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.
Reviews
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!

Safety, trust & environment
Love and safety are my top priority. Your pets will be taken care of like they are my own. I always ask my clients at the beginning of the stay if it is okay if I take their pets to the vet in case of emergency, and I am always available by messenger or phone so that you have peace of mind while you are away.

A typical day
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. 🌲

Availability
I am a full time graduate student so I am typically gone from 9a-5pm. However, either me or my partner usually come home on lunch to let our pup potty and we are happy to do so. Drop-ins and walks are scheduled for morning, evening, or weekends.
