Licensed dogsitter

First and foremost, I’m an animal lover and always have been! I am fully licensed and insured, and have lots of experience dog sitting. I began by caring for three dogs (two standard poodles and a cockapoo) at age 16-17. I lived at the owner’s house for up to two weeks at a time across a period of two years. I now have experience caring for lots of different breeds, temperaments and ages (ranging from chihuahuas to German Shepards!) I also owned a miniature schnauzer for 14 years, which included doing all his training, walks, feeding, grooming etc. I absolutely love cuddling and spending time in the company dogs, but am equally comfortable taking them on long walks and going on adventures! I really miss having the companionship that a dog offers, so would love to have a four-legged friend in the house again. I sponsor a dog at the Dogs Trust, and have previously volunteered at my local centre, Evesham.

Our dog had an amazing experience staying with Tessa. Tessa was reassuring and incredible with our 9 month old puppy. She sent lots of regular photo updates of all the lovely things they did which made it much easier leaving her. Would definitely recommend.

Tess was great. We used her for the first time for 4 nights for our Cocker Spaniel. Had lots of photos and he had an awesome time. Would 10/10 recommend!

Tess was brilliant! The dogs looked relaxed in the photo she sent, so we could relax too! They had a lovely time and we will be asking Tess to have them again... Highly recommended.

We did a one night practice to see how Willow and Tess got on before my holiday, I had three photos which helped leaving my baby, Willow obviously felt happy at her house with a photo of him asleep in his bed and when I picked him up following Tess around the house very happy. I would recommend Tess.

Tess is amazing! Our dog Saffie is a little anxious but Tess made time for a meeting before our booking so they could make friends. Saffie spent a chilled day hanging out with Tess and was so happy and relaxed we have booked a sleepover next. We would not hesitate to recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced medium-sized garden, and there are fields just a 3-minute walk from my home. Dogs will very rarely be left alone in the house.

A typical day

We have fields just 3 minutes from our home, so I will take the dog for lovely walks along the river. We also have an enclosed garden, so I’m very happy to throw a ball and play with the dog! In the evenings, I’m equally as happy to cuddle up on the sofa and relax ☺️

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements. I previously dog sat for a cavapoo with severe separation anxiety, and have administered oral medication to an elderly dog with mobility issues. My previous dog, Alfie, also liked to be top dog, and could be a little grumpy around other enthusiastic dogs. It would be great to know if your dog is good with other dogs, can be off-lead, and the amount of time they are happy to be left for. I really want them to be happy and to receive the best possible care while they’re with me.
