Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Gemma, I live in Blean and offer dog walking services. I can walk them locally to you, take them to the beach, woods and local parks. I have basic informal training from Guide dogs with recall, on/off leash walking and positive reinforcement using treats. And many years experience with my previously owned pets (German Shephard), family pets (boxers, Staffies & Yorkshire terriers). I believe it’s really important to trust and feel reassured by those looking after your pet (as they are part of our family after all). And I am confident I can provide this and very flexible to acomodate the owners needs of reassurance including update messages/photos/videos et Look forward to hearing from you! I’m very flexible to fit in dog walks and can accommodate most days/ weekends. I enjoy daily walks locally with my daughter in a normal week and we’d love to have a companion with us :) I am very attentive, caring and diligent with a gentle approach. If your dog isn’t friendly with other dogs, I will walk them in quieter places and be extra mindful of other dogs. If you let me know what your dog likes, like catching balls, finding sticks or splashing in water. I will make sure they have the best time. I will also remind them what a good boy/ girl they are constantly with treats ready to go in my pocket.

Gemma was amazing, so caring with Cedar and very attentive to our little puppy! It was brilliant to get such thorough updates and feel that she is being taken such good care of. I cannot recommend her enough and will continue to use her regularly!

Gemma provided fantastic care for our cat while we were away. She came to your house daily for a month to no just feed Malcolm but also to provide great companionship, and of course to take care of all of his sanitary needs. Gemma always came on time, was very respectful to our home and aways followed our instructions. A few unexpected situations developed during our time away and they all been dealt with immediately and perfectly. At the end of each visit Gemma provided a detailed report and lots of pictures. We are very grateful for the service received and will happily book Gemma again.

If i could give Gemma a 10 out of 10. Big thumbs up. My Oscar had a great time. He and Gemma's daughter had a lovely time together. He was very looked after. And was treated as a family member. I will definitely use Gemma again. Gemma sent lots of pictures of his time away. He also went for some lovely walks.

Information Gemma D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, behaviours or physical ailments I should account for. I love all dogs, from galloping horse sized dogs, medium lap friendly ones and little tiny dogs.

A typical day

We love going to Swalecliffe, Whistable, Hernebay and Seasalter beaches. Exploring Blean woods. Any local parks. And we’re always keen to hear about new places that the owners recommend.
