Tessa can care for
Availability
My second job (petsitting is my first) is something I can do remotely on my laptop, so with the exclusion of grocery shopping or an appointment I’m free to stay with your pets. Clients often hire me to help with dogs that struggle with separation anxiety or a need to use the bathroom frequently, as I don’t have to leave the house for long periods of time. Because my other work is remote and freelance, my schedule is adaptable to fit the needs of your pets. Whether they’ll want to be up at dawn to go potty or they like to sleep in until noon, I can accommodate pretty much any routine. I am able to provide potty breaks and playtime as often as needed due to my flexible schedule, as well as accommodate pets that may need medications or food at certain times due to health conditions.

Safety, trust & environment
I utilize an awareness of my surroundings and an attention to detail to make sure your pets are safe and secure in your home or yard. I am always careful when entering or exiting property and homes to make sure I never have an escapee situation. I am familiar with the use of a variety of collar and harness types and I have walked dogs from tiny Chihuahuas to Mastiffs over 200 pounds. I do my utmost to make sure my clients never have cause to worry when their pets are in my care. I encourage all pet parents to give me written instructions to make sure I have all important information if there’s ever a time during the trip that they can’t be reached immediately.
Information Tessa E. would like to know about your pet
Besides their daily routine, It's always great to know about a pet's quirks. Every pet is unique, and it helps me provide the best possible care when I know as much about them as possible. What commands do they know? What's their favorite toy? Is there any spots where they love/hate to be petted? How do they walk on a leash? Anything you can tell me about them helps me care for them better.
A typical day
I'm happy to play any games your dog likes. I let them guide me as to what they find fun and enjoyable. I love taking dogs for walks in nature settings, but even if you live in a high-rise or urban neighborhood, that's totally okay too.

Calm energy for anxious pets
Pet care experience
I’ve been working with animals for about 17 years, ever since I was 15 and got my first job in a vet hospital’s kennel. Since then I’ve worked in kennels, a dog daycare and a grooming salon, as well as caring for many pets in a home setting, both mine and those of my clients. I’ve also run a dog daycare out of my home when space and my then landlord permitted. Because petsitting is my main job (I also work from home on my laptop) I’m able to stay with your pets most of the time, and my schedule is ideal for pets that struggle with anxiety or destructiveness or otherwise cannot be left home alone for long periods of time.

Tessa was great and friendly and took care of our pups like they were hers.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tessa. She is exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting. Tessa is top rate at communication and extremely thorough on knowledge needed to take care of your pet as well as stay in your home. She is just one of the best! Thank you Tessa!
Tessa took great care of our senior dog Roxie and our home. Having Tessa there to make sure Roxie was loved made our vacation so much more relaxing and fun!
Tessa was amazing! Sent us pictures of our dogs while we were gone and communicated with us the entire time! I would recommend her to anyone!
