Pet care experience

Dog mom of 3 at your service!

I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally raised two puppies, guiding them through training, socialization, and daily routines. I’ve also worked closely with senior dogs, providing patient, attentive care tailored to their unique needs. Over the past year, my family has fostered more than 10 dogs ranging from 3-week-old puppies to elderly dogs, giving me experience with everything from bottle feeding and house training to supporting older dogs with mobility and comfort. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize safety, structure, and lots of love.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, and medications to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m careful about securing doors, gates, and leashes, and I always leave the home clean and tidy. I also send regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Tessa was amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog, kept us updated with photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Tessa again and highly recommend her!

Tessa is wonderful with all of our animals. She is empathetic, responsive, and proactive rather than reactive. Our animals love knowing she's coming over to take care of them or walk them, and they are always sad to see her go! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Tessa is a wonderful, caring, responsible dog walker and sitter. She shows up on time and my animals love her! She has grown up with animals and has trained my dogs with new tricks and to be better on the leash.
