About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.

About: Dogs - I have owned a dog since I was little and there has rarely ever not been one in the house. Cats- I have owned cats before and also kittens as well. I have completed a full 2 credit Co op at the OSPCA when in high school. I have lots of personal experience and knowledge with dogs and cats, either owning or taking care of them. I do have a full time job but I love to spend my time off caring for animals and getting to know new people and their pets :) I am respectful, easy going, polite, and punctual. I look forward to getting to know you and your animal(s). I currently work full time at Costco but I make time out of my schedule for taking care of animals because I love to do it I own a dog and he is very friendly. I’ve had him since he was a pup and he’s high energy so we spend time on a lot of walks, and we do a lot of enrichment time whether it’s just playing or doing tasks for treats. If I were to come to a clients home I am very respectful and will focus on your pet and make sure all their needs are met and are well looked after. Let me know of any routines to follow or just basic care and daily feeding schedules.

“Thank you for being THE best with Gemma and us. We appreciate all that you do.”

I am currently in university and do not have a job so have lots of spare time. I miss animals being in my daily life since moving to England so would love to spend time with pets on a weekly basis.

About: I have always had pets my whole life and believed that my kids should grow up with pets. I treat my pets like my fur babies. So when I go away or they are sick it’s important that they get proper care. I also understand that people need to work and sometimes having pets makes that a wee bit challenging. That’s where I can come in. Our pets get sick and require medicine that has to be given sometimes throughout the day and taking time off work doesn’t always fit into the schedule, I can help with that. I have dogs (my younger one) that has energy I also have a grandbaby puppy (my son) and they require walks more often then sometimes we can give them or they need that extra visit to help with energy levels for when you get home. I can help with that I love dogs … I would definitely say that I am a dog mom. I will care for your fur babies like they were my own At present I work only weekends but will be retiring this coming year. I am available to help out with your pet Monday to Thursday (anytime ) and Friday after 11am I think meeting me you will see that I am a dog mom. I have no problem helping with cats but we all know cats are a very independent creature. If they require medicine I can help with that. Dogs require more hands on attention which I can help with that. I would treat your pet like it’s my own and coming into your home I will respect that as well. Trust is everything !
