In the morning we go to the bathroom and immediately go on our first walk. Then we come home and they take a little breather before moving into training or fun puzzle toys.

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting since I was around 12 years old. I have cared for elderly pets, pets requiring medication, picky eaters, high-energy, fearful and aggressive, etc. I provided foster care for a shelter for one year and housed around 6 dogs while they waited for their furever home. I understand the importance in quality of care for your pets and given the opportunity, I hope to treat them exactly as you would while you’re away.

Tess was so great with George! She eased my anxiety and made him super comfortable from the beginning. Will be booking again for future trips!

Tess was wonderful! She day sat our tiny 2lb mini dachshund puppy Chili. She took great care of our baby and I know it was a lot of work. Our puppy needs to be watched so closely and wants to be held while she naps. Tess sent us pictures, always responded quickly, and was very flexible with our changing schedule. We are happy to have found her and look forward to using her again soon!
