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!

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!

Tessa was wonderful and Mazie loved her. She took her for walks everyday and sent us pictures daily. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tessa and plan to use her in the future.

When you meet Tessa, you will immediately notice how much she loves animals. She has this incredible passion and patience for all four-legged friends. Tessa has such a gentle, calming presence so dogs naturally feel safe and understood by her. She treats every dog as if it were her own, making sure they feel loved, happy, and cared for at all times. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, she puts her whole heart into it. Beyond how caring she is, she’s also incredibly responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. When your pet is with her, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they are in loving hands. Any dog owner would be lucky to have someone so compassionate and devoted caring for their furry family member.
