Active, compassionate, strong

Pet care experience

Dogs are a huge stress reliever for me! I have had dogs my whole life and cared for two dogs in my home for the past 8 years. I currently have one 65lb pup, Jack- a friendly golden/lab retriever mix we rescued about 8 months ago. He's great with other dogs at the dog park and on walks, but we haven't tested having another dog board in the home so I am not offering boarding at this time. I have a particular soft spot for large dogs who think they're lap dogs, but love all sizes of pups! My favorite thing to do with my dog is take him to the Metro Parks to walk the trails, or go to one of the local dog parks. I would love to take your pups to the parks for walks if that's what they like! Our previous dog was 110+lb lab and he had some health issues, so I am experienced in pilling, special diets/supplements and monitoring for medication side effects. I also have experience with mobility aids (ramps/stairs, special leashes). Pups who need a little extra TLC are in good hands when they're with me. I currently work as a nurse practitioner Monday through Friday, so my immediate availability is weekends. Starting April 13th I am open for weekday care, including house sitting and overnights. Send me a message to see if I can meet your dog or house sitting needs!

I've known Tessa a long time and she has a way with animals. She is a compassionate, yet firm, loving and understanding pet owner. Tessa is great with cats and dogs. I trust her judgement completely - having our dogs with her is the next best thing to having them with us!

Tessa is incredible patient and gentle with our dog. She takes him on long walks, plays fetch with him, or she'll just lie next to him and rub his belly. Tessa has earned my trust to watch, care for, and play with our dog, and she definitely deserves the chance to help other people with their pets.

Information Tessa S. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know how the dog will react to strangers, what commands they know, and what an ideal walk/drop in would look like for them. I am a sucker for Labrador Retrievers and other large dogs, but also love to snuggle with the tiny pooches.

A typical day

For dog walks, I can either walk your dog in your neighborhood or I will transport them in my car to a local dog park or metro park for a trail walk/run. Close to me are Canine Meadows dog park and North Chagrin Metro Parks. I love the gorgeous trails and they love it for all the fun smells!
