Pet care experience

I will love caring for your dogs!

I have always had dogs and had a several dogs growing up. I currently have two dogs that I love one of which has heartworms. So I have experience caring for dogs who need medicine and extra care. One of my dogs is also senior so I understand the requirements that come with caring for older dogs. This will be my first time working as a pet sitter but I have lots of experience around animals.

Tessa cared for our three dogs over a 4day period. She was able to add my son’s dog to our little pack last minute as his sitter was unavailable. She is prompt and professional. One of my dogs is on daily medications, she was very thorough with his medications and made sure to give me updates. She is sensitive to their needs and spends time with them each visit. I was very happy with her services and will continue to work with her in the future. I highly recommend Tessa for your pet sitting needs.

Drop-In Visits • Apr 10, 2025

Not bad, however she sat on her phone ignoring the dogs. (I have a pet cam to keep tabs on the dogs). The 2 reasons I had a drop in twice a day was to feed my dogs and ALSO pet them so they weren’t lonely while I was gone. Tessa fed them and then played on her phone for the remainder of the time. As soon as we met for the meet and greet she was complaining about how much Rover took from the amount and how I should book her outside of the app. I’m pretty sure that goes against their regulations…

Tessa was great with my Sylvester and Riley. She did all my instructions and was very responsible to any changes. My dogs were happy and gay. I can never thank you enough. I would definitely rebook her the next time. I found your flipflops. Just come and get it if you have the time. Thank you again. God bless you!

Tessa did great with our two golden retrievers for drop in visits. Even on a late notice, she made it work and did a meet and greet with us which was very appreciated! Followed instructions and our dogs were well taken care thank you Tessa!

Tessa followed all instructions and did a wonderful job keeping in contact with us. Our three babies can be a handful but she handled them well. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using her services again!

Schedule

I currently work full-time, but I am able normally completely free on the weekends. I also work near downtown Kingsport so I am able to leave on my lunch break to do dog walking. I do travel around the area a lot for my job and sometimes work late so I may not always be nearby or able to walk dogs very frequently through the weekday.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Tessa can host up to 4 walks per day
Please let me know if your dog has any behaviors, dietary restrictions or special needs I need to know about. If they are on any medications please give me the instructions. Also please let me know their feeding and walk schedule so I can keep their routine as normal as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
