Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Tessa! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter and dog walker with over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve worked with more than 35 recurring clients and have experience providing walks, feeding, administering medications, overnight pet sittings, and house sitting. I pride myself on being patient, responsible and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, loving and dependable experience for both you and your pets! :)

Tessa was wonderful with our two dogs and they seemed to love their stay with her! She sent us updates each time she checked in on them and stayed to give them some attention. I would definitely recommend her for your next sitter! :)

Tessa is truly a hidden gem! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats and shower them with attention, but she also looked after our home and plants beautifully. She responded quickly to our messages, and when we returned, the house was spotless, as if she had never been there. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Tessa is definitely an animal lover. She has a cat that she absolutely adores, and may I say it?, spoils rotten. She would have a dog too, but currently lives in a No Dogs Allowed apartment. So when she visits friends, neighbors or relatives with a dog, she always offers to walk their pets for them. Not many people will do this, but that's Tessa for you.
