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.

Information Gemma P. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their personality and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, enrichment games, relaxing at home, or plenty of cuddle time, I’m happy to follow their routine. My goal is to keep your pet active, comfortable, and happy while maintaining the schedule they’re used to.

Pet care experience

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!

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.
