Pet care experience

A luxury vacation for your pets

I’ve been around pets since I was 2 yrs old. I began taking care of my pets at 8 years and I have always formed special bonds with them. I have also cared for abused and neglected dogs, and helped them to form trusting, healthy attachments. I have raised puppies from birth, potty trained them and taught them tricks and cared for senior dogs. I am currently available all day and night to watch your fur baby. I am pretty flexible and can work around your needs as well. I have a fenced yard and a friendly small dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily separate or crate your dog if needed as well as crate my own depending on what is most comfortable for you.

Very nice neighborhood, sweet and caring sitter. Consistently updated dog status and sent photos during stay. Would highly recommend and use again.

This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have been happier than to have met Tessa. We were gone for 11 days and she was extremely flexible and accommodating when it came to picking up our dog watching him for an extended period of time and also communicating clearly how things might work out in the event that we face some thing like a hurricane which is not uncommon to have Kern over the time period that we were gone

Tessa was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures, and our dog Gordon looked very happy in every picture we received. We can tell he was well taken care of! Highly recommend.

Tessa was excellent with my dog Solar. She gave updates daily as well as pictures, daily play, gave his meds on time as well as gave him a bath 2x. I’d highly recommend her.

Tessa was so good with Nola! I’m always nervous using new sitters but she kept me updated the whole time and the communication was great! Would definitely recommend her and use her again!
