Dog lover with formal experience!

Pet care experience

I have owned and loved dogs my entire life, which led me to working at a doggy daycare for 4 years. With my formal training and experience as a dog handler in a boarding and daycare setting, I will be able to give your dog the best stay they could think of! We all know that our pets are like our children, and I take that very seriously. I pride myself in providing my own dog with a safe, loving, and fun home, and I'd love to do the same for your furry friend. I work during the day, but am home by 3 pm to give your pet some play time in our dog park. I work at a school, so I am generally available week nights, weekends, and holidays. For specific availability please contact me. I welcome cuddly dogs, active dogs, or dogs with special needs, you name it. My fiance will also be home moderately during the day, so your pet won't be alone! With your instruction, I have no doubt I can give you and your pet a stay you won't be disappointed in. If you have any questions, I'd love to talk with you!

Tess and her husband Chase are fan-flipping-tastic! They took our dear Golden child on

We received regular photos and updates on our little Pomeranians, Amelie and Boomer and they were brought home and waiting for us when we returned from our vacation. They received plenty of walks, playtime, and comfort. Both of them seemed very happy and healthy, and we will be contacting Tess and Chase again next time we go out-of-town to watch out little ones.

Tess is amazing! My new puppy is so excited to see her when she comes to take him for a walk. She also gave me some tips to help train him which is great because we are new at owning a puppy. She is a huge help to us and I recommend her to anyone!

We picked up the dogs and they were happy and tired! Exactly as we like them! Tess was great and sent tons of pictures and updates (she asked if that was ok, we obviously said yes). Would definitely use her again for Elaine and Ira.

Information Tess R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but I do have a dog of my own, so a friendly dog is a must. Please also provide me with feeding schedule, personality tendencies, bathroom schedule, and anything else that could help your dog and I have the greatest time together!

A typical day

I LOVE hiking with dogs, so if your dog is one that loves the outdoors like me, we will get along great! I also have a really comfy couch for naps afterward. I also would love to take your pet on car rides, to dog parks, to play fetch, and for more fun!
