Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional Pet Spoiler
From big dogs to countless cats, pets have always had a strong, joyful presence in my life! My pit bull at home is the reason I have such a soft spot for big dogs! I will always believe that the bigger the dog, the sweeter they often are, so I am more than comfortable caring for larger dogs. As for cats, I have two little spicy cats of my own, so I know how to handle even the sassiest of personalities! A couple of my other cats can also be timid and nervous at times, so I’ve learned how to be patient and gentle with pets that need a little coaxing. I’ve also pet-sat for neighbors’ dogs and coworkers’ cats on campus, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and care needs! During college, I also volunteered with a local animal shelter through their Dog Day Out program. You could often find me taking out a dog, going on walks, outings around campus, and car rides to help them socialize and decompress.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I'm caring for my own pets or those in a client's home, I always strive to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and, of course, treats! I also always strive to make sure both your pets and your home are safe and well cared for. Doors will always be double-checked, lights will be turned off in the right rooms, and I'll keep a close eye on your pet(s) whether we're out on a walk or just hanging out together at home! I understand that every family and every pet is unique, so I do my best to respect your routines while making your pets feel safe, cared for, happy, and loved.
Ratings and reviews
Tessa was absolutely amazing with my cats! The time and love she put into each visit made me feel quite relaxed at leaving them. She befriended even the most grumpy of cats. I looked forward to her uplifting and detailed narratives and pictures from each visit. I will definitely be using Tessa in the future!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I'm currently taking a gap year while completing online prerequisites and shadowing for graduate school, so my schedule is fortunately pretty flexible! That means I can easily fit pet care into my day, whether it's an early morning check-in, a midday walk, or evening cuddles.
