Pet care experience

Your pet's second favorite human!

I currently have three cats and a dog! Im very well rounded in terms of animal care, safety, and enrichment. I am a nursing school student so I can promise you safety is my top priority if your baby needs special care, I can safely administer injectable medications if needed.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have worked with Senior and disabled animals so I am able to provide a well rounded range of care. I can also send regular photo and video updates because I know how scary it can be to trust someone in your home with your babies. You will never be left wondering under my care. For cats- Having 3 of my own, I totally understand that every cat has a different personality! Whether your cat is social and loves attention or prefers space and a calm environment, I take the time to earn their trust and keep their routine consistent. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Tessa did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and happy. We loved getting regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Even our shy cat warmed up to her! We came home to happy cats, clean litter boxes, and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely book with Tessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Tessa has been a friend of mine for over three years. She is very responsible and one of the most loving towards animals I have ever known. she has walked my dog a female pitbull terrier twice a week for the past six months and has never been late, no complaints and she always brings my little friend a treat for the end of the day

Let me know if your pet has any medical conditions or disabilities, as well as behavioral conditions. I will happily accommodate to them! I have worked with senior animals and special needs as well so I can work with nearly any situation.
