Caring, Reliable AnimLover for Stress-Free Sitting

I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, giving medication, and of course, providing plenty of love and attention. What sets me apart is the mix of reliability and genuine care I bring to every booking. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you never have to wonder how things are going at home. My goal is simple: to give your dog the same love, structure, and care they’re used to — so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

Jess has had another Lovely stay with Gemma. I don’t think she could have been made to feel any more at home or part of the family. Thanks again!

Gemma has looked after my dog Arthur numerous times, he loves going to Gemm's and always comes home tired from playing and the country walks she takes him on. I would strongly recommend Gemma as she is kind and always has the dogs best intrest at heart.

Gemma has been looking after my Milo for several years now. Milo enjoys it so much he never wants to leave! Could not recommend enough.

Schedule

I currently work from home, which means I can be very flexible with pet care. I’m able to adapt my day around feeding times, walks, play, and any extra attention your dog may need. Because I’m at home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and can enjoy plenty of company and care throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

At home, pets will be welcomed into a safe, dog-friendly environment. I have two friendly dogs who love company, as well as a secure garden where they can play and explore safely. I always make sure introductions are calm and positive so everyone feels comfortable. When I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their routines and surroundings, keeping things just as you would. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times, walk schedules, or simply being there for companionship, I make sure pets feel secure and cared for in a familiar space. My priority is always creating a safe, happy environment where dogs can relax and owners can have peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of fresh air and fun! We usually go on three walks a day — giving your dog the chance to stretch their legs, explore, and enjoy some sniffing adventures. In between, there’s playtime in the garden or indoors with toys, plus lots of company and attention so they never feel lonely. When it’s time to wind down, we’ll enjoy some quiet time together — whether that’s cuddles, a comfy nap, or just relaxing side by side. Every day is tailored to your dog’s routine and personality, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, play, and comfort.

It’s really helpful for me to know a little about your dog’s routine and personality before we get started. Things like their feeding schedule, how they are on walks, if they have any quirks or special needs, and what they love most (and least!). The more I know, the easier it is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and settled — just like they would with you.
