Highlights
Pet care experience
Wanna go for a walk?
I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds - dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, hamsters, ferrets, guinea pigs, horses - you name it! I'm so grateful that I've been able to make caring for pets a part of my daily life.

Tess also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I have a deep understanding of pet behavior thanks to my experiences as a pet parent, foster mom, doggie daycare alum, and shelter volunteer. You won't find anyone more tolerant of sharp claws, slobber, and hair balls. I have experience administering oral and topical medication, caring for senior pets, and accommodating for special needs like allergies, colitis, hip dysplasia, seizures, stitches/post-surgery care, hematomas, heat, mega-esophagus, heart conditions, belly bands, and so on. I’m comfortable with pets of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities.
Ratings and reviews
Tess was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time booking with her, and she made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure Lola was comfortable with her and to go over her specific care instructions. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She was great with Lola and also a pleasure to communicate and work with. I would definitely book with Tess again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter!
Tess is an amazing person! She’s so good with my dogs and super flexible could not thank her enough. My dogs love her and she gives them all the love as well, will definitely continue using her and recommend her to others as well :)
Highly recommend and will be booking Tess again! Professional, so sweet with my puppy, and saved me with a last minute request!
Always the best! My two cats love Tess,
Tess is the best and my cat loves her! Really helped us out last minute when my power went out while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone!
Took good care of my boy! Will definitely be using her again!

Schedule
I currently work as a freelance producer - so when I'm not on set, I'm out walking dogs and dropping in on your pets just about every day of the week! The freedom of being self employed also allows me to have maximum flexibility for last minute requests if you find yourself in a bind.

- Pets can be really sensitive to major changes in environment, and I know how stressful it can be to a pet when a stranger barges in on their turf. Whenever possible, I love having the chance to do a Meet & Greet session before we book, because I want your creature to trust me and get to know me alongside you. This eases their anxiety while you're gone, which helps to make our time together even better!
