I currently work as a carer looking after elderly people and study study psychology in my spare time. My schedule does fluctuate and can be busy however I often go on walks along the beach and various other places to switch off so we can discuss a time that works for both of us and alternatively if any home care services are needed. I am a committed, reliable sitter and would love to do regular visits each week with your dog if this something you are needing, a community of doggies that I visit each week, having an impact on them having the best life full of joy is one of my dreams! I am also avaliable to dog sit from my home if needed 🙂

Pet care experience

Dogs always have this zest for life that is almost unmatched, radiating joy and love wherever they step. I don’t have any training experience at this time but if your dog is well behaved and just needs some extra love and care while you are away I might be a good match for you. I can’t promise your dog won’t put on a few pounds because tasty doggy treats will always be on the menu in my company, with your consent of course 😉!

Thank you, Gemma, for perfect care of Daisy while I was away. It was incredibly easy to arrange the day with you and instructions were followed perfectly. It’s clear you’re a natural with dogs as Daisy loved you from the second you arrived! Thank you again, and we hope to see you soon! ⭐️

Gemma was fantastic! We had a video call to discuss her visit ahead of time. She asked lots of thoughtful questions and she was really communicative in the build up to her visit and during the time she was at our house. I arrived back to find perfectly content dogs and it was clear from the photo updates Gemma sent that they’d had a lovely time. Highly recommended and I’ll be reaching out to Gemma in future for any dog sitting needs.

Gemma was really friendly and amazing with my dogs! She stayed at my house which was left exactly the same way. Will definitely use again

Gemma was great with my dog! I found her very approachable and was lovely to deal with. She made sure she had all the information she needed to make sure my girlie was happy in her care. Gemma made sure to do some research before taking her out on where was best to walk and also took into consideration whether my dog was good with others. She took great care in making sure my dog was happy with her before taking her out and has a very calming nature. I would definitely recommend!
