Helping Hands Pet Care Services

Hi, my name is Tessa and I am 29 years old with a bachelors of science in biology from Penn State University. I have been an animal lover ever since I was little and have grown myself professionally in the animal field over the last several years! I am a trained professional in administering medication via orally and through injection, therefore, if your pet needs any medication I will not have an issue administering it. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, thus, the size and breed of your dog is irrelevant to me. I have owned dogs who were partially blind, completely deaf, had autoimmune diseases and one in which had epilepsy. Special needs pets and reactive pets are welcome in my care. If you are looking for a responsible, knowledgeable animal caretaker- look no further!

Tessa was amazing! I’ve only ever had family watch my Labrador. I was a bit nervous about hiring someone to come to my house and watch my dog while I was out of town. Tessa was so sweet and met me at my house before our trip and did a meet and greet with my pup. While we were gone she was there each drop in at the time we requested. My dog was happy and was thoroughly loved on. She gave us peace of mind so we could relax on our trip. I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to friends and family!

A week before our 6 day vacation we were looking for an in house sitter. My pets have anxiety issues. Yes, cats AND dog. We saw Tessa, read about her and thought she would be great. She came that night to meet our babes and for a tour. Soft-spoken, awesome, right away our dog totally took to her. Tessa came 3x daily. Spent a very good amount of time with them. And pretty much every day got some photos. Not only is she awesome with the babes, her photography is AMAZING. She could be an animal photographer too! Cool right? She also vacuumed up AND mopped the floor. She said, so we could come home, and relax. With our babes. I would recommend Tessa to everyone. Our babes were out playing through the house. All of them happy. Thanks to Tessa 😉

Tessa is AMAZING. Choosing her to watch my two pups was the best decision I made for them. She showed up on time, treated them with love and followed directions perfectly. One of my fosters was having some behavioral issues and Tessa took the time to make him feel comfortable. 10/10 recommend her.

Tessa was outstanding! She was quick to respond to any of my texts and messages. Every visit we got pictures of our girl and a detailed report. Tessa refilled food/water and would give our dog walks around the block. She put our minds at ease while we were away from home. We knew our Piper was in good hands.
