Pet care experience

Dedicated Vet Tech

Hi there! 🐾❤️ My names Tessa & I have been a veterinary technician for 9 years now. I am also a proud pet parent to two of my own: Loki, my goofy and loving 5 year old Shepherd/Lab mix, and Elliot, my sweet 7 year old cat who is my soul kitty. They’ve taught me just how much personality, comfort, and love our animals bring into our live & how important it is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when we aren’t there. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and love that I give my own Loki and Elliot. I can’t wait to meet your fur family! 🐾

I offer overnight pet sitting, daily drop-in visits, dog walking, medication administration, and of course, lots of love, attention, and playtime! Whether we’re going on a long walk, having a play session, snuggling on the couch, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

All around great experience! We had never used rover before, so we honestly didn’t know what to expect! Right away we felt a great connection with Tessa. She is punctual, communicates well, and our pups loved her. We will definitely be hiring Tessa again!

It's hard for me to even recall when we were lucky enough to get connected with Tessa, but it's been at least five years that she has been an incredible cat sitter for our little family. With three kitties who eat wet food three times a day, taking care of our brood means staying over and I am so delighted to have found someone I trust in my home and with my beloved cats. As a vet tech with extensive and specialized experience, I trust her judgement when it comes to their needs and her care for them is always clear. Tessa communicates with me throughout the process and shares pics, knowing how much I miss my little ones when I'm away. It gives me tremendous peace of mind to know that Tessa is with my crew when I have to travel, and when I return home they are always comfortable and relaxed. She's Aunt Tessa to my kitties at this point and this point and she's a trusted friend to me.

It is my pleasure to recommend Tessa as an animal caretaker. She has a few years of experience pet sitting for clients of the vet hospital she works for. She acquired an Associates Degree in Veterinary Technology from New England Institute of Technology, and has worked as a Vet Tech for six years. Along with her education and experience with animals, she is a responsible and loving caregiver. I find her to be patient, hardworking, and devoted to caring for animals. Also, she is kind with a positive personality that makes animals feel comfortable around her.

If your dog has any special dietary needs please give me a heads up. Treats are always a must so I do not want to give chicken/beef/peanut butter to dogs with allergies!
