Highlights
Pet care experience
Making up for not having my own 💗
I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, so being around dogs has always felt very natural to me. I absolutely love their different personalities, quirks and individual needs, and I’m happiest when I have a four-legged friend around. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, from Jack Russells and Sprockers through to larger dogs such as Boxers. I’ve cared for dogs from playful puppies through to older dogs who need a little more patience, care and a slower pace. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and play, as well as dogs who are happier having a quieter day with lots of cuddles and company. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines, whether that’s specific walking times, feeding arrangements, treats, playtime or simply giving them space when they need it. I’m also very aware of how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. I currently can’t have a dog of my own iwhere I live, which is one of the reasons I’ve joined Rover. I’d love to spend more time with dogs and give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles while their owners are busy or away. I work from home, although I also work a mixture of day and night shifts, so my availability varies from week to week. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can properly commit to any booking before accepting it. For me, looking after dogs isn’t just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’d love to get to know your dog, build their trust and make sure they feel comfortable, loved and looked after while they’re with me 🐾🖤
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I currently offer pet care in the pet owner’s home, so your dog can stay in their own familiar surroundings where they feel most comfortable. I’m happy to pop in for walks, feeding and playtime, or stay with them for longer periods when needed. I think keeping their usual routine as normal as possible helps them feel settled while you’re away, and I’m more than happy to follow any instructions or routines you have for them. As I work from home when I’m on day shifts, I can also spend time working from your home while keeping your dog company throughout the day
Ratings and reviews
Gemma has been a huge part of my dog Huxley’s life ever since I brought him home at 8 weeks old. He’s a boxer, so as you can imagine he’s always been very energetic, playful and sometimes abit of a handful! Gemma has always been brilliant with him and has helped me look after him throughout his life, including caring for him whilst I’ve been on holiday. Huxley absolutely adores her, he gets so excited whenever he sees her and loves playing and spending time with her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that I can leave him with Gemma and that he’ll be safe, happy and well looked after. She’s caring, patient, trustworthy and genuinely loves animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Huxley in her care and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to look after their dog.

Schedule
My shifts are usually either 7am–7pm or 7pm–7am, so my availability varies from week to week. I’m happy to come to your home and stay with your dog for the day, keeping them company in their own familiar surroundings. Depending on my shift, I can fit walks in before or after work, and on my days off I’m much more flexible and can spend the whole day with them whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company. I’ll always plan bookings around my rota so I can give your dog plenty of time, attention and care
