Pet care experience

College student & pet lover

Hi! I’m Gemma, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, house sitting, and growing up with dogs of my own. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active, so whether your dog loves long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with different routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with a friend rather than just being watched. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention on walks and around other animals. I always leave your home clean and tidy, provide regular photo updates, and communicate promptly so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, caring hands.

We recently had Gemma stay with our 5 yo lab for a couple of days. Not only did she take great care of Macie, but she also left our home clean and neat! Would not hesitate to have her care for Macie again in the future!

Gemma is an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly patient with our nervous dog. She kept excellent care of our dog and home for over a week. Would highly recommend Gemma!

Gemma really took good care of our senior dog. She went above and beyond and took good care of our apartment as well. I enjoyed the banana bread she made for us. I would definitely recommend Gemma and appreciate everything she did for us.

Schedule

Pet care is something I intentionally schedule my week around. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent care and stick closely to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, medications, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Gemma can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before the stay, I’d love to know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any quirks or behaviors I should be aware of. Please let me know if they’re reactive, have any fears or anxieties, are escape artists, or have any medical concerns. The more I know beforehand, the better I can keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
