Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to commute to take care of your pet(s) at your home. I strive to make your pet(s) feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone by playing and loving on them, taking them for walks, administering medications if needed, etc.

Information Jessica U. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special instructions for your pets. I prefer not to work with large aggressive dogs. Thank you for understanding!

A typical day

When dropping in to check on your fur baby, I am flexible with activities you prefer for them! I can hang out with them on the couch, take them for walks, go get a pup cup, play with toys, etc. Just let me know what your pet enjoys, and I’ll make it happen!

UT Veterinary Student

Pet care experience

I am a current veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where I am pursuing companion animal medicine. I have spent the past 2 years working in a vet clinic, where a majority of my experience has been working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I am new to Rover, but I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and taking care of others’ fur babies!

Jessica was amazing and so easy to communicate with. Without her my wedding would have been even more stressful than it already was. She provided updates and pictures and was very punctual. Highly recommend for anyone.

Jessica has been a fantastic dog sitter for our two dogs. It’s obvious she loves animals and our dogs are always so happy when they see her. She’s also a vet student at UT which is great because one of our dogs requires weekly injections and she is trained to give injections which is a big relief when we are on vacation. I would highly recommend Jessica as a pet sitter.

Jessica has looked after my cat multiple times in the last few years. She has always gone above and beyond to make sure that their needs are met and they get quality time with her. When I was away she would regularly send me videos of them playing and pictures of them cuddling on the couch. She was more than willing to accommodate her schedule as well to ensure that my cat was not left alone for extensive periods of time. I never once felt uneasy or nervous leaving because Jessica was the best pet sitter and always attentive. I cannot recommend her enough, she will always be top on my list of people to call when I am going out of town.
