Safety, trust & environment

My own pets (my cats, Tuna and Albacore) are spoiled rotten! They are fed both wet and dry food, and I’m comfortable with special dietary needs and restrictions. I’m always happy to take dogs on long (or short!) walks or hikes, I’m very conscientious of other dogs we might run into and properly harnessing/leashing. Play time is a must, I’ll make sure your pet stays happy and gets their energy out.

Pet care experience

As a life long cat parent and cat/dog sitter for friends and family, I can guarantee that yours will be treated as my own! Enrichment, feeding schedules, special needs, etc. will be closely taken care of. While I have two cats of my own today, I grew up around dogs and have been a sitter for friends and family over the years. I’m detail oriented, responsible, and understand the unique needs that each pet comes with.

Tessa is the biggest animal lover I know. Her mission anytime she’s outside is to spot and pet cats and dogs. She’s capable of doing anything needed and (God forbid) in an emergency situation she stays cool-headed. She’s also extremely empathetic and will be an amazing friend for your pet. I highly, highly recommend her!

Tessa is a very responsible person who loves animals. My cat Dillon adores her and would probably purr-fer I go on vacation meow-re so he can get pets and cuddles from Tessa!

Tessa is an excellent, caring, attentive pet sitter -- we cannot recommend her enough. We know our cat is always in the best hands with her. Not only is she mindful of keeping the litter box scooped and clean, and the food and water bowls filled and tidy, Tessa also gives plenty of cuddles and kisses to our cat while we're away. She also communicates exceptionally well, and her passion for animals is evident in her work.
