Safety, trust & environment

My pets at home run the whole house!😄 Every morning we get up to eat our breakfast and go outside for playtime/potty. Water is available in all rooms of our apartment! We are super pet friendly household, they can get on the beds and couches and we even have a special accessible dog bed for senior babies and/or babies who have any injuries. We live right beside a park that has a 3-4 acre dog park with plenty of space to run and play! Car rides and pup cups are always welcome and my work is super dog friendly so they can also be with me if necessary if separation anxiety is a problem!😄

Information Tessa S. would like to know about your pet

Please always let me know if there are any instructions for certain cares for your babies! Even if it’s the smallest detail ~ I want to provide a safe and healthy environment for them and for them to feel safe with them at their home if necessary! I don’t want them to feel knocked off schedule❤️ so every detail counts!

A typical day

Playing Fetch is always welcome! Pup cups and long drives (I have a jeep wrangler so sometimes I take the panels off for the pups!😄) Dog parks and walks! Living in graham is nice because downtown is super pet friendly and there’s so much to site see!

Pet care experience

For over seven years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for my facility’s owners dogs (jojo the goldendoodle, Nash the frenchie, and Finn their pitbull). More recently I’ve been trusted to care for my administrators pup as well! (Her name is milli(berniedoodle) and she just turned 1 years old!🙂 I’ve taught them all how to sit, shake and do nose boops if you ask them too!☺️ There’s also many of other friends I’ve taken care of along the way! Hooch (Blue Pitbull) Bodi (Pitbull) Nixie (tri-colored cat) Nina (Bernise Mountain dog) Jade (Maltese)

Tessa has always taken such good care of our dogs she is honestly the only person we trust especially with one of our dogs being a little more difficult, and having to keep some separate along with the cat trying to escape every time the door opens! She loves them all, knows their routine, and if they have medicine or not. She always checks up after we return from a trip to make sure the dogs are good, again we would not trust anyone else to watch our babies we can actually enjoy our trip and not stress the whole time. Would recommend her any day!!

Tessa does an excellent job caring for my dog. She treats them as her own and I never have to worry about her when she is under the care of Tessa. She always provides lots of updates and pictures (and pup cups!!) I would 100% recommend Tessa for anyone needing pet sitting.
