Pet care experience

Passionate, playful, pet lover

I have been around cats, dogs and many other animals for all of my life. From raising kittens to caring for a family dog to riding horses, I have always had a love of animals of all sizes. Playing sports at an elite level and working at my family’s business has taught me so much about commitment, responsibility, and hard work. I believe these are all important characteristics that will serve me well in any pet sitting opportunity. I have been caring for pets professionally for about 8 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Being able to interact with many different animals and personalities is one of the best and most rewarding parts of this job. I look forward to meeting and looking after your furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I have years of experience walking dogs and caring for them. I always keep an eye on them and for possible triggers in their environment. I’m always careful to clean up and keep everything as you would have it in your home.

Gemma was incredibly friendly, dependable, and excellent at keeping in touch with me. Each visit she took tons of pictures, and it was easy to see that my kitty was completely at ease and well taken care of. I would not hesitate to book her again, and I'm sure my kitty agrees with me!

Gemma did an outstanding job in caring for our cat while we were out of town. She was prompt, professional and took time to make sure our cat was cared for. We will definitely be using Gemma again on our next trip.

Super sweet and Kingston LOVED her! She walked my 7 month old mastiff puppy for me while I was at work and he was napping when I got home! She wore him out so he didn’t get into stuff at home and even sent some of the cutest pictures of him! They found plastic flamingos somewhere in my neighborhood that I hadn’t seen and she grabbed a picture of him checking it out! 10/10

I have experience with most breeds but I always look forward to meeting the new ones! If your dog has any special needs I’d be happy to accommodate, I will just need to be shown the ropes beforehand.
