About Tess

My name is Tess and I am a 26y/o PhD student. Ever since I can remember I have had a love for animals and having moved to Manchester a year and a half ago, I would like nothing more than to meet some of my (furry) neighbours. I began pet sitting through Pawshake earlier this year while I was doing research in Belgium, and I am now continuing in Manchester! 

Experience-wise, I have been taking care of friends' pets for years while they are on vacation. This includes cats, rabbits and dogs. I grew up with my own rabbit and dog and frequently look after my mum's rescue greyhound, Daisy. Therefore, I am used to big dogs. I used to volunteer at a rescue kennels too, so I am accustomed to working with more difficult dogs who may have specific needs! I have recently adopted my own dog, Yoana, and I know she will enjoy joining for any dog walks (although she can be left at home if preferred!). 

Whether you need a dog walker, or someone to visit your pets in your home while you are away, I would be more than happy to help! My work schedule is flexible so I can work around your needs within reason. I live in Castlefield so lovely canal walks and parks near by. 

I am happy to have a coffee/ walk with you and your pet before any commitment so we can make sure we all get along. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me :)

Tess took wonderful care of my two cats Léon and Gaston while I was away. She gave them all the necessary care and a reassuring presence. Tess also sent me photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind during my holiday! Thank you Tess for your kindness :)
