Availability
Pet care is an integrated and consistent part of my daily routine. I make sure Bear has fresh water available at all times, and I take time each day for regular feeding, bathroom breaks, and short walks or playtime. I check in with him frequently to make sure he’s comfortable, especially in new environments. I also prioritize his emotional needs—he gets plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance, particularly during stressful situations like loud noises or changes in routine. On a weekly basis, I clean his bedding, check his supplies, and make sure he’s staying active and healthy. He’s very much part of the family, so his care naturally fits into the flow of our day.

Safety, trust & environment
I tailor pet care based on each pet’s unique needs and the comfort of the home environment—whether it’s mine or a client’s. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and clean space where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any medications. I also provide plenty of affection, playtime, and supervision throughout the day to make sure they feel secure and loved. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain consistency in the pet’s routine to minimize stress. I stick closely to the instructions provided, whether that includes feeding, administering medication, exercise, or simply giving them companionship. I also make sure to update the client regularly with photos or messages for peace of mind. Regardless of the setting, my priority is always the pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness.

Information Tess S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know as much as possible about a pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. Some key things I like to know ahead of time include: • Feeding schedule and dietary preferences or restrictions • Bathroom habits and any signals they give when they need to go out • Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications • How they interact with other pets, children, or strangers • Their energy level and favorite activities • Any fears or stress triggers (like fireworks, loud noises, or separation) • Commands they know and respond to • Preferred sleeping arrangements and comfort items The more I know in advance, the more I can make their time with me feel safe, familiar, and happy.
A typical day
I love making sure the pets I watch have fun and feel loved while their families are away! Depending on their personality and energy level, I’ll tailor activities to what they enjoy most—whether that’s playing fetch, going on walks, doing simple training games, or just spending time snuggling and giving them lots of attention. For more curious or playful pets, I’ll use toys, puzzles, or scent games to keep them engaged. For more relaxed pets, I’ll create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of cuddles and companionship. My goal is always to help them feel happy, safe, and entertained—like they’re part of the family even while their humans are gone.

Reviews
Yess is the best. Shes so sweet and loving with our pup and always keeps us updated with pics and videos.
She was great! My dogs were loved and happy while I was out of town! Will definitely use Tess again for my pups.
so sweet and took amazing care of our dog! would highly recommend!
Tess was awesome and I had such a great experience with her and her family watching my dog, Chi Chi. She was super friendly, communicative, and kept in contact with me the entire time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She sent me tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, and I loved being able to see Chi Chi having fun and playing at the dog park with other dogs. It was honestly really comforting and cute to see her so happy and comfortable. You can truly tell Tess cares about the pets she watches and makes sure they feel safe and loved while they’re with her. I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands the whole time. I would absolutely recommend booking with Tess, and I’d be happy to use her services again in the future!
