I’m a college graduate with a completely clear schedule! There might be times where I’m volunteering sometime mid-day on a weekday, but I don’t think it should get in the way at all :) needed care comes first!

Safety, trust & environment

For the time being, I will not bring pets into my personal home. I’m still moving in and don’t want your precious pets getting into anything they shouldn’t in the mess! This will soon change, and I will let everyone know when that happens.

Information Tessa M. would like to know about your pet

I want to get to know your pet the best I can! Their likes and dislikes, what things might make them tense or uncomfortable. How do they socialize around other animals/people? What are they reactive too? Do they have certain food habits? What are their favorite toys? Anything you think is important to know to best understand your pet and their comfortably. And your comfortability as an owner.

A typical day

My main priority is for the dogs to be safe, comfortable, and for them to feel to same amount of love from me as they do from you. I'll play the games that they love and if they have a favorite spot to walk I have no problem taking them! No matter how weird of a tradition your pet may have, or quirks, I’m a quick learner and will provide what’s needed.

Pet care experience

I’m a college graduate who has spent their whole life in the animal care world. Dogs big and small, young and old. Cats of all tempers. Even exotic pets! Birds, reptiles, bugs, rodents. I’ve done it all! It’s something I’m passionate about and take great pride in. With younger puppies I even can include some basic training. I’ve worked in the past with animals who are also sick if medication needs to be administered. I will make sure that the pet you love so much will be happy, comfortable, and safe.

Tessa is a responsible person. She grew up with German Shepards and Labs and she had very close bonds with them. She trained them and they listened to her. She did this with love and treats. We had Samoyeds and she dog sat for us. All dogs love Tessa. She has a talent for it

Tessa is a responsible person that has always loved and cared for animals. She is reliable and thoughtful and can handle any situation. Tessa has taken care my large German Shepherd and I recommend her with no reservations!
