Empathetic and attentive dog lover!
Pet care experience
I've been dog sitting for friends and family for years and I also spent several months as a paid dog walker in Washington, DC. I have experience with all kinds of dog personalities, from high anxiety and high energy, to chill on the couch and sleep-all-day kinds of doggos.
Reviews
Our dog is kind of shy, but he liked Gem immediately (so did we), and she took great care of him and our home while we were away all day. She was very responsive in setting up and during the appointment.We'll definitely call on Gem from now on when we need house and dog sitting. We're so happy to have found her!
Gem took great care of our dogs while we were on a 4 day vacation, ensuring they were well-cuddled for the duration of the stay.
Gem did awesome with my dog Oscar. She kept us updated with photos and messages. Super professional and I would book her again in a heartbeat.
Gem was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and house. She provided great updates each day. We would definitely use her again.
About Gem L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am attentive to your dog's needs and I am generally able to sense when they're feeling stressed. The more you can tell about what your dog likes, the better I'll be able to assess what they need if they're feeling anxious.
Information Gem L. would like to know about your pet
Beyond their general schedule, t's important to know what commands your dog knows, what their favorite treats are, if there is any behavioral training that you're working on, and what their favorite walking routes are.
A typical day
I love to start the day with a walk! I also enjoy giving dogs treat puzzles (sometimes, I make them with materials around the house, like shipping boxes), playing tug with toys, playing fetch, and getting lots of pets and snuggles, if they're the snuggly type.
