Dog sitter with real experience!

Pet care experience

Ever since I can remember, dogs have been an incredibly important and happy part of my life! Growing up I’ve always had at least 3 dogs in my home who I loved more than anything. When I left for college, I couldn’t imagine what it’d be like every day without my pups. So I became a volunteer at the Puppy Kindergarten at my school, where I helped raise puppies to become service dogs through Canine Companions. In doing so, we were able to better understand the cognitive abilities of dogs and what the best strategies are to raise them! I even got to raise a puppy all on my own one year who is now a working service dog! Between this experience and my love for dogs, I think I’m an incredibly reliable and trustworthy sitter for you!

Tessa is fantastic! She was a huge help in getting my lil one taken care of on a Saturday that had me in a scheduling bind with work. She was quick to respond and very through when it came to the details of taking care of Neno! Thank you so much!

Tessa is the best! She has an amazing heart for animals. She is well experienced in pet care and treats each of my dogs with love and affection every time she sees them.

Tessa is a very responsible, caring and kind caretaker. She is respectful to not only me, but also my dog. Can’t wait for her to take care of Nugget again!

Tessa and I lived together and I got to watch her care for 2 puppies. Both times I watched her excel as a caregiver. She is naturally selfless and always put the dogs first. She was incredibly kind to the dogs while also knowing boundaries. I couldn’t recommend her more!

At home, I am always the one to let my dogs out, give them food and water, and play with them outside. I am a professional belly rub giver and am always down for a puppy cuddle! Treats and toys are a great reward after a good walk and potty time. I am flexible in how I provide care though, so please let me know what works best for your dog!

Please let me know any special instructions I should follow to watch your dog: feeding schedule, frequency of walks, favorite toys, anything off limits, does he/she get along with other dogs?

A typical day

I love to walk and play with dogs! Fetch is one of my personal favorites, but I’m also really good at tug of war or just cuddling on the couch!
