Hi! I’m Tess!
Pet care experience
Both of my parents own/have owned a dog kennel. Starting at the age of 10, I began helping out walking, feeding, and loving on dogs. At 13, I worked as a part-time manager and associate at their kennel, managing medicine, cleaning, feeding, walking, and other duties. I also currently work part-time at another dog kennel in Sunbury when I am not playing softball or in school. My family owns 7 dogs, ranging in size from a Great Dane (who is deaf) to a Brussels Griffon! I have experience with hundreds of different breeds, as well as different medications, feeding instructions, and other special treatments depending on the breed. I also love to train dogs! While I am not certified to train, I have trained all of my own dogs to sit, stay, and lay down. Just something I would love to work on at no cost to get better at!
About Tess M.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have lots of toys, leashes, and experience playing with dogs, as well as cleaning up after them. I will bring doggy-bags to clean up poo in the yard, and lots of paper towels for any messes inside (especially with puppies). I also love to try to train to sit, lay, stay, etc. While I am not certified to train, it is a hobby of mine that I would love to work on! So I could easily bring trainer treats if allowed.
Information Tess M. would like to know about your pet
Any ongoing injuries, allergies, or special treatment is very important. This includes medicine. It is also very important that I know if there are certain things your dog does not like, such as being pet on the head, getting brushed, or touching its food to ensure everyone’s safety.
A typical day
Some of my favorite games to play with dogs are tug of war, fetch, and running! I also love to train using trainer treats, and cuddle with them of course.

Availability
I currently am a senior in high school who plays softball in the spring. I work part-time at 2 kennels, however most of that work is during the week. During the softball season, my weekends become free, allowing me to care for others animals!
