Information Tessa N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special requests or needs for your dog, including allergies. My dog has a chicken allergy so I am careful about what I give him.

A typical day

I'll take your lead on what is needed, but I do play with our dog in the morning and do puzzles/games and go for a walk. Our fenced in yard provides easy access to outdoor space with lots of toys.

Tessa did an amazing job with our three cats while we were away for a week! Communication was great from start to finish. I look forward to re-booking the next time we leave town!

Tessa is great! My cat loves her and she keeps me updated. I’ll continue to rebook with her.

Tessa was amazing. We were away for a longer trip, and she made it really easy to relax knowing our cat was so well taken care of. Her updates meant so much to us, and we are so grateful for her care. Thank you, Tessa!

Tessa is fantastic. She stepped in on very short notice and took such great care of Lexi. Lexi can be a bit dramatic 😼 but Tessa handled her with so much patience and kindness. Her communication was excellent, and we felt totally at ease while we were away. We’ve already booked her again and feel so lucky to have found her.
