Highlights
Pet care experience
Our pets are family.
I grew up with many animals and have always loved caring for them and spending time with them. We have been caring for dogs and cats through Rover for many years and strive to offer top-notch pet sitting in a calm, loving home environment. We live a healthy lifestyle and provide high-quality treats, plenty of affection, and lots of one-on-one attention. Our home is relaxed and comfortable, which helps make the transition from your home to ours as smooth and stress-free as possible. We usually care for only one dog at a time, with two being our maximum. This allows us to treat your dog like part of the family while giving them plenty of space to rest, play, and settle in at their own pace.

Ratings and reviews
Great experience on all fronts, as always.
Our puppy, Lilly, was very happy staying with Tess for a few nights. She was well looked after and Tess was amazing sending lots of photos, videos and updates during her stay. We would definitely book again!
We know our pup had a great time and made new friends! Tess was very communicative and shared plenty of updates.
Another amazing stay for our dog with Tess! Our anxious dog has become completely comfortable going to her house and staying there. My mind is always at ease when Gus is there! He gets loved just like he’s at home!
My two sweet puppies mean the world to me. And I have never felt more comfortable leaving them than I did when I left them with Tess. She updated me daily with their activities & lots of photos. She had the magic touch when it came to feeding my fussy tiny princess. And she gave them SO much love. I’m so grateful to have found Tess as my sitter!!
Tess took amazing care of my dog Spruce. I was sent daily pictures and updates. Spruce got to go to the dog park and had 2 temporary dog siblings for his stay. As a dog that does not do well in with vet boarding, I knew I had to have the perfect sitter for Spruce and his needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit!

Schedule
I work from home Monday through Friday from the living room, so I’m always nearby to keep an eye on the dogs and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. We start our mornings around 6 AM with a walk, followed by breakfast and nap time. Throughout the day, dogs are let out into the yard often for potty breaks, fresh air, and outdoor time. In the evenings, we like to relax together with some playtime, usually fetch or tug, before everyone settles in for the night.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is relaxed, quiet, and calm. We are usually home throughout the day, aside from the occasional trip to the store or gym, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. Our belief is that a fulfilled dog is a good dog. We understand that every dog is unique and may need different forms of stimulation, affection, structure, and rest. We love getting to know each dog’s personality and finding what helps them feel happiest, safest, and most comfortable while they’re with us. We have two female dogs, Maya and Mabel. Both of our pups are crate trained, well socialized, and love meeting new friends. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we use gates when needed and always separate Maya and Mabel from other dogs during feeding time.

For pets who may benefit from extra relaxation and energetic support, I am also a certified Reiki practitioner and can offer Reiki energy healing sessions for an additional fee.
