Highlights
Pet care experience
instagram: @jesstrains_clt
I bring over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, including 6 years serving clients in the local area. I’ve built a strong book of loyal, repeat clients who believe in the level of care, trust, and consistency I provide. I have experience with most breeds, sizes, and ages—I have no breed or age restrictions and am comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets with special needs. I also an obedience trainer with a focus in animal behavior, allowing me to better understand each pet’s individual needs, routines, and triggers. This helps me reinforce positive behaviors, manage challenging situations calmly, and provide a safe, structured, and stress-free environment while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Booking a new sitter is always a little scary, but I am SO thankful I found Jess! Jess was always our go-to sitter for our reactive senior dog Rory, and now for our rambunctious puppy Fiona! We always feel confident that our pups will be loved and well taken care of while in Jess’s care.
Jess exceeded my husband’s and my expectations! She stayed overnight in our home for the first time for 9 days while we traveled outside the country. She took great care of our rescue pittie, Finn. We could tell when we returned that he got love, attention and some training while we were gone. Jess also left our home clean with mail & packages brought in. I highly recommend her and will be booking again!!!
Jessica took great care of my 2 dogs. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, giving me peace of mind while I was away. The pups were calm and content when I returned—clear signs of a great sitter!
Our dogs love Jessica. We are grateful to have someone we feel confident leaving our large and unruly crew with.
Our pup loves spending time with Jess! He’s always so well taken care of and relaxed when we get back.
We felt completely at ease with Jessica watching our senior, reactive dog. Communication was wonderful + photos were adorable. Rory loved his weekend of fetch and snuggles with Jessica!

Schedule
I am a full-time dog handler, so pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. Our fenced in yard gives dogs plenty of space to run, explore, and play safely. Throughout the day, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, extended playtime, and structured downtime to rest and recharge. I focus on maintaining a balanced routine that supports both physical activity and mental relaxation, ensuring each dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our property is fully enclosed with 4ft chain link fencing, providing a secure environment for supervised outdoor play. Each dog is provided with a crate for personal space and relaxation between outdoor activities. I encourage owners to bring blankets, beds, pillows, or other familiar items to help their dog feel comfortable, calm, and at home during their stay.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day begins with morning potty at 7am, followed by a structured routine designed to meet each dog’s individual needs. Dogs enjoy three scheduled potty breaks throughout the day and a minimum of 2 hours of active play. For dogs who prefer not to interact with others, I provide dedicated one-on-one playtime and enrichment, ensuring every dog receives personalized attention, exercise, and care in a way that makes them feel comfortable and confident.

- It is important for me to understand your dog's socialization history, whether they use a crate at home, and if they have ever shown signs of aggression towards people or other animals. This information does not discourage me from accepting new clients- rather is provides more information for me to create management plans to ensure the safety and comfortability of all dogs in my care.
