Pet care experience

Calm, loving & reliable home.

I’ve had dogs for many years and have plenty of experience caring for different personalities, sizes and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets over the years, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe and loving environment for them. I’m patient, attentive and responsible, and I understand how important routines, affection and supervision are for a dog’s well-being. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pet receives personalized care and attention during their stay.

Gemma is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. She has a natural connection with animals and treats every pet with so much love, patience, and attention. Any pet parent would feel comfortable knowing their furry family member is in such kind and reliable hands. I have a dog named Yoko who absolutely loves Gemma and her family. Whenever I travel, I always leave him with her because I know he’ll be in the best hands, receiving so much love, care, and attention. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing he’s safe and happy with her. Beyond that, Gemma is simply a wonderful person, beautiful inside and out, sensitive, fun, passionate, and incredibly warm. She brings such positive energy wherever she goes. Her joyful personality and caring nature make people and pets naturally feel comfortable around her. She’s dependable, thoughtful, attentive to details, and truly enjoys spending time with animals, not just as a responsibility, but because she genuinely loves them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and genuinely wonderful pet caregiver.

I loved how kind and caring Gemma was with my dog. I have a large Golden Retriever, and she was extremely patient and loving with him. My dog felt completely at home with her. She also has a beautiful backyard with plenty of shade and space for dogs to play and relax. I highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy pet caregiver.

Gemma took care of my dog Bruno for a week; she shared daily photos of him always happy. He can’t wait to go back. Gemma’s house is very clean and welcoming. Deicy

Could not have asked for a better sitter. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while I was away. Reliable, kind, and communicative, highly recommend! Thank you Gemma!

I absolutely love leaving my dog with Gemma because I know he is always in the best hands. She is incredibly kind, caring, and truly loves dogs. Her home is spacious and comfortable, and the backyard is absolutely amazing, perfect for dogs to run around and enjoy themselves freely. Every time I need someone to take care of my dog, I never hesitate for a second to leave him with her. I always feel completely at peace knowing he is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Schedule

My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and enjoy maintaining a calm and structured environment with regular walks, playtime and rest. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so I can focus on each pet individually and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I provide a clean, calm and secure home environment and always supervise interactions carefully. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks and any special instructions from the owner. I prefer caring for well-behaved adult dogs and only accept a small number of pets at a time to ensure personalized attention and a low-stress environment for everyone.
