We live a healthy and organic lifestyle, are chemical and fragrance free, and feed high quality treats. Our townhome is calm and comfortable which allows a smooth transition from your home to ours.
Reviews
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!
The best Rover stay Bailey has had! Tess and John took such great care of Bailey and sent us videos and pictures daily. When we picked up Bailey she didn't want to go home! Thank you Tess and John for taking in Bailey and making her feel like one of your own! Will for sure be using Tess and John again for future stays.

Safety, trust & environment
Our belief is that a fulfilled dog is a good dog. We understand that every dog is unique and requires or wants different stimulation, so it’s important for us as well as them, to find what each dog likes best. We incorporate daily trips to the dog park, multiple walks, weekend hikes, and various mental stimulation games and experiences. In between all the fun and exciting adventures, we also allow plenty of down time to rest, relax, and unwind. We have two female dogs, Maya and Mabel, and one cat, SteveO. Both of our pups are crate trained, well socialized, and love meeting new friends. SteveO is friendly and keeps to himself, not minding the new dogs around. We always set up gates and separate Maya and Mabel from other dogs during their feeding time. Our home is very relaxed. Quiet and calm. We are usually home most of the time except for the occasional trip to the store or the gym. If you are interested in Reiki energy healing sessions for your pet, I am certified Reiki practitioner and can offer that for an additional price.

Where do they sleep at night? What their energy level is. What triggers they have. Any aggressive tendencies. If they are good with other dogs / humans. How they like to play.

We go to the dog park around 9AM for an hour. Play time around lunch. And a walk or another trip to the dog park in the afternoon. In the evenings when we are relaxing we play fetch and tug.

Availability
I work from home. During the weekdays the schedule for the dogs is a potty break in the morning followed by a couple hours resting and relaxing before we go to the park. We go to the dog park every morning around 9am for an hour. Potty break and lunchtime outside around noon. In the afternoons we go for a nice walk. Weekends we usually hike and go to the dog park as well.
