Hello. I am Tess. I adore dogs. I grew up idolizing my collie, Boru, who was 5 when I was born. The connection I had to him and all dogs was instant and lasting. In later years our family adopted a Yorkshire Terrior and two Rhodesian Ridgeback rescues- one who came from an abusive past and a puppy found in the streets. With my history, I have a range of experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and ages. I have experience ranging from raising and training young, energetic puppies to taking it easy with shy, older dogs in need of some tender love. I am a working professional that misses the bond I had in my childhood with dogs and am looking to create meaningful dog relationships through Rover. I promise to treat your dog as if he is my own. If you decide to choose me as your dog sitter I promise to provide the safest, most loving, and fun experience for your pup.
