Pet care experience

Prioritizing your fur babies!

I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes! I adore any animal and love connecting with them. I previously worked at Camp Bow Wow so I’ve worked with 100’s of dogs with different temperaments, personalities, and personal needs. While working there I had to give all sorts of meals and medicines. I personally have 2 dogs and a cat but I’ve had snakes, a chinchilla, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, among other family pets. I’ve never sought out an animal, I’ve only taken in animals when other people couldn’t continue caring for them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I follow any basic rules set out for me, i.e. diet, walk time, social time. They are the children of the owner and I understand they sometimes need special care or the pet and owner have a certain routine in place. But I have basic knowledge on plenty animals and can gladly care for them as if they are my own.

Wow! I can’t tell you how much we appreciate Tessie. She takes such incredible care of our dogs. We have 3 Malinois and 1 granddog lab, and they are so well loved when she sits them. Plus she does extra at the house. We have a very skittish puppy who came from a hoarding situation and Tessie has such great instincts and dealt with Deedee so well that Deedee was literally eating out of her hand! Plus we get lots of pictures every day of the babies, which makes my heart so happy. Would 1000% recommend her for your dogs!

Tessie is awesome! She takes excellent care of Zoe. I get a great summary of Zoe’s day and she follows all of my instructions. She even modifies according to Zoe’s needs when it makes sense.

We have 2 female Malinois and 1 male German/Malinois mix. One female came from a bad hoarding situation. After having her 18 months, she’s still getting adjusted.All of that being said, Tessie was fantastic! Showed up consistently, loved on the dogs, sent pictures and updates! Plus our male hates bad weather and she handled that situation like a pro. When we are out of town, that is what gives us peace of mind! We want to know our babies are being loved on at home and visited a couple days of times a day. We will definitely use her again!

Tessie did a great job checking in on our girls! We have one who is very shy and she still get her a couple treats. Then she entertained our kitten for the rest of the drop in to get some energy out. Will be using her again!

I’m willing to work with any animal, from cows to insects. I’m not afraid of any breed of dog and can match any energy level they have. I also have experience administering medication (pill pockets, orally pilling, or putting in their food).
