We have a dog park/potty area inside our apartment building and I can easily crate your dog if that is something you would like when I’m gone.

Will care for your dogs with love

Pet care experience

Hello everybody! I am a huge dog lover just looking to spend some time with dogs and give them all the exercise and love that they need. I have a pretty flexible schedule this year and can take the dog on long walks and I am also very active and outside a lot. I will make sure to take extra good care of your dogs as I know just how important they are to you and I will be sure they get the best love and playtime!! I have 4 years of experience of watching dogs and house sitting. I have watched dogs as small as chihuahuas to dogs as big as Great Danes. I am flexible, honest and attentive. Can’t wait to hear from all of y’all!

I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with Tessa! She treated my dogs like her own. Will definitely be using her again!

Tessa was awesome. Kind, patient, accommodating. She gave great updates. Bear, our dog, was so happy with her. He was with her for 3 nights. We’ll definitely reach out to Tessa again. Thanks Tessa!
