Caring for your furry best friend like they’re my own

About Tessa
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely believes there’s no such thing as too much time spent with dogs 🐶🤍
I grew up surrounded by Golden Retrievers and Labradors and was lucky enough to help my mum with breeding them, so caring for dogs has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. We later had four Pugs - which we also bred, so I’ve also had plenty of experience with very different personalities, ages and needs!
These days, I’m the person my family and my friends call when their dogs need looking after. I regularly care for my family's dogs, taking them on walks, to the beach and making sure they get plenty of love and cuddles while their humans are away.
I am a part time flight attendant, so when I'm not flying off around the world I have a lot of available time I would love to fill.
I’m doing this because I genuinely LOVE animals - especially dogs, and I’d love to spend my spare time walking, playing with and cuddling dogs! 🐾
🐕 What I offer
• 30 or 60-minute dog walks — solo walks tailored to your dog’s energy and needs
• Home visits — feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles and company
• Daytime care in your home — perfect for dogs who don’t like being left alone for the day
• Overnight house sitting — staying in your home with your dog while you’re away
• Beach adventures & longer walks — for dogs who love a little extra exercise and exploring
• Puppy and senior dog care — happy to work around their individual routines and needs
• Medication and special routines — provided with clear instructions
I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own, while making sure I follow their usual routine, personality and individual needs. Whether they need a big beach adventure, a gentle stroll, lots of cuddles on the couch or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve.
I don’t offer boarding at my own home, but I’m very happy to care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, where they’re familiar and feel safe and relaxed.
Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is being loved, cared for and having a wonderful time while you’re away. I’m also very happy to send regular photo updates so you can see what your furry friend has been up to! 🐶💕
I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾
