Treats with Tess
I am writer and professional dogwalker/sitter. I love all things dogs, cuddling (with dogs), running (with dogs), reading (with dogs--if they want), watching movies (with, you guessed -- dogs). Generally just am the happiest when hanging out with a gaggle of pups. Even all the magnets on my fridge are some variation of a dog. I've always been the first person on the call list as the dogsitter for my friends and family, for some I'm even the designated god-mother and walked one friend's dog down the aisle at her wedding!I have worked for professional agencies as well. Additionally, I foster pets when I can. Saving and helping endangered and needy pets is one of my true passions and each dogs i've watched or fostered holds a place in my heart--my clients can attest to that. I've grown up with dogs and have for provided dog care for over 16 years. While staying with me your dog will receive three walks a day and lots of pampering. I have a basket full of toys, from squeakers, balls, stuffed animals, to different styles of bones. I am very flexible to your schedule!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Really excellent a really good dog sitter. Je ne pourrai pas rêver mieux pour mon séjour à Paris !!
Au top! Tessa est ultra bienveillante & ponctuelle.
Tessa stayed with my 6.5 year old lab-cattle dog mix at my house for 3 nights and was both an excellent sitter and communicator about my watching my pup, but also very respectful with my home while I was away. She took generous time in our initial meetup, provided regular updates with photos while I was away, and communicated proactively throughout. I'd recommend Tessa to anyone looking for an in-home pet sitter. A+
Tessa was great with our dog for a weekend dogsit at our house, would highly recommend!
Tessa communicates really well, is very punctual, and made my first sitting experience with Rover very relaxed and trusted.
Tessa took great care of my furry beasts! Comforting to know they were in good hands when I was out of town. She kept me updated and sent lots of photos of their derpy behavior which I enjoyed thoroughly

Schedule
I work mostly from home with occasional gigs that are generally less than half a day. Dogsitting is very amenable to my schedule and the dogs will never be left alone for more than a few hours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious 1 bedroom with lots of sun and a courtyard that is fully fenced in. My neighbors are all dog lovers and it's a dog-friendly building primarily with small dogs but I am able to house bigger dogs.
Pets
A typical day
I have lots of toys for all the dogs to play with. Tug of war is one of my dog's favorite games and he loves to play fetch with other dogs. I am able and happy to bring dogs to the dog park if the owner allows and I live right near Griffith park so I can bring the dogs on nice hikes if they are able!
