Trustworthy In Home Pet Care

Hi! I’m a wife, stay at home mommy to my baby boy, and a lifelong dog lover. We have two friendly pups—Layla, our 5-year-old heeler, and Lilly, our 2-year-old Shih Tzu. They’re both well-socialized, playful, and love making new dog friends. I offer in-home dog boarding and daycare in a safe, family-oriented environment. We have a large, fully fenced yard perfect for supervised playtime, fresh air, and plenty of squirrels. Inside, dogs enjoy a calm space with plenty of attention and affection. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I ask that dogs are friendly with other dogs and children, are kennel trained, and come with their own kennel provided by the owner. I am able to follow your dogs routine closely with owners requests. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and regular updates so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I am home full time so am able to care for your babies around the clock.

I've used rover 4 times and Tessa has been the best. She communicated well and took photos daily. I really loved how happy Levi was with her and her family. Very highly recommended.

Tessa and her husband took great care of our black lab While we were out of town. Very responsive and kept us updated with pictures. Would book again with Tessa.

We were so lucky to get Tessa to dog sit Max. She spoiled him as much as we do. Max was so happy to go to the next day, so I knew she past the test for a great sitter! We are from out of town, and had to schedule the last minute! What a great experience 😍

Safety, trust & environment

I have two dogs of my own - heeler and shitzu. Both whom love playing with and being outdoors. We have a large fenced in yard with lot of room to roam and plenty of squirrels to chase. I ask that your pets are kennel trained (with your provided kennel for if an emergency occurs and I have to leave) and friendly with other dogs and children.
