I work from home, so dog sitting fits in with my routine really well. Typically I work for an hour, then have a break. I love walking every day. I'm happy to get up early or stay up late if that's what your dog is used to - keeping their normal routine as much as possible. Your dog will be a bit stressed being away from you, so I want to do everything I can to help them relax and enjoy themselves.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a big place with a dog safe garden. Even though it's secure, I won't leave your dog alone in the garden, I'll always be there keeping an eye - or playing with them! I'm within 20 minutes walk of Blackford Hill, the Meadows and Holyrood Park, and there are a couple of quiet cemeteries nearby perfect for walks as well. I'm a short drive away from the beach and the hills, and I'll want to take your dog places they'll enjoy. I did the Dog First Aid course so I also feel confident about recognising when a dog needs extra help, and I'm a 5 minute drive away from an emergency vet hospital.

Information Jessica T. would like to know about your pet
I'll need to know your dog's normal routine, the commands and rules they know, and if they have any triggers or difficult behaviours. Ideally we'll meet at least once before your dog stays with me, and I'll do my best to learn all about your pet before the actual stay.
A typical day
I'll do what your dog is used to doing as much as possible, so they have a familiar routine. I'd love to share all my favourite walks with your dog, and maybe take them on more adventurous longer walks as well. We'll also have time together at home on the sofa in the garden or in front of the TV, when we can cuddle, or do some grooming, or have quiet gentle time. There is also always an invitation to dogs to join me in my morning yoga!

Pet care experience
I had a family dog growing up, took care of stray dogs while living in Thailand, and shared a Springer spaniel for a couple of years. For 8 years, me and my husband lived with the wonderful, much loved Daisy, a reactive rescue staffie who needed a lot of love, attention and care. Daisy died in January 2023, and since then I've taken care of a friend's beautiful black lab for a couple of months. I did a Dog First Aid course with Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home in June 2023, and I offered dog boarding until the end of 2023. I was away in Australia this year - and took care of my sister's gorgeous Jack Russell cross Freddie. I'm now back in Edinburgh and ready to offer boarding to one dog at a time. I want owners to be able to relax and enjoy a holiday, knowing that their beloved pet is being cared for and lavished with attention, cuddles and love! Because Daisy was a reactive dog, and for her last few years, a senior dog, I'm confident to offer boarding to dogs who are reactive to other dogs, and to older dogs who might have additional needs. We live in a big upper Villa with an enclosed garden, so it's perfect place for dogs to relax and enjoy themselves.
Reviews
Jessica was absolutely lovely and very reliable. I could relax with peace of mind and got plenty of updates. Roxy has a heart condition so it isn’t easy to leave her with anyone but it felt safe to leave her with Jessica and everything that was advised regards Roxy and her routine was taken on board. We hope to be able to use Jessica for dog boarding again. :)
What a superb service, the app is easy to use and informative. Jessica the dog sitter was amazing with my elderly border terrier, I received several photos and updates throughout her stay which removed any stress I may have had while attending a family funeral. I would highly recommend Jessica.
Jessica took great care of our whippet while we were on holiday, even making sure he was warm in his jumpers and coats. He is a nervous boy and Jessica was so patient in building his trust and planning games for him. She sent multiple updates each day and was clear with updating me how things were going, even when he was a little unsettled. She asked my advice on how to handle him being nervous at night and he was absolutely fine after that. We expected him to need to wind down once he came home but it was seamless and he seemed perfectly content. Thanks again!
Lottie had a fabulous stay with Jessica! We were sent lots of photos and messages over the few days which helped knowing she was safe and having fun 🤩 I would highly recommend Jessica for doggy care 🐾🐾
