Pet care experience

Loving your pets while you're gone.

I love playing with active animals who like wrestling and physical activity, or just sitting together for company. I have had pets for most of my life, including puppies less than a year old, and currently have an 11 year old husky with arthritis, giving me a breadth of experience with dogs of various breeds, sizes, and ages. I also have plenty of experience taking care of animals for family, friends, and neighbors since middle school.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable providing whatever environment your pet is most comfortable with, whether they're very active and enjoy wrestling, prefer just quietly being around someone and getting some pets, or anything in-between. I also have plenty of experience handling larger dogs that pull hard at the leash while on a walk, and can stay comfortably in control, keeping them safe.

Gemma took excellent care of my three dogs while I was gone for five days. She came as she said she would and even did extra, like bringing in packages and cleaning up accidents. I will definitely use Gemma again!

Gemma was absolutely wonderful with my two beagle mixes! I’m super picky about who I trust to watch my dogs, but she was wonderful from the get-go and immediately made me feel comfortable choosing her. My two definitely know how to get themselves into trouble, but she handled them so well and kept everything under control during her drop in visits. She was always timely, incredibly sweet, accommodating, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well taken care of. I especially appreciated how detailed her visit updates were. She always let me know exactly what my dogs were up to and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she was spending quality time with them and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in her care. I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter and I would rebook her in a heartbeat the next time I’m in town!

Gemma is an amazing pet sitter. She watched our cat and dog when we went out of town and we knew our fur babies were safe and happy. Gemma would be a wonderful asset to Rover and anyone who hires Genma.

I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. She is compassionate, caring and dependable. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. I felt my cat was happy, safe and well cared for.
