Pet care experience

Future Vet & Animal Lover

Hi! My name is Gemma, and I am currently a student at Texas A&M University majoring in Ecology and Conservation Biology with a concentration in Zoology. I plan to attend vet school and become a conservation veterinarian in the future. I have had cats my entire life and have experience caring for dogs as well, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I also volunteer with local animal organizations including LAPS and Paws and Claws, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals of different personalities and needs. I truly love animals and would be so excited to care for your fur babies like they are my own!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite routines, because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets are happy and stress-free. I also keep spaces clean, secure, and calm, and I treat every pet like they are my own.

Gemma took great care of Kitty, our cat while we travelled. She faces us detailed reports of her well-being and was dutiful in her arrival times and checking in. Would definitely recommend her.

Gemma took great care of our cat Kitty and we were able to coordinate with her in person even when I made a request a bit last minute. Communication was easy and prompt. I would recommend her!

Schedule

During the summer, I have lots of free time and flexibility for pet care. I am currently taking one class through Texas A&M University and participating in research with my professor studying how temperatures affect summer wood ducklings. My schedule is very flexible, and I will always communicate clearly with clients about my availability to make sure their pets receive reliable and attentive care.
