Pet care experience

Lover of all dogs, including yours!

I have two dogs at home and they are my everything! I have also watched countless friends and families dogs and have loved every second! I have experience volunteering at the local animal shelter, where I helped bath, walk and care for the animals there! I live a very active lifestyle and am passionate about being outside; I would love to have a dog pal to take on walks, hikes, runs or bike rides!! I’m personable, patient and enthusiastic, making me a great dog sitter! I have always had a special bond with animals and would love to use Rover to share this love and help someone in need of a dog sitter! My schedule is very flexible therefore my time will and can be devoted to making sure your dog(s) will feel right at home!

House Sitting • Sep 26, 2025

Tess and her husband took care of my 2 very low maintenance corgis for a week. That required letting them out in the fenced in yard and feeding them daily. They didn’t clean up dog poop after the dogs. There were payment questions that came up after the agreement had been signed. Their rate has now been massively increased. The dogs were happy when I got home. Tess vacuumed the house on their last day. I have no major complaints. Most days they left at 0400 or 0500 and came to let them out early afternoon and evening.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 20, 2025

Tess was absolutely wonderful!! She has two very sweet dogs and our dogs had a blast there. She sent us updates, which gave us reassurance that our doggies were well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her, She was a sweetheart!! Next time we are in town, and need a doggie sitter, we will be checking her availability. Tess is the Best!!
