Pet care experience

I have been walking and caring for dogs my whole life and I love doing it! I have taken care of many different sized and different breed dogs and have never had any difficulties. I am very reliable and can be flexible to your schedule and the needs of your dog. I work from home, so can ensure that I meet your dog walking needs. I have dog handling and dog training skills and would be happy to exercise these with your dog. I will happily work with you to tailor the walks and exercise to both yours and your dogs comfort level. If you have any questions, get it touch and I would be happy to answer and provide references!

We couldn’t be happier with the care Tessa provided for our dog. At the meet and greet, we saw that showed she really knows how to handle dogs, and since then, she's communicated promptly and thoroughly. It’s such a relief knowing that we have someone so competent who lives so nearby. My hope is that Tessa continues to be available! I couldn’t recommend her more.

Tessa has been walking my large lab/hound dog every day for a month. She is very responsive, communicates well, always is on time and has a positive attitude. I would highly recommendation Tessa for dog walking. She is great for high energy walking and care.

Ensuring that your pup has physical and mental stimulation is incredibly important to me. Pending on your dog’s needs, we can go for walks in the neighborhood or play in my enclosed backyard.
