Pet care experience

Dog trainer with flexible schedule

I’ve had dogs my whole life and was an activator participant in their care growing up. I pet sat for neighbor’s cats and dogs all through high school and after graduating college I fostered puppies as young as 8 weeks and dogs as old as 10 years. My own dog recently passed, but she was elderly so I have experience giving meds and providing special care for senior pups. I also teach puppy socialization and obedience classes part time, so your pup might learn a trick or two after their time with me!

Tess is a loving pet owner herself and an accomplished dog trainer. She knows how to manage behavioral issues and give corrective cues and is a great teacher for pets and humans alike. Would highly recommend Tess for any pet needs!

Tess was so wonderful to our pup, Piper! She gave her so much love and took her on a great walk. She even worked with piper on her command training to make her work her brain a bit! She has a really great understanding of dogs behaviors and needs as she teaches puppy obedience and socialization classes in her spare time. I would definitely recommend Tess as a caregiver as she shows so much love for pets and is great at working with them! We will be asking her to care for Piper in the future!

I could not think of a more perfect dog caregiver than Tess! She loves all dogs and has so much knowledge about them through all of her experience. She’s grown up owning dogs and along the way has fostered many dogs young and old, volunteered at local shelters and she currently teaches puppy/dog training classes in the area. Tess is always on time and is very responsible.

Please let me know any special needs your dog may have including physical or behavioral needs. I am happy to care for dogs who are reactive, as I have experience with that!
