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 🌱 NOTE: I believe deeply in the human-animal bond and that everyone deserves to know the love of a pet regardless of their financial resources. My prices reflect my skills and experience, but I never want my care to be cost restrictive. If you need to pay less, please reach out. No questions asked! My current services include: 🗓️ 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 did a great job taking care of my cats. She sent detailed updates and included pictures with every visit. One of the cats is diabetic and gets insulin twice daily. Will absolutely trust her to watch them in future.

Jessica was so attentive with my boys and was even able to get my nervous one out from under the bed a couple times. She informed me immediately when one of them threw up, and even cleaned up their treat mats before she left. She is a great sitter!

Jessica is A+++. She did daily drop-in visits for my daughter’s two cats for three weeks. She was absolutely wonderful. She was consistent, responsive, reliable, friendly, and extremely responsible. I recommend her with the highest compliments.
