Safety, trust & environment

I've been a pet sitter for several years, I love the joy of knowing I'm making a positive difference in both pets' and owners' lives. From daily check-ins to playtime and walks, I've got the experience to handle it all. I love having a meet up before service dates to get to know you and your pets also to walk through where food/medicine/collars & leashes/ etc. are located. It is also just a great way to interact with and get a feel for your pet to ensure we are all comfortable with one another!

Tessa is a phenomenal cat sitter! We feel so lucky to have found her. Our cat needs to take oral medication and Tessa was able to administer it with no problems. Our cat didn’t even run away after. I highly recommend her!

Tessa has been caring for animals for years. She has helped me care for our dogs and cats numerous times. I know our animals are in good hands when I have left our pets in her care. I would recommend Tessa highly!!

Need to know of any concerns about pets. Do they like other animals, should they be played with or kept inside, do they have commands and how well do they obey. Do they need food or toy motivation. Are they or can they get aggressive? I will never turn down an animal because of their behaviors or "problems" I do always prefer to have a meeting prior to booking and will be honest about if I think I myself can handle your pet. I need to know that you, the owner, are being honest with me for your animal and my safety. I have dealt with dogs with leash aggression and dogs that do not like other dogs, that does not scare me, so long as I know. I have also dealt with cats that do not like people or who are shy or who need 30 mins-1hrs worth of attention, again so long as there is honesty I am fine.
