I'll hike with your dogs!

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs, took care of my neighbor's dogs as a job in high school, and have helped my mother with a dog overnight business all through my childhood. I'm an active person that loves to go for walks and hikes outside but it is so much more fun to do it with a dog! I am an art teacher and now incoming graduate student at BU So my availability is largely in the evenings or weekends for full time care. I hope we can work together to make this summer great for your dog and your schedule.

Tessa is fantastic! Responsive, communicates frequently and my dog adores her. She takes long walks with my pup and has been very clean staying at our home. She has my highest recommendation.

Tessa was terrific with our two golden retrievers. She came over to meet them in advance and had the routine down in 5 minutes! She is smart, friendly, engaging and the dogs seemed to love her right off the bat. They have a lot of energy and she was happy to play with them until they got tired out. She sent me updates while she was there with them. I would definitely hire her again.

Tessa was AWESOME. I contacted her at 11am and she came same day within a couple hours. She was super nice and could tell she really liked dogs! I will definitely be requesting her again- she was wonderful and respectful!

I would like to know any dietary needs, behavioral issues, if they runs away off leash, what training you have implemented, and what commands the dog responds best to.

A typical day

We would go on walks, fetch, I have a dog park near my home that I love to take dogs to but totally understand if that isn't in your comfort zone. I also love taking dogs to pet friendly trails or even just to hang out on the common to picnic for the afternoon.
