Tessa looked after Melissa Matteson’s pets

Tessa was a wonderful caretaker for our goldendooodle, Emma. She would pick her up from our house at the appropriate time and take her to her house to watch Emma. Emma always jumped right in her car and was so excited to see her. We never had to worry about Emma while we were out of town if Tessa was her caretaker.
