Jemima can care for
Availability
I'm currently a full-time master's student, and don't currently have other part-time work, but I will communicate if that changes in the future. I do have evening classes that are online except for one. Otherwise, I'm available to spend time with your fur babies.

About Jemima A.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like sitting in your pet's own home when that's an option. It just tends to be less stressful for them than a strange new place. Every pet's a little different, so I'm not going in with a fixed routine; I'd rather figure out what actually works for your dog or cat and stick to that. If your pet needs meds, has a quirk, or gets nervous easily, that's not a dealbreaker for me, if anything, tell me more, because I want to get it right.
Information Jemima A. would like to know about your pet
Before a first booking, I always like to meet up first, a walk, a hangout, whatever makes sense, so we can both make sure it's a good fit. I want you to walk me through anything important: meds, triggers, habits, favorite toys, games, the works. The fundamentals of any kind of care is adjusting to the individual's needs/preferences, so I'm here to learn how your pet does things, not show up acting like I already know best.
A typical day
Depends on the pet! For dogs, usually a good walk, maybe some fetch or tug, and downtime after. I enjoy walking and exploring neighborhoods and parks, bonus points if there's a dog park! For cats, it's a lot more chill: food, a clean litter box, and playtime if they're feeling social (no judgment if they're not). If your pet's on a schedule for meds or has specific needs, that's built into the visit, not an afterthought.

Extra love for extra needs
Pet care experience
Honestly, I don't think I've gone more than a few months of my life without a pet around. I grew up with dogs and have since lived with and looked after dobermans, beagles, doodles, pointers, and pitbulls, amongst others, so a big, strong, or stubborn dog doesn't throw me off, and neither does a nervous first-timer. I've also lived with cats for years, so I speak fluent "aloof but secretly obsessed with you." Along the way I've picked up a lot of the extra care stuff almost by accident: giving meds on a schedule, handling a dog with leash reactivity, sticking to a strict routine for an anxious pet, being patient with a senior pet who needs a little more help getting around. I'm not saying I've seen it all, but I've seen a lot, and I actually enjoy the pets who need a bit more thought and attention. They're usually the most rewarding ones to work with.
Reviews
Jemima is so kind, warm, and gentle. She loves to play and spend time with fur friends of all kinds! She is a huge cuddle-bunny and will go above and beyond for any pet under her care.
