About Tessa

Hi! I am currently studying to become a vet here at massey and I am missing my dogs from home, so I thought I would offer my services for the benefit of you, and me of course! I have grown up in the waikato when we lived on a lifestyle block so we always had dogs. I was the child that slept with the dogs (even if it was on the floor 🙈), so safe to say I will love your dogs just the same. I have always felt a strong connection working with animals and wanted to get out there with my spare time as studying can be quite full on and I need a way to destress! I am available in the afternoons/evenings mostly, but my schedule does change so I can be flexible when needed. I can walk dogs for 30 minutes (or longer but on a case by case basis), and am free to pop in to feed any pets when needed! I am pretty well versed with all animals so I am open to looking after any other pets you may have. I am very dependable and am open to any challenge. I handle pressure well and if anything were to go wrong I am a quick thinker and can handle stress well. I know how to approach anxious animals and know when it can all be a bit too much for them so I create a calm environment. My golden retriever at home is on medication which i give orally so I am confident to do that for your pets. I can be contacted through call or text and will be keeping you updated when I am with the pets for your comfort! I am also comfortable with multiple pets at a time. I've always had at least 2 dogs and 2 cats while growing up so I have experience in juggling multiple at once. I am flexible with how long you need me to visit and care for your animals so whatever you need I am the girl for it!
