Pet care experience

Hi, I'm a real animal person I currently dog sit for a labradoodle and have done this for the past 5 years I also look after my mums dog as well as fostering greyhounds. So I'm very experienced with different breeds and sizes of dogs. I live in a town house will a enclosed back garden with secure 6ft fences all the way around. I am near large areas of fields and also a nature reserve within a 5 min walk. All dogs would be walked 3 times a day and can come in and out of the garden as they please. I have a canine first aid certificate as well as doing lots of training with IMDT and Karen Pryor training courses. I’m fully licensed

Gemma has been very hands on with Chollo and she went above and beyond to make sure that Chollo will be secured and will feel comfortable in their home while we were away. Chollo did have a great time… he was crying when we’re driving away when we picked him up!😬

We needed a last minute sitter, had an amazing experience with Gemma for my 6 years old Labrador. He came back smiling, I definitely recommend Gemna for any sitting needs, and will definitely come back if I ever need a sitter in the future ❤️. Gemma went above and beyond to accommodate my requirements, pick up and drop off, extending the stay due to the last minute issues. Providing timely updates, getting treats for my boy, I just cannot thank Gemma and family enough, they have been absolutely wonderful.

Gemma and her family went above and beyond expectations while caring for Egon. We really appreciated their help when our original sitter had to cancel at short notice and, even when they had an emergency of their own, they still put Egon first. He came home happy and well.

Thank you so much to Gemma for taking such fabulous care of our Rupert whilst we were away on our honeymoon. Leaving him is always difficult but Gemma made it so much easier. She kept us up to date with how he was doing, with pictures and messages and reassured us that all was well. Rupert seemed to have such a wonderful time with her and her family and it meant loads to us that she seems as fond of him as we are. We would absolutely leave Ru with her again on any future holidays!
