Pet care experience

Your dog’s new best friend!

I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around dogs my whole life! Growing up, my family had three dogs and we also regularly fostered, so I’ve been around all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and routines from a young age. Now, I pet sit frequently! I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! Whether it’s long walks, throwing a ball, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I always want pets to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine! I’m also very reliable and communicative, and I understand how important it is to fully trust the person caring for your pet.

I would trust Tess with any pet without hesitation. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and treats every animal as if it were her own. She always keeps you updated with plenty of photos and thoughtful communication, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be in loving, reliable hands with Tess!
