Information Tessa W. would like to know about your pet
I love and welcome all dogs of any age. I do not take booking the day of. I typically book out 2 weeks- a month in advance. (Currently not offering boarding services at this time).
A typical day
When I am house sitting. I will follow your pets lead. Providing play indoors or outdoors as well as regular walks if applicable. On hotter days I make sure to keep a smaller time limit on outdoor play as any dog has the potential for heat stroke when temperatures reach 85 degrees or higher.

Passionate/Professional Pet Lover!
Pet care experience
I have been a pet owner/lover since as long as I can remember. I have always had at the very least one dog in my life and couldn’t imagine life without one. I currently have an American Staffordshire terrier named Jesse. She is my ESA and my best friend. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years now professionally. I have worked and experienced pretty much every side of the pet industry one could have. Originally from Florida, I used to sit all of my friends and family’s pets back home. I have worked in animal shelters as a volunteer and I have worked in a dog daycare setting/vet setting as well. I have experience training dogs and at one point had a family dog that was bred. I have cared for just about every size, shape, and breed of dog and even some exotic pets too. I am a very accommodating and flexible sitter that wants only the best for you and your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting all of you and your fur babies! My availability is flexible. I always make sure to block out the dates requested for my house sittings once they are confirmed and booked. As well, I do not bring my dog Jesse with me into other client’s homes. While she is very sweet it is a safety concern and any dog has the potential for unpredictability. This ensures your pet has my full attention and care. If need be, I limit my breaks or time away from pets to 2-4 hours max during any of my services. I do not take house sittings the day before the sit starts. This is to ensure I have the proper amount of time to prepare myself and my schedule for house sittings. For house sittings my cancellation policy is one week in advance from the start of the sitting. This is to make sure my clients have enough time to find a replacement sitter and so I can also fill in the dates if need be. For all other services my cancellation policy is 24 hours in advance. I am very accommodating. I make sure to schedule a meet and greet before each of my bookings. This ensures that both my clients, their pets, and myself are comfortable with the services being provided.
Reviews
Tessa was amazing with my dog, Leo! She was communicative, sent photos, and gave me extra updates any time I asked. Will be asking her to help again!

Tessa took great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats, as well as our home. She was even able to calm our anxieties throughout the stay, as this was our first experience with a house sitter. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
