Caring Pet Sitter You Can Trust

Hi, I'm Tessa. I am a dedicated and caring pet sitter with a lifetime of experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to small pets. I started taking care of my own pets, as well as friends, and neighbors when I was around 10 years old. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I’m committed to providing your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medication, you can trust me to treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm responsible, reliable, and always ensure a safe and happy environment for your furry friends. Looking forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the best care possible!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When pet sitting in my client's home, I prioritize maintaining the pet's routine as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I start by discussing the pet’s specific needs with the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special care instructions. I am happy to fulfill any accommodations your pet may need.

Tessa took great care of my dog Frida, and sent me pictures of Frida from time to time; and the house was beautifully clean and all things tidy when I returned.

This was my first experience using Rover to find a sitter and so glad to find such a great fit. Tessa was wonderful and so helpful with my shy and spicy mini Aussie. She gave her the time she needed to warm up and was eventually sending me pictures of them cuddling!! Such a relief while being 1,000 miles away- and knowing your dog is being well loved. I left the state super concerned the trip may be cut short and was quickly put to ease by Tessa’s level of care and thoughtful updates. Thanks so much Tessa!

Tessa stands out from others, starting with her prompt communication and follow-thru. She is calm with my dogs and they look forward to seeing her weekly!
