Experienced dog owner
Pet care experience
I am a 23 year old professional figure skater looking to assist in your doggie needs! I have been surrounded by dogs since I was a child and am looking forward to welcoming more four legged friends into my day! I have personal experience caring for dogs, both big and small, such as: two large Labradoodles and a small Havenese at my family home. I also have a 1 year old cat named Felix! I love going for walks at the beach, the forest, the dog park, and around the neighborhoods. I have lived in Victoria my whole life and love exploring new spots with new and old doggie pals! I have been dog walking for 5 years in between all my professional skating contracts. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d be happy to answer!
Reviews
I recently had Tessa look after my dog Rusty, and my home, while I went away. She is mature, responsible and very caring. As a rescue, Rusty is not the most friendly to strangers and has big anxiety issues and she handled that with understanding and compassion. I will be securing Tessa again next month and would highly recommend her as a sitter for your dog. I have already referred her to my neighbours!
As a dog-walker, our experience with Tessa has been extremely positive. She has been very pleasant and reliable, enthusiastic even on rainy days! Stella, our Cavalier spaniel is delighted to see Tessa, wagging her tail vigourously when she comes to take her for a walk. Tessa grew up with large dogs, and now has her own Havanese. I would highly recommend Tessa!

My dogs have a large backyard to run around in as well as the beach close by within a couple minute walk! My animals are definitely part of the family rather than just pets!
Information Tessa J. would like to know about your pet
I love all animals! Happy to assist owners with cats as well! I really enjoy going outside for walks for the dogs of course but also because walking and hiking is my favourite form of exercise!
A typical day
My two dogs and I love going for walks around our neighbourhood. We live right beside Cadboro bay beach where we love to go and run and play with balls. I also live in a house with a huge backyard! totally fenced and lots of trees to run in and around!
