Pet care experience

My name is Tess and happen to have an extensive background in watching dogs. Not only did I grow up in a dog family where there would be upwards of 5 dogs in our house at a time, but I also started my own dog sitting business when I was 14. I have also worked in dog grooming salons. I have spent most of my years caring for dogs. I have a way with dogs, where they know I am an alpha and their friend. Whether it was dog sitting for weeks at a time while people were away on vacatio, having my neighbors keys because they are doctor and would need someone to rely on for last minute dog walking in case of doubles or surgery running long. I always have a few long standing clients that I take care of. I work with dogs who are leash agressive and calming them down. I am someone that is able to care for and love your dog. I am also handy if the dog has special needs, such as medications or even scared of wooden floors (I had one dog I watched and would make carpeted 'runways' so he could get from one room to another). I currently live by Prospect Park, by the Dog Beach. I would love to watch your dog. Any dog, breed or age, I am your woman. Please feel free to message me and ask me more questions! Looking forward to meeting you! Tess

Frank had the best time at Jess’s place. She was so thoughtful in sending lots of photos of videos of Frank playing at the dog park and she also helped him a bit with his leash training. When we left you could tell Frank had really bonded with her. We would love to book with Jess again.

Tess really helped me out in a bind. My dog and I are new to the area, so he was stressed out even more than usual. Despite that, I got an update from Tess that they were snuggling on the bed and knew that things must be going well. Thank you!

Tess was terrific! She took great care of our dog while we were away, including some fun playtime at the park, and sent us pictures during the stay. We knew our dog was in good hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Tess again!

Left my dog Chance with Tess for the weekend. Would like to say that she was great with him. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date on how he was doing. I felt very comfortable with him staying with her. Will definitely use her again.
