I'm self-employed and work part-time in several different roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule.

Treating pets like Family
Pet care experience
I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. Growing up around a farm taught me that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and way of communicating. To me, pets are family, and I care for them with the same love, patience, and respect that I would my own. I'm attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's routine and personality. I have a strong intuition when it comes to animal behavior and always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Whether that means keeping up with exercise, medications, special diets, playtime, or simply providing a calm, reassuring presence, I'm committed to giving every pet the highest level of care. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is in caring, capable hands.

Reviews
Tess cares more about the wellbeing of animals than most people. Unquestionably would take a bullet for her pets. I trust her with my pets more than anyone else
I can't recommend Tess highly enough! She has been, without a doubt, the best cat sitter we've ever had for our sweet kitty, Whiskers. From the very beginning, Tess took the time to learn Whiskers' unique personality, routines, and little quirks. She knows exactly when Whiskers wants attention, when she'd rather have her space, and even what things might scare or stress her out. It's so comforting to know she's with someone who truly understands and respects her. Tess always made sure Whiskers was well-fed, had fresh water, and received so much love and affection while we were away. She treated her like she was her own pet, and that kind of care is priceless. Every time we came home, Whiskers was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Beyond being incredibly dependable and attentive, Tess is kind, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals. I never had to worry for a second knowing Whiskers was in her care. Any pet parent would be incredibly lucky to have Tess looking after their furry family member. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets as if they were her own!
I can't recommend Tess highly enough! She took exceptional care of my five large dogs while I was away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. Managing five big dogs is no small task, especially when they each have medications and a structured daily schedule. Test was incredibly organized, making sure every medication was given correctly and on time while keeping everyone on their regular routine. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely cared about their well being. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear they had received plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate to care for your pets, I wholeheartedly recommend Tess.
Oh my gosh !!!!!!!!!! Where do I even start????? She is responsible, super loving towards ALL animals and TRULY cares !!!!!!!!! . She has taken care of my pets and house many times while we went away and I worried NOT!!!!! I have heard numerous rescue stories from her where she has found dogs roaming or animals in unsafe situations and she rescued them and they ended up in a safe space or back with their owners after hours of work trying to find their homes! She has had some amazing dogs and showed them an amazing life (parks daily, backpacking, snuggle and watch movies, kayaking, etc.) She will always want pets safe and loved to the end of her days!!!! Just her true nature! p.s. She can't even kill bugs! LOL! She'd rather set them free.
