Highlights
Pet care experience
ASPCA veterinary assistant :)
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.
Qualifications
Pets
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.
Ratings and reviews
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.
We are extremely grateful for booking with Tess! When our senior dog had stomach issues on the first day, Tess was happy to cook and feed our dog a bland meal to help him feel better. She took great care of both of our pets and was highly communicative, especially when we were worrying about our dog’s stomach issues. We highly recommend booking with Tess!
Juno had a great time on her walk with Tess. Would definitely recommend!
I’m truly so grateful for the way Tess showed up as a pet sitter! She took the time to come out to my apartment a week early to meet my dog who’s wary of new people and was fearless in the face of her anxious chihuahua guardedness. I felt so relieved and honestly supported by Tess in my first trip leaving my dog with a new person. She’s a rockstar! I highly recommend working with her and hope to book with her again for future trips!!

Schedule
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 :)
