Tessa was did an awesome job caring for my less than perfectly behaved cat. She was very communicative and understanding and can tell she’s well experienced with cats and animals in general. She sent adorable pictures of him everyday and kept me well updated. Thank you Tessa!

My animals clearly loved Tessa and they felt safe & took to her immediately. 😊My rescues don’t normally accept strangers. They only come out when they know you and/or know that they are safe. She has an innate love for animals and it is clearly seen and felt. To be able to go on my first solo trip in over a decade was more than I imagined. I had NO concerns or guilt and the shared photos plus my home cameras reiterated that she loved my pets as much as I do when I’m home. ❤️She is an absolute keeper and I extended my trip, as a result, and I’ll certainly be using her again! 🐾🐶🐱🐈‍⬛

As a renter at The Osprey @ Lake Norman, Mooresville, I was so relieved to find Tessa on Rover. While recovering from a broken ankle, she handled my dog's daily walks (morning and night) with total professionalism. My dog is reactive and slow to trust, but her calm energy made my dog feel at ease immediately. For anyone living at The Osprey or in the Mooresville area needing a reliable dog walker, she is fantastic!

I had a great experience with Tessa. She was reliable, caring, and treated my dog like her own. We had just moved, and she provided me with regular updates and helpful feedback. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾⭐
