Pet care experience
Hello and welcome to my profile :) I have been house/petsitting for a number of owners and have lots of experience caring for homes and animals. I'm able to offer short or long term sits, or walk dogs and drop-in and care for animals. I grew-up with animals; cats, labrador, guinea pig, rabbit and chickens. I have also done lots of volunteering work through the WWOOF (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) network, working with dairy cows, sheep, goats and horses. I have organised and spent time in strangers houses many times through the 'wwoofing', 'couchsurfing' and housesitting communities. When it comes to housesitting I tend to do this solo, I have a partner who sometimes joins for the odd weekend and he absolutely adores animals and will be sure to make a fuss of them! FYI For HouseSitting I can travel to the radius shown, however for drop-in visits or walks, at present this covers a five mile radius of Crowborough, East Sussex. (I have a DBS Certificate.)
Reviews
Jemima was absolutely amazing, she took incredible care of our little dachshund for seven weeks. He was very sad to see her go. We had the best experience having her to stay and would not hesitate to welcome her back again or to highly recommend her to others.
Jemima was a wonderful sitter. It was lovely to meet her and her mum for an hour before we set off, we instantly could feel how considerate and kind they were. Dotty was quick to sit on their laps before we had even left the house! We received beautiful photos of the cats while we were away and they were extremely content and happy when we returned home - almost as if they hadn't even noticed we had gone! The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we got home and Jemima had kindly pick our tomatoes and put them in the fridge for us.
Jemima was a wonderful sitter. Her attention and care for our pets could not have been better. She made toys for the kitten and noticed a problem with her eye, and took her to the vet. She was thoughtful and most helpful and a joy to have in our home. Hope to have her back soon!
Jemima was a wonderful house sitter! She arrived on time, kept in touch throughout - even posting us videos of the dogs enjoying their walks. The house was immaculate on our return. She also dealt with a couple of hiccups in the house brilliantly (a leak in the kitchen and the fire alarm beeping - things that only happen if you go away!) I highly recommend her. Thank you Jemima, we hope you'll come back one day :-)

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am unable to care for pets at my home but comfortable and vigilant in other people's homes. For housesitting I am happy to stay at owners homes for short or long term. I can care for pets at any point throughout the day by spending time with them and being fun and loving - adjusting to each pets preference and character. I can play, train and walk pets and be a calm and affectionate presence in their day.
Information Jemima D. would like to know about your pet
I am used to giving medication and have cared for pets post surgery. Please let me know of any difficult or aggressive behaviour so that I can guage what environments the pet is best suited to.
A typical day
I enjoy giving affection, playing games and at present I can walk dogs for as long as needed. I am seeking work as a graphic designer so at some point walks will be around working hours but I can of course let them in and out of the house as and when needed.
Services
Jemima can watch in your home
Availability
I can pop by to walk dogs or visit pets as I don't have a fixed routine at present. When it comes to housesitting I would mainly be at the house, working and popping out to do errands or meet with friends/family.
