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.

Information Tessie L. would like to know about your pet

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).

A typical day

I loveeee playing with animals, so I will spoil them if allowed. I have lots of energy and am willing to use it all on the fur babies. I can also take your babies to parks or any of their favorite locations (i.e. the pet store, drive thru, or wherever their hearts desire) if you’d like!

Pet care experience

I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes! 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. I adore any animal and love connecting with them. I also 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.

Tessie was one of the best sitters we’ve had from Rover. She was super accommodating to our schedule and needs. She payed close attention to Zoe’s needs and adjusted as needed. She communicated updates and how Zoe was doing and was very responsive to my requests and communications. We will definitely use her again.

Tessie was great. She did a great job taking care of my house and 3 large dogs, and even went out of her way to buy treats for my dogs. I am looking forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
