Pet care experience
I love my dog with all of my heart and I want what's best for her overall health, as well as mine.... sometimes that means I bring her to her grandma or her aunt for a visit! I decided to work with Rover because I wanted to offer an accessible way to aid you in creating the ultimate life for your best friend while eliminating an owners stress. I grew up with 2 loving shih tzus. I am the eldest sibling of 3. Now as a 25 year old, I have a 1.5 year old female bernedoodle, (Zula), that I have trained and raised all myself since she was a puppy. I would say - in addition to caring for my own pets - my many years of sitting dogs as well as humans qualifies me to provide the ultimate care for your precious furry pal. I have experience with a variety of breeds and am a great researcher if I am unfamiliar. I have high standards with my own dog in terms of love, care and training so you can expect that I would treat your pet with the same respect and attentiveness. I truly believe that exercise is extremely vital to an animals physical and mental health and in turn overall happiness. I love taking my dog to the dog park and on long walks. Our favorite thing to do is to explore and hike a new trail at stars cave or wilson lake. I also always have poop bags on hand ;) I am more than happy to give all of my attention to your pet if it's more introverted or antisocial. My dog is extremely social - she goes to daycare herself at least once a week and loves all people and animals. If yours does too I would love to introduce them on your terms! If this is not something you are interested in they don't ever have to meet - completely dependent on your comfort level - although I like to offer this as a plus. PLEASE feel free to reach out with any questions. Don't stress about the care and overall health and happiness of your dog - allow me to lend my assistance!
Reviews
Second time we’ve had Tessa and she goes above and beyond for our dogs. Love to see the photos she sends. It feels so good knowing our golden fur babies are in good hands!
Tessa was so great to work with and extremely flexible on working with us for care over Christmas. She helped us to be able to spend time with our family for the holiday and appreciate it so much. She took great care with the dogs, had lots of play time with them and sent updates. Our goldens were also big fans. Would be more than happy to rebook with her in the future!
I LOVE having Tessa care for Darla. She's very attentive & I love that she brings her own pup along for play times. Would definitely recommend Tessa to anyone! 💚
Tessa was great with Chief!

Safety, trust & environment
I walk my dog 3 times a day, at least one being 45mins-1 hour long. I currently live in a cozy house with lots of land for my pup to run around although it is not fenced in I have plenty of leash options for its safety if needed I am very transparent! I also spend lots of time at the dog park and am very aware of the environment and safety of all animals that are present. I own a play pen that I have used for my dog after she was crate and potty trained. I also have access to crates. I own plenty of toys and treats although I am very aware that some animals have sensitive tummies so I won't ever feed your pet anything without your permission. I have access to anything I would need to give your pet the best care available and I am always open to suggestions that would allow me to do a better job overall. I also have a car hammock in the back of my car seat so I can easily and safely transport the pups!

A typical day
My dog loves trips to the local dog park because she is very social and loves meeting new people and animals. Our favorite thing to do is to hike around the near by parks and trails or even around a lake. I also offer simple grooming services (bathing, brushing) you can add onto sitting or boarding!
