Peace of mind for you and your pup.

Hi, my name is Tessa, and I'm a passionate dog lover. I've been around dogs my whole life and have always had a special connection with them. As a dog sitter, my top priority is to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet while you're away. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog behind, which is why I strive to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your dog may have, whether it's administering medication, sticking to a strict feeding schedule, etc.

Tessa was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs, Parker and Koda. She made our first experience using Rover completely stress free. She kept us updated, followed all our care instructions, and made sure our pups were happy and comfortable. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!

Great great experience. She was communicating with photos and I loved seeing Fi having such a great time with her and how well she made friends with her pup.

From the moment we met her, it was clear that Tessa has a genuine love and passion for animals. She took the time to get to know our pet's unique personality, preferences, and routine, ensuring a seamless transition during our time away. Tessa's attention to detail is truly impressive. She followed our instructions to the letter, ensuring that our pet received the same level of care and affection that we provide at home. We appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent, allowing us to see just how happy and content our pet was in her care. Not only is Tessa reliable and trustworthy, but she goes above and beyond to make sure both pet and owner are comfortable. It's evident that she treats each animal as if they were her own. Our pet didn't just have a sitter; they had a new friend. We returned home to find our pet relaxed, well-fed, and in great spirits – a clear sign that Tessa had not only met but exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is not only professional but also genuinely cares about the well-being of your furry friend, look no further than Tessa. We'll definitely be reaching out to her for our future pet sitting needs. Thanks a million, Tessa, for providing such excellent care and peace of mind!
