Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to follow whatever schedule works best for your furry friend! I understand how important routine is, so I make sure to maintain that whenever pet sitting. I especially want to provide enrichment, whether that be a long walk or their favorite toy.

Information Tessie D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they have any special needs, interests or schedules I should know about. I am comfortable with any breed and personality.

A typical day

We will play their favorite games, sniff all the smells, and *try* to chase all of the birds and squirel friends. I love walking along trails, taking dogs to parks, and meeting other dogs if your dog is a social butterfly.

Soft spot for rescues

Pet care experience

For my entire life, I always taken care of my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. This includes a range of dogs, from energetic, untrained puppies to seniors. I have experience caring for dogs with anxiety, require medication, high energy, or low energy. When I turned 12, I really wanted to rescue a pitbull mix, where I was his main caretaker, walker, bather, and feeder. It was his first time living in a house, so it required a lot of patience, love and training. I have two rescues of my own: a six-year-old dog and two-year-old cat!

Tessie takes such good care of my two boys and the outside kitties I dote on! She spends each visit playing with the kitties so they have amazing socialization in the absence of someone being home with them.

Dolly was in great care with Tessie! I’m very appreciative of the special attention she took to Dolly’s quirks and my needs with scheduling & drop-off. Definitely an above and beyond caretaker and would book again.
