Pet care experience

My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time!

Tessa is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. She truly loves animals, and I've seen firsthand how patient, attentive, and loving she is with her puppy and the dog's she's cared for in the past. She's the kind of person you can always count on, and I would completely trust her with any pet. I know she would treat your dog like her own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible dog sitter!

Tessa is amazing with animals! She is very calm and soft spoken which animals seem to be drawn to. She has grown up with dogs and cats and several Guinea pigs. She is responsible, loving and very capable of taking care of any pets needs.

Tessa has watched my two Yorkies before, and I fully trust her with them. She provides safe, loving care and always makes sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She is dependable, attentive, and truly treats animals like her own. Her great communication skills make her just the right fit for working with both pets and their owners, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and cared for. Tessa is genuinely an awesome human being who cares deeply about both people and animals.
