Friendly and a "slight" obession for dogs

Pet care experience

As a devoted pet parent to a lively border collie, I bring experience and passion for canine companionship to the table. During my time when I lived in South Africa, I actively engaged in providing doggy daycare services for friends and family, offering a nurturing environment for their beloved furry friends. Caring for my energetic border collie inspired me to participate in dog training sessions, where I not only found joy in the process but also recognized the importance of instilling good behavior. This not only strengthened the bond between us but also fostered a sense of trust and positive interactions with others. My commitment to creating a harmonious relationship between pets and their caregivers extends beyond the basics. With a genuine love for animals, I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every furry friend entrusted to my care.

Tessa was amazing! Coped really well with the instructions for our 4 month old golden retriever. She sent lovely photos and our puppy clearly had a wonderful day. We would definitely use her again. Thank you!!

I had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Bentley, to Tessa, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. During every visit, Tessa provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which kept me informed and reassured. It was evident that Bentley was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed their time with Tessa. Additionally, Tessa demonstrated exceptional professionalism, reliability, and communication skills. Scheduling was effortless, and they were always prompt and responsive to inquiries or requests. I wholeheartedly recommend Tessa to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible pet caregiver. They exceeded my expectations in every aspect, and I will definitely be reaching out to them when Bentley needs to be looked after. Thank you, Tessa, for providing such outstanding care for Bentley!

To whom it may concern, Tess took care of my home and pets for me for two weeks last year while I was travelling. She did an incredible job at looking after my home and lovingly caring for my two dogs. She took them for walks and swims, and gave them plenty of cuddles. I cannot recommend her enough. Dogs just love Tess, and I feel at ease knowing I can trust my home and babies with her.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a pet owner's residence, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to each individual pet's needs. In my home, I ensure a designated space for the pet to feel secure and at ease, providing necessary amenities such as bedding, toys, and water. If caring for pets in a client's home, I adhere to the pet owner's instructions and routine to maintain familiarity and minimize disruption for the pet. This includes feeding schedules, walking routines, and playtime preferences. I am diligent about maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, regularly attending to litter boxes or waste disposal as needed. Communication with the pet owner is paramount. I provide regular updates on their pet's well-being, including photos and detailed reports on activities and behaviors. Whether in my own space or the pet owner's home, my approach is centered on ensuring the pet's physical and emotional needs are met, fostering a positive and stress-free experience for both the pet and owner alike.

Information Tessa W. would like to know about your pet

It is crucial for me to gather detailed information about each pet ahead of time to ensure I can provide the best possible care. This includes understanding their daily routine, dietary preferences, medical considerations or allergies, favorite toys or activities, and specific behavioral traits. Knowing these details in advance allows me to create a tailored and comfortable environment for the pet, ensuring a seamless and positive experience during my time as their sitter.

A typical day

I possess an inherently cheerful and affectionate demeanor, particularly when it comes to interacting with dogs. My vibrant personality naturally gravitates towards showering them with the attention and love they deserve. As a passionate lover of the outdoors, I revel in the idea of taking your dog for invigorating walks, especially in the scenic surroundings of beautiful Bath. Recognizing the unique needs of each dog, I am committed to tailoring my care approach accordingly. Whether it's adapting to specific routines, providing extra playtime, or ensuring a comfortable and stable environment, I am more than willing to accommodate any requirements that contribute to their overall well-being. Your pet's welfare is my top priority, and I am dedicated to creating a positive and fulfilling experience for them during our time together.

As an international student at the University of Bath, I am currently not engaged in daily or weekly pet care responsibilities. However, I am genuinely enthusiastic about embracing the privilege and responsibility of caring for pets, driven by my deep longing for the companionship of my own pets back home. Eager to fill the void of daily interactions with furry friends, I am more than willing to extend my pet-sitting services to cater to dogs throughout the week, including weekends. Your pet's well-being and happiness will be my top priority, as I bring both eagerness and a heartfelt connection to the role of a dedicated pet sitter.
