Pet care experience

Walks, cuddles and trusted pet care

I’m a caring, trustworthy animal lover with hands-on experience looking after pets for friends and family. I grew up on a small farm in rural New Zealand and I understand every pet has different needs and routines, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I keep homes tidy, respect owners’ instructions, and can send regular photo updates if that’s something you would like.

Gem was communicative and sent me lots of photos of my dog having the best time with her at the park and on his walks! Would reccommend her :)

I can’t recommend Gem highly enough. With her own beloved pooch back in New Zealand, she has such a genuine love for animals. During her time in the UK, she’s cared for dogs across various housesits with the same care and attention she gave her own pets at home. She’s responsible, kind, and truly enjoys spending time with animals. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with her!
