Safety, trust & environment

If you are training you're dog I will be able to help reinforce the training and continue to teach them what you are whilst you are away using what ever reward your dog enjoys whether that is a treat, a toy, or even a pet. I can also enjoy playing with your dog with their toys, or a ball. I will ensure that your pet is supervised at all times when outside or in public areas. Whilst staying at owners houses I will treat it with respect and ensure it remains clean and tidy.

Information Gemma M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behaviours beforehand, as well as likes and a bit about them. I would also like to know if there is anything you do with them you would like me to specifically do as well. I also need to know if there are things I should avoid. I would need to know if they are okay with other dogs when in public, if they are allowed off lead in secure areas.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs, especially with some enrichment whether that just means walking them in different spots for new smells or playing with them.

Gemma M. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Animal Lover, Zoology Student

Pet care experience

I studyed Zoology at University, and have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management with D*D*D* which had numerous modules including animal handling, and husbandry. I also have a Dog Walker Qualification at Level 2 Merit, this course included Canine First Aid, Canine Aggression and Canine Body Language. I have always loved animals and have always been asked by neighbours and friends to look after their pets whilst away, feed them when they are out, and walk them when they are busy.
