Animal lover and vet tech

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, along with hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters. I also grew up helping my mom run her dog boarding business, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Right now, I’m taking a break from vet tech work, which gives me more time to focus on what I truly love—spending time with dogs! I share my home with two wonderful pups who are the loves of my life. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just providing loving care and attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Every dog is special, and I treat each one like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend!

Tessa is a very sweet person and did a great job watching my 3 boys. I would recommend her to watch your fur babies too.

Tessa took wonderful care of our dog. He was happy and calm when he came home. She took lots of pictures and helped us relax during our trip out of town. She is studying to be a vet, and I highly recommend her for your needs.
