Personal care with vet tech

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Jessica and I am so excited to meet you and your kiddos. I am a registered veterinary technician and PhD student at UGA, and I’ve been pet-sitting for a little over a decade. I am comfortable taking care of pets of all ages, breeds, and needs, including medications. In my personal time I enjoy hiking with my pup, going to the gym, and caring for my houseplants 🌱 My current services include: 🏡 Boarding I offer in-home boarding for one family at a time (up to 2 dogs per family). Your pets will be safe in my home with my personal pets and treated like part of the family! I do ask that they are good with other dogs, cats, and people, as well as up to date on their vaccines and parasite prevention. 🗓️ Drop-in Visits I am also available for drop-in visits in your home. These are 30 or 60 minute visits for potty, food, playtime, etc. and are great for cats or dogs. I can accept up to 2 drop-ins a day, but I will make exceptions to this depending on my schedule. 🥾 Dog Walking I love to walk and I’d LOVE to take your dog(s)! I offer 30 or 60 minute walks, in your neighborhood or elsewhere. I prefer that they are friendly with other dogs so that I can bring my pup along, but that isn’t a requirement.

Jessica and Ben are absolutely amazing with our puppies. They treat them like their own and give them so much love and attention every time. We’re incredibly grateful for how reliable and flexible they’ve been, especially when they've stepped in on short notice without hesitation. It's clear they genuinely care, and it gives us total peace of mind knowing our dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for. They go above and beyond, and we always come home to relaxed, well-loved pups. We truly couldn’t recommend them more.

Jessica was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our corgi! She sent lots of updates while we were gone. Definitely would book with her again.

Jessica was amazing with my two Great Pyrs and they both fell in love with her immediately. She was very attentive to the boys and gave detailed updates during her visits. I would recommend Jessica to anyone that wants their fur babies in good hands.

Jessica did a great job with our puppy, Atlas! She communicated every step of the way and provided detailed feedback after her visit with him. We love the photos she took while playing with him!

My family is very active and we can tailor our activities to the preferences of the dogs in our care. We love to hike, swim, and go for walks, and your kiddos are always welcome on these activities! We live 5 minutes from Memorial Park and can do dog park trips as well. Otherwise, our neighborhood has plenty of green space for walks and fun. 🌲
