Certified Dog Trainer & Pet Care

Pet care experience

I'm excited to provide care and TLC for your furry family member! I've always had dogs and cats growing up and have had 2 dogs of my own. I became a Certified Dog Trainer in 2006 after being inspired from my first dog of my own. She was so smart and inquisitive! My second dog was the love of my life. He was a 75lb Boxer/AmStaff mix. After the passing of my last dog I decided to take a break from being a pet owner and help others with their pets. I know how it is first hand leaving your pets while you're away. You want them to be cared for just as you would care for them. You've found the perfect person right here! In addition, my boyfriend helps out with caring for dogs when they're here and is a natural with all dogs. Dogs love him! I look forward to hearing from you and am here to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for considering us to care for your pet and have a great day!

We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Tessa to watch over our pup Milo! We had never used Rover before so we were very nervous about the experience but now we wish we had started sooner. Tessa is very kind and loving and takes great care of Milo while we’re away. She’s been great at helping out while he was sick and taking meds and more recently helped us while we were out of the country for a week. She sends lots of great updates and pictures which makes us feel at ease. She’s just the best!

Can’t say enough great things about Tessa! We were away for a long weekend and were nervous about where to board our two pups. We found Tessa, had a meet and greet and they instantly took to her. Fast forward to our trip, we got frequent updates and Tessa really treated them to a fun weekend. They came home happy and tired from having so much fun. We’re so thankful for Tessa taking such great care of our pups.

Really appreciated the excellent updates and felt like I could check in/ask follow up questions without being a nuisance - excellent care all around!

Tessa did a fantastic job taking care of our pup when we were on vacation. He got tons of exercise and seemed relaxed and happy. We got lots of updates and felt confident with her care. We even got a pic with the belly-up, paws up, total relax pose which made us feel good that our dog was having a nice vacation too.

I live very close to many trail heads and love to go hiking. Plus I love walks and there's great places to walk in my dog friendly neighborhood as well.
