Pet care experience

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 took excellent care of our dog, Ever! She sent photo updates while we were away and gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Tessa was awesome when taking care of my big Doberman/Rottweiler. He’s a big dog with lots of energy and she handled him greatly. Kept in contact with me regarding anything going on and sending photos for piece of mind.
