Loving Flexible Pet Sitter

I have taken care of family pets, pets of colleagues and friends, with different sizes, temperaments, handicaps, and needs. I have had to dispense medication, stayed overnight, done frequent checks, and am here to fulfill your companion's needs. Just got laid off and have an open schedule. I do participate in martial arts for a couple hrs a few days a week but it is flexible and at my discretion I have a dog park membership, a big neighborhood behind my complex to walk them in, grassy area at my apartment for a quick potty break, love to take beach walks, and there are other parks and options nearby

My girl Moonpie spent 10 days with Gemma. Gemma made sure she was exercised and went to the dog park often. She had a great time! Highly recommend her!!

Gemma was very good with my elderly Italian greyhound Daphne, she sent videos and pics and checked in daily and made sure my home was properly taken care of while I was away for two weeks. I’d absolutely recommend her!

It was great to go on vacation knowing my dog was in good hands. I felt Soju was on his own vacation with frequent walks, trips to the park, and enriching socialization with her dogs. I would definitely request her services again.

Gemma took great care of Maia! Provided daily updates and Maia looked so content when I picked her up.
