Pet care experience

All animal lover+vet med experience

I have experience working in veterinary medicine, and owning many types of my own animals. I can provide care for just about any type of pet! Growing up, we always owned at least 3 cats, a dog, and a reptile. Ever since I was a child I was the primary caregiver to all of our animals. After high school I went to college for veterinary medicine, and worked as a vet tech for a few years. I eventually left to peruse a better paying job, but I am still extremely familiar with all that I learned in the veterinary medicine field. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, neighbors, and acquaintances in my life- which is what inspired me to check out rover to meet some new clients! I currently own 3 cats, a bearded dragon, and an aquarium. I am new to the area so my pet sitting schedule has freed up quite a bit.

Safety, trust & environment

I am offering drop in visits and dog walking services. With my experience in veterinary medicine, I am very particular about the way my pets and pets in my care are cared for. I can help with feedings, medicine, play time, cleaning of any messes, and can control a dog well on their leash.

Tess does a wonderful job with our dogs. I highly recommend her to walk or do a drop-in as that is what she does for us.

Tess was wonderful with my dog! He immediately loved her and she was so patient with his excitement! She worked well with his anxiousness and let him enjoy himself on walks and provided great updates!

Tess has been walking my 2 dogs for about a month now, a few times a week. I could go on and on about how much my dogs and I love her! She is on time, she communicates quickly and in detail, and provides excellent care as if my dogs were her own. She even helps give them medicine as well. I can tell that my dogs trust her and enjoy their time with her. 10/10 highly recommended for any pet services.

I can say enough good things about Tess. She’s punctual, caring and always gives me detailed updates about the walks. Peaches adores her and is becoming more comfortable with her. A truly wonderful dog walker :)

Tess provided excellent care for my pup, Peaches. She is very thorough in what she does. She made sure to learn about Peaches’s character to her meds to her quirks. She was not only timely but also very gentle with my baby. Peaches just adores Tess! She has my highest recommendations. Thank you Tess!

I own my own salon business so my schedule is very flexible and completely in my own control. I usually work longer days on the weekend, but could be available in the evenings. Mon/Tues/Weds/Fri are usually very open and Thursdays are flexible availability as well.

I am able to accommodate many special needs, medications, or restrictions that your dog may need throughout their day- or even if they just have a favorite park or toy they would like to have that day.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
