Caring & Reliable

I have always considered myself an animal lover. I grew up with all kinds of pets and loved every bit of it. I love taking dogs for walks, playing outside with them and snuggling up on the couch. I live in a very quiet neighborhood that is perfect for long walks. Plenty of room for sniffing around! Above all else, I am all about safety. I do have previous work experience at an animal hospital, so I have worked with many different pets with many different needs. I even have my own personal experience with a pet with specific care needs. I am willing to go above and beyond to ensure your pet gets everything they need. My house is a safe space for all animals. I would love to give your fur babies all of the love and attention they need. I look forward to meeting all kinds of new furry friends.

Tessie was amazing! She took great care of our dog while we were away for nearly a week. She sent updates and multiple pictures every day. It gave us great peace of mind about leaving our dog for the first time. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future. Thanks again Tessie!

Doggy Day Care • dic 17, 2019

Our little Morkie Charlie can be skittish with new people so we took him for a visit before we left him there, Tesse and her husband Logan were obviously animal lovers and he took to them very well. Their home is a very clean and safe environment. We started by leaving him only for a day and he settled in nicely. We will definitely bring him back in the future for day care and boarding during vacations.

Tessie took amazing care of our Dalmatian, Morgan. Morgan is a very anxious dog, but took to Tessie SO well! Tessie took Morgan for walks and gave her all the attention she needed for the weekend! We are going away in two weeks, and Morgan will be staying with Tessie for over a week!

I was very fortunate to have Tessie watch our 4 week old foster kittens while we were away on vacation. She was able to keep up with their daunting feeding schedule. Kept them safe, loved and cared for, for our week away. She sent us clips and pictures to keep us posted. I really appreciated the fact that she kept them in her home. Her home is extremely clean and pet friendly. Will definitely use her again and will recommend to friends/family

Safety, trust & environment

I care for other people’s pets the way I would care for my own (and I am obsessed with my pets). I want to make sure they have a fun relaxing time when they’re away from their family. Missing their families can be stressful so I try to follow their lead and give them the time and attention they need. I love to send lots of pictures because I know how much I miss my pets when I’m not with them. I never leave the house without a leash. I want to take the best care of other people’s fur babies. When I have dogs, we take walks around the neighborhood, play, and snuggle up with lots of love.

Pets

A typical day

I love to tailor each pet’s visit to their own likes. Some pets love to walk the neighborhood and sniff out all the new smells as much as possible. Some pets love to get belly rubs and snuggles on the couch. I love to do whatever your pets love to do. I try to make their time away from home as fun and comfortable as possible for them.

I do have cats. My cats tend to just ignore dogs. Let me know if your dog is unsure of cats or has never met cats. I would much rather have my cats put away for their safety ahead of time. I also like to know if your dog has any fears or anxieties so I can try to ease them or avoid them. Also please give me your pet’s daily routines/schedules. No detail is too small. I want to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
