Pet care experience

Loving, Reliable Pet Care

I bring patience, genuine love, and experience to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a lively puppy needing basic training and socialization or a senior pet requiring gentle care and medication, I adapt my approach to fit their unique needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, reinforcing commands like sit and stay, and providing extra cuddles or calm companionship when needed. What truly sets me apart is my dedication to communication—I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel connected and confident. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like part of my family.

Tess loves all pets and has cared for my dog as well as our neighbors' dogs and has done an awesome job. She is my first choice for a pet sitter. She is extremely reliable and responsible, and has done house sitting for me and my neighbors also. I am glad she will be offering her services to more people!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or cozy evenings with a furry friend, I structure my day to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—whether it’s just for a day or a whole week.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, and playtime instructions closely and give plenty of love, attention, and gentle care. I make sure your pet feels safe, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping things calm and quiet.

A typical day

I love to go on long walks with dogs! I enjoy playing with toys or throwing the ball for animals! I also love to relax on the couch or whatever your pet prefers!
