About Tessa

Hi pet owners,

My name is Tessa. I grew up with cats and dogs. Currently not having any pets of my own and I live by myself. I'm ready to give your pet a fun walk/play and petsit them at mine during the day or a sleepover and will housesit if it makes things easier. I don't have a yard, but there's lots of parks around me in Ixelles.

I have volunteered quite a lot in the past for shelters and animal organizations and therefor fostered lots of dogs over the years. From 12 week old puppies to senior dogs and hospice dogs and dogs that come from rough backgrounds. I'm familiar with dog behaviour and their body language. Wether it's more a dog that's a bit more anxious and shy ( and might not tolerate other dogs ) to very energetic and out there, I believe in positive reinforcement and earning their trust and go from there. I am able to give medication if needed.

Home visit: Anywhere from 30min to 1h. Will give them food if needed, clean litter, go potty, snuggle, play and have a little walk with them if needed.

Petsitting during the day: Your pet will stay at my place. I work from home in an appartment and i'm flexible with my hours. Your pet would get lots of hugs and play and 2-3 walks a day and taken care off! Would never be left alone for more then 3-4 hours over the course of the day. I only petsit one dog at a time at my place, unless they come from the same household, then I can take two. Same applies for cats.

Pet boarding overnight: For pet boarding overnight, your four legged friend would be spending the night in my living room. I work from home, so they would never be alone for more then a couple hours a day. I don't have a yard, but my appartment is spacious enough and we will be doing 2-3 walks a day and snuggle a lot. I only petsit one dog at a time, unless they come from the same household, then I can take two. Same applies for cats.

Housesitting: To not have too many changes for your pet, I can housesit. We will keep the same daily routine that your pet has going on right now. I'd treat your home like it was mine, keeping it nice and tidy.

Ready to meet your pet and see if it's a fit and learn more about them. I respect any rules you have for your pet.

You can always contact me for additional information or if you have any questions.

Thank you and have a good day!

Fluent in English and Dutch and basic French.

Familiar with dog training techniques
I lived for a long time in LA and there I started volunteering as a foster parent for an animal organization. It would give the dog a break from shelter life and learn what it is to be living in a home until they find their forever homes. Most dogs came from bad situations or had high anxiety or were simply abandonment. I provided my home for a safe space for them to decompress and let their character shine. I have fostered puppies, adult dogs, dogs that had medical problems, senior dogs and hospice dogs.
