Reviews
Tessa was incredible, compassionate, and responsible in every way taking care of our elderly disabled pups. A quick history, my Pomeranian Teddy was recently diagnosed with diabetes two weeks ago, and then two days later became totally blind. We have been at his side non stop, but had plans that required us to be out for at least 6 hours. When we initially spoke to Tessa she was right on it, telling us her history with elderly, blind, and disabled pets and gave us the piece of mind to trust her. We just got back from our trip and Teddy was excited, energetic, and had confidence we hadn’t seen in awhile. Reviewing the nanny cameras we have, which we told her about. She took the time to comfort Teddy when he was scared or crying. She sat with him and nurtured him and made sure he knew someone was there with him. She also was able to give him insulin with no problems at all. For this we definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their pets taken care of to the fullest possible. 5 out of 5. Thank you Tessa!
Tessa did great with Walnut on his first walk.
Tessa was the BEST. My dogs got the best care and loved to see her when she came. I I was so happy to know she was there for them in our absence. I can't say enough good things. Will DEFINITELY call for her next time we're out of town.
Thanks so much for sitting with Remy last night. I know he was happy to have you there. Thanks for keeping him company!🤗

Information Tessa S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special care needs, behavioral challenges (i.e. stranger danger, dog or people reactivity or aggression, resource guarding, collar sensitivity, bolting or jumping tendency), any allergies, or any additional accommodations required so that I may be prepared. !Please let me know if dogs cannot safely be walked together so that I may schedule enough time to walk them separately!
A typical day
With my clients we can go hiking on the Palos Verdes trails, a nice walk along the beach or through the city if you are looking for socialization, enrichment sessions where we use training to exercise the mind, and a good game of tug of war or hide and seek is always fun too.

Availability
Tessa's Tailored Pet Care, is my full time job. My availability is quite flexible, with responsiveness and reliability to my clients being a top priority. I am available 7 days of the week most weeks with a flexible schedule. I am available to make stop ins at your home to check on your pet and take them out for potty breaks, on walks, or stay in for a training session or just cuddle time. Whatever your pet needs! I can also do overnight stays on your home, I currently do not offer boarding in my home. I have a 10 year old pet rabbit and he's not so fond of other animals being in his environment. Overnight stays would include a long walk in the evening and a shorter walk in the morning.
