Pet care experience

Trusted care for your beloved pets

I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life, growing up with dogs and cats and also caring for rabbits and guinea pigs. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience looking after a variety of animals, including friends’ and family pets. I currently run my own pet sitting and dog walking business, providing reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs.

Gemma was great! Super efficient and punctual to look after my Johnny 😺 Sent me the pictures of them having fun, set the automatic feeder and gave me such peace of mind as I finished my holiday. Highly recommend her and will invite again! 5 stars ⭐

I wholeheartedly recommend Gemma as a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I have seen her interact with numerous animals, including her own dog, my partner's dogs, and my cat. She is consistently kind, gentle, and calm with all of them, and connects with animals in a natural and effortless way. She is absolutely someone you can depend on and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with any pet.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received. From the moment Gemma and I met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands animals, which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, Gemma went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages—it made such a difference knowing they were in safe and caring hands. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, content, and clearly had been given plenty of attention and affection. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Gemma exceeded all expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!

Let me know if you're dog has any special needs or behaviours that I should know about in advance. I am experienced in senior dog care as well as puppy care. I also have experience with anxious and reactive dogs and would love to provide a safe space for these pooches.
