Experienced shelter volunteer!
Pet care experience
I have spent my entire life living with pets, including dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I own horses and have tons of animal experience, including with more challenging cases at rescues and shelters. I currently work at the Denver zoo as an educator. Last winter I worked at a ranch taking care of horses, goats, chickens, and rabbits. I have a Masters of Science degree in Animals and Public Policy, and am very invested in good welfare for all animals! Socialization and activity is extremely important to keeping our pets happy and healthy, and I am here to help you keep your animals thriving.
Reviews
Tessa was absolutely great! Gave me plenty of updates and pictures! Thanks again!
Tessa did an amazing job taking care of Charles and Cheeto!! She went above and beyond and the cats were so comfortable with her even though they had just met! Thank you Tessa!

Tessa was amazing! Stella was fit and happy when I got home;)!
About Tessa A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to work with all types of pets, and am comfortable and attentive working in all settings, indoor or out. I love going for walks or hikes, and don't mind taking lots of sniffing breaks!
Information Tessa A. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know about your training and leadership style for your dog before I take them out. All dogs communicate with their owners differently, so it is important to me to talk to them in a way they understand.
A typical day
Walking with Rover is such a fun way to meet lots of gorgeous animals and enjoy a nice day exploring the neighborhood! I also love quiet cuddle time with any pet, cat or dog. Each pet is a great new friend and I love getting to know them. :)
