Safety, trust & environment
I provide loving, reliable care in the comfort of your pet’s own space. This includes feeding, giving fresh water, walking, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I also make sure your home stays safe and secure while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know your pet is happy.
Information Tessa T. would like to know about your pet
- Is your pet friendly with strangers/dogs/cats? - Any medical conditions/allergies/medications I should be aware of? - Does your pet have any history of aggression, reactivity, or biting? - What is your pets preferred way to receive affection? - What helps your pet relax when stressed?
A typical day
I make sure every visit is fun, engaging, and tailored to your pet’s personality. For dogs, this can include walks, fetch, tug-of-war, and enrichment games that keep them both mentally and physically active. For cats, I focus on interactive play with toys, laser chasing, and gentle attention if they enjoy it. My goal is to keep your pet happy, stimulated, and comfortable so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I focus on creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. Choosing me means choosing a sitter who treats your pets like family, with care, patience, and enthusiasm.

Reviews
Tessa is responsible young adult who can be relied on for excellent care and respect for all animals. She would be a good person to come up with other different “play dates” for the dog. She would also be cautious around other dogs, to ensure the safety of everyone. Her family had two dogs while she was growing up. She was an active participant in their care.
Tessa is reliable and does so well taking care of my energetic border collie and senior kitty. She’s responsive, sending multiple updates while watching our pets and our pets love when she stops by.
Tessa is amazing with my cats Finn and Fran. They instantly melt into her when they see her because she provides a safe environment for them. She is one of the few people I completely trust with my fur babies. She pays attention to their needs and interests and gives them undivided attention. I would highly recommend Tessa as a pet sitter.
