Pet care experience

Vet Tech & 10+ yr pet sitting exp.

Hi ! My name is Tessa, and I run this business with my wife, Victoria! We are located in Orangeville,Ontario and our whole lives basically revolve around animals and their welfare. I’m a veterinary technician graduate. I’ve worked in several kennels, rescues, clinics, and other animal related areas! Victoria also has many years of experience with animals, and our dream is honestly to make ourselves available for every pet that needs it. Because as we all know, our animals are way too good for this world; so we might as well try our very best to be just as good back to them. We have a cat and 2 dogs at home, and they mean the absolute world to us. Please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email with any inquiries or requests, and thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Safety, trust & environment

I typically follow the instructions laid out by each client. If there is a fenced yard, I generally always accompany dogs outside regardless just incase anything were to happen. I also have a habit of double leashing dogs on walks just incase one collar were to fail. I will always follow instructions and take extra precautions to ensure pet and home safety while a client is away.

Leaving my 2 cats for nearly 3 weeks was hard, but knowing that Tessa was taking care of them left me completely free to enjoy my vacation. I would not hesitate to hire her again!

Tessa and Aimie had a good walk. Lovely picture of our dog during her walk. Tessa was confident walking our reactive dog, and she was available on a Saturday! Thank you Tessa. We will book you again!

Tessa and Victoria are always incredibly attentive and caring. Our boy Chewie absolutely adores them, and It’s clear that they treat him like one of their own. Their dedication and kindness make every visit a joy We couldn’t ask for abetter care. Highly recommended.

I have 0 breed preferences. I would just like to know of any medical conditions, activity preferences, and possible aggression triggers. I work with reactive dogs regularly, and take extra care when I am working with these pets.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
