Pet care experience
I’m an experienced and responsible animal lover who works from home, meaning I am available to provide lots of breaks for your pup. Growing up, I owned both cats and dogs and I adore animals. I currently have a one-year old cat at home, but love to have other animals around when I can. My schedule is primarily self-dictated and because I work from home, your pup will be my main priority. I grew up with German Shepherds, but have also spent significant time with Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, and Huskies. After years of dog sitting I have experienced many different breeds and love them all and feel completely comfortable working with dogs of varying sizes and activity levels. I love staying active so your pup will be well-exercised when they’re with me. I take breaks throughout my day to go for walks or runs on my own and your pup will be welcome to join me. And though I’ll be the primary caregiver to your dog I live with my boyfriend, who is a big dog-lover. He loves having them here, and plays with them constantly. What’s great is that he also works from home, which means your pup will have double the attention and care. I always treat the dogs in my care like they are my own and the comfort and safety of the animal I am working with will always be a priority to me. I personally know how hard it is to leave your best friend with a stranger, so I aim to make the owner/client relationship free of stress and very respectful. Pups who stay with us are like part of the family, and we love to do dog-friendly activities and take them on our outings. They will get lots of love from the two of us. I will check in everyday with photo and text updates. When I’m not pet sitting, I love to be outdoor. . I also love to travel and explore new places, and mostly just enjoy life with my friends as well as exercise, reading, and having peaceful time with myself (and maybe a pup). I have lived in three countries, and nothing makes me happier than exploring new parts of the world. But for now, I love returning to my home here and meeting new puppy friends I work from home full time, and my office opens directly to a fully fenced in yard. I am home almost all day. I am a very active person & your dog can always be included in my activities. I have a fenced patio and two bedroom home close to several parks in a very safe neighborhood. Your pets will be treated like my own during their stay, and get constant attention from both me and my dog.
Reviews
Tessa was great! She was able to watch our lab over Christmas weekend on just a couple hours’ notice. Our dog seemed to have a great time - we’d definitely recommend Tessa.
Tessa was very friendly and got my dog lots of exercise. He even wasn’t that excited to see me again :-(
She’s an excellent sitter, has sat for me several times and I have had zero issues. Highly recommend. Hey
Tessa took excellent care of our boy. Will most certainly use her again. She kept us up to date with pics and info during his stay. Thank you.

Information Tessa P. would like to know about your pet
Before a stay, I’d be happy to set up a meet and greet so your pup can get to know me a little better. I also like to learn about their normal schedule and routine, any medical issues they have, as well as any behavioral tendencies I should be aware of. All dogs must be house trained. Due to the proximity of neighbors, I also cannot accept dogs who are consistent territorial barkers.
A typical day
On a stay with me, your pup will be safe and happy. I run long-distance, and I love exercising dogs when I have the opportunity. We’ll go on long walks, beach trips, park adventures, and hikes. As I work from home, your pup will be well taken care of every hour of the day. I am always very involved with the dogs I am sitting, as I truly enjoy spending time with them. I will always happily spend as much time with each animal as needed. I know how much I worried when my pets were in the care of others, and I treat every animal with the love I would give my own. I spend a lot of my free time at the beach, hiking, or running, and I love having a dog to accompany me for these activities. At home, the dogs have access to the all rooms in the house, so I am constantly around them while I am working. If your dog is less active and more of a cuddler, that works for me too. Whatever your pup needs to be healthy and happy.
