Loving, patient, and energetic!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since I was 13! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me, and my own dog is a cockapoo :). I also have experience with more energetic breeds such as pit bulls and German Shepards. My own dog is highly energetic, reactive and has separation anxiety, so I've learned a ton of tricks to help with that and have expertise in dealing with dogs who have similar qualities! I believe every dog deserves affection, attention and affirmations (the three A's). I really enjoy the company of pets and love seeing them have fun and learn! I am sensitive to any of your particular wants or needs. I also have a car if you're interested in me taking your dog to a more fun area or doggie park! I hope you give me a chance to care for your pup. I can also do cats as I grew up with 3 of my own. Thank you!

Tess is great. She arrived on time and followed the list of suggestions I left. My dog was well taken care of and was happy so that makes me happy!

Tess is an outstanding pet sitter. I have 2 cats & a dog (not to mention fish) & she does a wonderful job taking care of my small zoo. All the animals love her & the personal attention she gives them. She's always punctual & very trustworthy when visiting. I highly recommend using her for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you Tess!

Hello, my name is Caroline Eldred and I highly recommend Tess as a pet sitter and pet lover. She looked after my 2 dogs for 2 years during the summer in Germany and not only she is reliable but also exceptionally gifted with animals... My 2 dogs were very depressed when Tess left to America. By choosing Tess, you are making the best decision for your animals.

I love teaching dogs' new tricks to keep them entertained and stimulated! I love going on walks and jogging so having a furry friend to come with me is a bonus. I know of multiple fun and safe paths to take your furry friend to, and even know of some hidden beach spots!
