Petcare By Tess

Specialties

One of the things that set us apart from other pet sitters is our experience with a wide range of animals. Petcare by Tess doesn’t only offer pet sitting for dogs and cats — we can also take excellent care of your horses, pigs, fish, turtles or birds! We know that it is very important that you feel confident that your pet sitter is competent and well equip to look after your treasured pets to your own high standard of care.

We find that horse owners, in particular, are looking for someone with the experience and confidence they can trust with their horses. Look no further! We have owned and handled horses from a young age and can confidently feed, rug, and handle your horse whether they are a gentleman in the paddock, or a cranky so-​and-​so who rules the roost.

We also get enquiries from some dog owners who are concerned that we may be unwilling to look after their Rottweiler /​German Shepherd /​Bull Arab /​Ridgeback or Bull Terrier. We love big dogs and we have no prejudice aga

History

Established in 2010.

Growing up on acreage with dogs, cats, horses and chickens, it was always a challenge for the family to be able to go away on holiday. We often enlisted the help of neighbors but with our menagerie it was quite a big job and we didn’t like to impose.

With so many animals it would have been unaffordable to put them all in kennels (and i’m not sure the horses would have fit!) It was clear that there was a need for an affordable, in-​home service that could look after our animals to our exacting requirements, and be reliable and trustworthy enough that we could holiday without stress.

When I got a bit older and needed to earn a bit of pocket money to travel, I put that idea into action. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now and during that time have worked to make my service as professional and reputable as possible.

I love animals so pet sitting is a perfect fit for me. I still have a ‘day job’ but my dream is to one day be able to work with animals full time.

My name is Tess and when you go on holiday, I step in to keep your pets happy and healthy. Growing up surrounded by animals has instilled a deep love and respect for all types of animals, with the possible (ok, definite) exception of spiders!

Throughout my childhood, some of my happiest memories feature friends of the four-​legged variety. Having recently purchased a house in Crestmead, our family has expanded to include 2 adorable staffy puppies, Hunter and Juno, and Stumpy the python.

I currently work in administration, have reliable transport, full public liability insurance, and an ABN number. I have a commitment to living up to the trust you show in me by placing the care of your pets and homes in my hands. I am reliable, mature and responsible and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with my service.

I hope to hear from you soon — send me an Email and I can answer any questions you may have, and discuss what you are looking for.
