Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important routine and comfort are for pets, so I do my best to keep them relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make safety my top priority during every visit. I also send regular text and photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for!

Information Tessa H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, triggers, medical needs, dietary restrictions, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable and safe. I want to provide care that matches their needs and keeps their routine as stress-free as possible.

A typical day

I love keeping pets both physically active and mentally engaged. Depending on your pet’s personality and energy level, our day may include walks, playtime, enrichment games, cuddle time, and plenty of attention. I enjoy letting dogs explore new smells on walks and making sure they get exercise, stimulation, and lots of love while you’re away.

We have used Tessa previously and were so happy that she was available to drop in on our cat while we were away. She communicates well and sent us some great feedback about how our guy was doing, as well as pictures. We plan on using her again in the future!

Tessa dropped in to check on our dog and give him his dinner and let him out while we were at a wedding. She was attentive to details and instructions and our pup (and cat) were happy to have her visit. We already have her scheduled for a few other visits and are so happy to have found a reliable sitter for our guys!
