Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are family <3
I love animals (probably more than people lol)! I have worked at an animal hospital for two years. Interacted with pets of all shapes and sizes! I grew up with dogs and started pet sitting as a preteen-friends, family, neighbors. I’ve fostered and babysat cats and dogs for long and short stays, including puppies and older cats. I can administer medication. I rescued my dog as a puppy and I have a big interest in dog psychology. I continue to train and work with my dog everyday, as it brings me a lot of joy. I even started a dog training business with my sister and our own podcast (we’re in the early stages!), as we share a love for our four-legged companions! We help coach other owners and touch on topics like dog behavior, holistic health, diet, the vet, dog myths, different training styles, and everything in between! Being around animals makes me so happy! I cherish the time I spend with my dog as he is my favorite companion and I would love the opportunity to get to spend time with your beloved companion(s). :)

Ratings and reviews
Tessa did a great job pet sitting our dogs at our home. She was communicative and provided photos. I would definitely trust her pet sitting for us again.
Excellent communication and provided me with ease as she watched my dog! Would book with her again!
Tessa was wonderful during her stay of four nights with our little morkie Coco they bonded she took her for walks everyday and played with her. She also has dog training experience and worked on some training with her as well. We felt that she communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us pictures and videos to relax our minds that Coco was in good hands! We would recommend Tessa to anyone and will definitely be calling on her for future trips!
Tessa was wonderful! She was super patient and sweet with our dogs and very communicative. We will definitely rebook 💯!
Tessa was absolutely amazing with our pups while we were away on a family vacation. She is incredibly detail oriented and communicative, which gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated, played with the dogs, and handled a few little accidents without any issue. She truly went above and beyond and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it. We’re so grateful we found her and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you so much, Tessa <3 !!!
Tessa is my go-to for dog sitting. She is responsible, responsive and the boys love her!!!!

Schedule
I work part time so I have time to care for your pet during the day and the days I work I’m not gone for too long!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and one dog to keep your pet company, if desired. He his crate trained and I can crate your pet if needed as well! I give my dog lots of potty breaks and exercise and play time as well as nap time and training time-keep his mind and body fulfilled and meet his needs:) I plan to do the same with your pet, obviously with their specific needs in mind!
Pets
A typical day
I am very big into mental and physical stimulation and meeting each individual’s pets needs, so that they are happy and fulfilled living in our world! So that may look like mental food puzzles, find it games, running in the backyard and playing with various toys and going on walks in the neighborhood and hitting up the neighborhood park to explore and find new smells!
