Critter care out of your hair!

Pet care experience

I'm quite versatile and can adapt to stressful situations easily, should they arise. I have experience raising my own pets, helping raise others, and training pets. I can provide care for pets of any size, species, and age. I administer medications, provide ample playtime and exercise, and most importantly, snuggle to the heart's content (so long as your pet tolerates it). I've sat in the past for birds, lizards, dogs, cats, and fish, and I'll love your animals nearly as much as you do! I'm quite passionate about keeping spaces clean and comfortable for the pets as well, as I am quite organized and know that nobody wants to work with a disorganized sitter.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Gemma P. for the past two years, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She has provided safe, loving, and attentive care to our two cats and bearded dragon, always going above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Gemma is a fantastic communicator and she sends daily updates with photos, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. In addition to caring for our pets, she’s been incredibly helpful with household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, and taking out the garbage. She’s professional, kind, and truly dedicated to the animals she cares for. We trust her completely and feel lucky to have found her.

Safety, trust & environment

I always ensure that pets are treated as well as the humans in the household. I like to sleep and snuggle with pets, take them where I go as much as is permitted, and play with them outside as often as possible. I am not quick to force animals to spend time with me, I always let them have the choice to approach me first, but if they adjust quickly and enjoy my company, I really lay on the love.

Information Gemma P. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about any medications, the pets' temperaments, reactivity towards other dogs or people, as well as sleeping and feeding schedules. I would also like to go over any commands the pets may know, what dinner preparation looks like, and how often they need to go outside.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks or hikes with me. I also enjoy taking them to the dog park, to get a pup cup treat at a coffee stand, car rides, swimming and other adventures. Pretty much anything I would do in an adventurous day, I would bring the pet along with me. I try to get lots of play time through tug of war, fetch, and whatever activities your pets enjoy most.

Pet sitting is my full-time occupation as of right now, so I can be there for your pets whenever they need it. I do have a busy schedule, but I will always ensure that your animals come first and I can be with them as often as they need it.
