House Sitting • May 30, 2026

This was the first time we used Rover for housesitting and Tessa was so wonderful with our two pups while we were away for the week. Our puppy can be a bit of a handful and Tessa was proactive, communicative and went the extra mile to try different things to help deter his bad behaviors while we were gone. She left our house clean and even refilled our stash of frozen Toppls so that we were good to go with puppy enrichment treats when we got home. Leaving our fur babies is always stressful but Tessa definitely made it a lot easier!

Tessa was wonderful. I have a vocally spicy cat and Tessa handled her with no problems whatsoever. She even made the effort to interact with her with calmness, confidence, patience and understanding. She also checked in and was responsive to any inquiries. Would absolutely recommend her as a house and/or pet sitter.

Tessa was so fabulous with our pups when we needed a last minute drop in for the day. Our dogs appreciated the potty break and I appreciated how proactive and communicative Tessa was!

Tessa was great with our nervous girl! She was patient, kind and provided pictures and updates through her time with Bailey. The house was spotless when we returned, and Bailey was happy. We would love to have Tessa back to housesit with Bailey again!

Tessa is the best! She has cared for our dog, an 11 year old lab, for several years. She is reliable, patient and loves our dog as if she were her own. If you are looking for someone to love on your pup, look no further and use Tessa. You will not be disappointed!

Let me know if your dog is potty trained and crate trained. If not to one of both, that’s fine! Just let me know and we will take it from there!
