCA as a senior veterinary assistant. I am trained in fear-free positive reenforcement animal handling. Comfortable with handling reactive / anxious dogs, slow introductions with lots of treats. I maintain consistent communication with my clients, and constantly provide updates via pictures/videos. I always let your pet come to me first, and ask the owner before hand how their pet prefers to be approached! I also use treats and toys to establish trust. Looking forward to meeting your buddy!! :)
Cat care experience
Tess also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Thank you SO much. Mashy had a great time and clearly loves you. Really appreciate your help!
Tess was punctual and asked lots of great questions about Percy! I’m sure he’ll be in good hands.
Tess was incredible. She sent multiple photos everyday, was super communicative, left our apartment super clean (even brought our packages in) and updated us everyday! Our kitties are shyer but through the many pics we could tell they felt super comfortable and safe with her. We already hired her for another 10 day trip and we can’t recommend her enough!
Tess was so amazing! She kept us up to date, sent a bunch of photos & videos and both of our dogs loved her.
