You dog’s favorite post grad

Hi! I’m Gem! 🐾 I’m a recent law school graduate who has been pet sitting throughout law school and while studying for the bar exam. Now that I’ve finished the bar, I’m in a career transition and have more flexibility in my schedule, so I’m excited to spend some of that time caring for your pets! I’ve cared for dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxing and getting lots of attention, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m responsible, dependable, and communicative, and I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶💕 ***please note that I am allergic to cats and as such cannot accommodate families that have cats in the home unless I am only dropping in/dog walking

Safety, trust & environment

I love staying active, so your pup will always get plenty of exercise on our walks! As a law student with two dogs back home (a playful pup and a senior), I’m used to handling all ages, little emergencies, and following any special care instructions. I’ll make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. 🐾

A+++ Sitter We loved Gem. She sat for our Buster all weekend. And Buster is a challenge actually Buster and myself is a challenge both us are nervous. Buster has separation anxiety and I have it too. But Gem was calm and worked through both of our issues like a champ. I was very impressed and Buster ended up loving his Auntie Gem and we will be reaching out to her in the future if she will have us. 😉😄😄😄Thank you so much for all you did for us Gem. You were amazing!! ~Rachel Drew and Buster

Gem was amazing with our two dogs during our vacation. She always updates and is flexible as well. I will definitely be keeping her in mind for future needs.

Gem was everything we hoped for and more in a dog sitter! She was extremely attentive to our pup’s needs and very communicative with us while we were away. The pictures/updates she sent regularly helped us feel at ease. We absolutely look forward to booking her again!
