Loving Pet Care Provider

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a part-time preschool teacher and grad student looking to provide pet care services as often as my schedule allows! My availability differs per day so please reach out to see if I have an opening. Because of my calm, warm, and loving demeanor I am an excellent caregiver for your furry friend. I have been taking care of both dogs and cats for many years now, including drop by visits, dog walking, and overnight care either in my home or in the client’s home. I have been active on Rover for a few years, but have been working with pets for at least 10 years. I have taken care of dogs from a very wide array of breeds, sizes, and ages all with their varying needs and demeanors. I have also cared for cats and kittens of all ranges. I was a foster mommy for two different litters of kittens when I was in college. I took around the clock care for them starting at just 3 weeks old until they were healthy and big enough to be adopted by other loving owners. I would be more than happy to take care of your furry companion when you can't yourself! Please reach out if you have any questions *Please note that my roommate has a 1 year old cat in our home. In the case of providing a service in my home, I will ONLY be accepting dogs/cats that are friendly towards cats for the safety of our animal and yours. Thank you for your understanding. -Experience with puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, dogs requiring medication, female dogs in heat, kittens, cats, animals with medical concerns/ special needs

Tessa was amazing with my pup! She was very understanding and accommodating to his needs. I got lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I’ll definitely rebook!

Tessa was amazing! She was so sweet with my puppy Louie, thorough with instructions and she sent me picture updates frequently. He seemed happy as could be in her care! Bonus points for leaving my house tidy! She overall just had a sweet warm personality I could trust. Will definitely be asking her to come back. :)

Tessa was great with my little GiGi. She is very friendly and caring. She arrived on time for the sit and kept in contact with me by sending updates and pictures of my fur baby. I was able to take my vacation knowing that all was well at home. I would definitely use Tessa again in the future and I highly recommend her.

I’m not sure what more you could ask for, when looking for someone to care for your pets. Tessa is thoughtful, honest, organized, with a great demeanor around animals. We recently moved to the area and my husky was anxious, but Tessa was great with him. Thank you!
