💗Dogs and Cats Are People, Too💗

Pet care experience

Dogs are like family to me, I appreciate their unique characters and quirks, their loving devotion and their enthusiasm for fun. I like to spend time with old dogs who need some extra tlc and a trot around the neighborhood, tiny dogs who like to strut and younger dogs who enjoy investigating and play. I am a small person, so larger dogs (80+ lbs) and/or dogs who are just learning their way around the world of humans might find a more ideal buddy with a bigger person who has a stronger training background than me. I provide love, patience, occasional treats, training reinforcement and appropriate exercise for our canine companions—it’s important to me that your dog feels safe, loved and maybe a little tired after we hangout! Let’s talk more soon about your dog’s care, xo!

Tessa was amazing! She took such good care of our two dogs (30lbs 8yr old Pomeranian mix and 60lbs 2yr old pitbull) while we were gone over thanksgiving for 5 days. She gave us great daily updates with pictures and made sure they got lots of exercise and love. Stayed at our house and kept the place just as we left it. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies (aka pets)!

Safety, trust & environment

I unfortunately cannot accommodate for furry friends in my home. I can do drops ins anr overnights Let’s figure out how we can work together to provide the most ideal care for your loved ones while you are away.

Information Tessa L. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs and have no preferences, though I especially love scrappy rescues and pitbulls. I like learning about dogs’ characters and needs of your dog(s) and your expectations around their care, so that we can become comfortable and gain trust while we walk, exercise and play together. As i am a smaller person, young dogs new to training and larger dogs (80+ lbs or more), can be challenging for me because of my size.

A typical day

We will go on walks in your neighborhood and have play time in nearby parks. Occasional outtings to dog friendly parks as well may be scheduled.
