Vet Student = experience and care!!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a student in UIUC College of Veterinary Medicine! As a veterinary student (and having worked at a veterinary clinic for 4.5 years), I am very comfortable giving medication and completing any treatments/restrictions/monitoring/etc your pet may require due to medical reasons. I am trained in CPR for dogs and cats. I also have been doing Rover for 4 years! I love all companion critters -- dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, fish -- you name it! I am always happy to sit on the couch as your pet naps next to me or spend our time playing and going on walks -- whatever you and your pet want :)

Tess is a vet med student and is a perfect pet sitter! She took care of my sweet, but extremely energetic 3 month of kittens while I was away for a family visit. She is so loving towards pets and she sent me the best pictures! I will be contacting her again when I'm out of town!

Tess did an amazing job house sitting with three dogs. I would very much recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I always start off with following the directions you give me --ie. feeding, walking, etc. However, my favorite part of a walk or home visit is getting to hang out with the pets! I let the pet decide if this involves playing, belly rubs, or just sitting quietly next to each other.

Information Tess S. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with any breed, size, or age of animal. I would love to know about their typical schedule, temperament, etc. so that we can both be comfortable.

A typical day

I am willing to bring dogs on walks around your neighborhood wherever they're comfortable. I also love to play with any of their favorite toys, or sit and cuddle/nap if that's what they like to do. Please let me know what their favorite activities are!
