Can I be your dogs new best friend?

Hi, I'm Gemma! Imagine how cookie monster loves cookie... Now multiply that by 100. That is not even close to a comparison to how much I love dogs. I am one who always wants to snuggle every dog I see, however I am intuitively calm with dogs and good at understanding their body language. I am pet first aid certified with the Red Cross. I grew up with two black labs, and ended up being their primary caregiver. I also frequently dog sat for my neighbors growing up. I don't easily tire of fetch and probably enjoy walking dogs almost as much as the dogs. I am missing dogs, since I don't currently have one in my life, so I'm always up for whatever dog-related tasks you need me for. My last note; I am always respectful to the environment, meaning I will never leave behind my tracks or the dogs. Nature is my palace and I Intend on always doing my part to keep it beautiful.

Gemma was amazing with our dog Azuki. Super friendly and playful with her from the start. The house was well taken care of. She picked up after self and made herself feel at home which was great.

As always, Gemma is super awesome and my dog loves to see her. She is very considerate and really cares about your animal. Could not recommend her as a sitter enough!!

Another awesome stay with Gemma for Rudy. Gemma is awesome at communicating and the house is so clean when we get back, and I can tell my dog is truly comfortable and at ease in her care. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!

Gemma was great and helped me out very last minute. She was good with my two dogs and understood that my big dog needed time to warm up. She was patient with him and they were fast friends in no time. I will definitely use her again!

Gemma was great! She was able to accommodate a last-minute booking and was good about updating us and sending pictures. She seemed very knowledgeable about dogs, and when we came back our dog was relaxed (he is usually a little anxious with a sitter). 10/10
