Love for everyone’s fur baby!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was young I have had a passion for animals. I have been taking obedience and agility classes for over 14 years, at times training 3-4 times per week along with participating in agility trials in the midwest area. I have been part of a local agility club, showing and helping put on numerous agility trials. My life has revolved around taking care of dogs, showing dogs, and being part of that club, sharing the love and respect of dogs.

Tessa is a hard worker and loves dogs. She will take care of your dog like it’s her own. She will make sure your dog is walked, fed, and exhausted enough energy from playing that your dog will be ready for a nap until you get home.

I trust Tessa implicitly with my pets. She has years of experience and a patience with animals that is not easily found. I rest easy at night knowing that my pets are in good hands with Tessa!

I am writing to recommend Tessa Pooley as a dog sitter/walker for Rover. As Tessa's father, I have been observing Tessa's love for dogs since she was able to walk. My wife and I fostered Tessa's fondness for dogs early on and enrolled her in agility classes when she was 7 years old. She has been taking obedience and agility classes for over 14 years, at times training 3-4 times per week along with participating in agility trials in the midwest area. Tessa has been part of a local agility club, showing and helping put on numerous agility trials. Tessa's life has revolved around taking care of dogs, showing dogs, and being part of that club, sharing the love and respect of dogs. There is no other person more qualified to be part of Rover's team than Tessa. I highly recommend Tessa as a dog sitter for Rover!

Tessa has watched our three fur babies for the past 7 years. She always makes sure they are walked, fed and given medications as we request. We return home to pets that are not anxious, and acting as if we have never left. What more could we ask for?!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs that are very friendly. I have worked with many different breeds over 14 years and many different behaviors. I am capable of taking care of challenging dogs and making sure they are safe along with myself.

Information Tessa P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues and anything important that I should know in order to have a successful visit. Also if there is certain places I should avoid.

A typical day

I will exercise your dog physically and mentally with some different games that I have learned over the years to release some entertainment the dog may have. We will go for long walks and explore the surrounding area

I just graduated college and currently looking for a full time job. I decided to take care of dogs in my free time while I look for a full time job . I enjoy being around animals so I thought this would be perfect to keep me busy while I look for a full time job.
