I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

Information Tessa B. would like to know about your pet

All pets have unique traits! To make sure I can make this visit as comfortable and stress free for both you and your fur baby, be sure to let me know if they have any particular anxieties (especially storm or fire work-related given the season) and how you typically handle them.

A typical day

A typical day really depends on the dog and their needs. For high energy pups, there are lots of parks nearby and plenty of neighborhood space to walk around. I enjoy playing with toys with the pets I care for and giving them the pets and cuddles they'd get if they were at home with you!

Making pups happy makes me happy

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of.

Tessa was a fantastic sitter. She treated the house with respect, provided helpful updates, and asked great questions regarding our dog's care. Thank you, Lucy is looking forward to the next stay!

Tessa was wonderful! She took great care of Remy while I was away and was always very attentive to his needs. She carefully followed all of my instructions, including giving his medication with a Pill Pocket, and was very responsive whenever I had questions or requests. My flight was unexpectedly delayed on my way home, and she was kind enough to accept a last-minute morning visit so Remy could receive his medication on time. I really appreciated her flexibility, reliability, and great communication. I would absolutely book with her again!

Tessa did an awesome job of keeping us informed while we were away during our trip and sending us lots if photos. Our pets seemed happy and loved on. House was in order when we returned and she went above and beyond doing somethings we didn't expect her to take care of such as taking out trash and scooping litter since it was a short trip.
