Safety, trust & environment

I currently love a 2 year old male Irish doodle puppy and a 3 year old female orange tabby kitten. They are very friendly with each other and everyone who visits. We think it's important to have rules and structure so they are both trained and well behaved but thoroughly loved and cared for. l am comfortable with putting dogs in crates, letting them out, feeding, and administering medication if necessary; really whatever attending to their normal schedule.

Please let me know about any special needs for your pet beforehand. This would include medications, dietary preferences, normal schedule, and behavioral tendencies. The more I know about your pet the better I can keep them confortable and happy!

A typical day

I enjoying taking dogs on long walks for exercise and socialization. I'm extremely comfortable with leash training and keep dogs safe while outside. For higher energy dogs I can provide balls for fetch to release some energy and learn some new tricks along the way!

Pet care experience

I’ve always grown up with multiple dogs at a time. My parents currently love a 5 year old German shepherd, an 8 year old English shepherd, and an 8 year old Staffordshire terrier. I myself now love a 2 year old Irish setter doodle that I have well trained with my boyfriend, and a 3 year old orange tabby kitten!

Tess was great. Sent updates throughout the week with photos. Plenty of walks and snuggles were had. Came home to a home the same as we left it and happy pets.

Tess is great! My two dogs clearly were loved by the look from all the pictures she sent me. The house is as clean as I left it and she communicated the whole time I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her again.
