Ready to love on your pets!
Pet care experience
I've had both cats and dogs since I was a child, and have been integral in the training of an English springer spaniel and a Bernese mountain dog. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes, and will be sure to follow your rules and commands with your pups while simultaneously making them feel excited and loved! I have the magic touch and *really* know how to pet animals the way they like it. I'm very knowledgeable about both dog and cat behavior and body language and will be sure to respect their boundaries.

Great communicator. Dogs love her!

Jemma took such good care of our Buster Bear while we were off getting married!! I could not be more pleased with the services she provided. Jemma went above and beyond to make Buster feel comfortable, even with his leg injury. She understood what he needed and gave him extra loving! This was our first time using Rover and I must say, we were very impressed. We are looking forward to using Rover again in the future (hopefully with Jemma!) Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend even more enjoyable because we felt such at ease having you there with Buster!


Great as usual! Thank you Jemma!


Girls always love having Jemma come and visit. Thank you for always looking out for them!

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to share my references from Trusted Housesitters, AirBnB, and Couchsurfing. I am responsible and respectful to you, your home, and your pets. I respect rules and boundaries and be sure to verse myself well. As someone who opens my home to pet sitters, I know how uneasy it can feel to have strangers in your home and around your precious babies.
Information Jemma R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know which commands you utilize for behavior and praise. (“Okay,” “yes,” “off,” “walk nice” etc). Let me know if there are any sore or painful spots on their body, or any trauma triggers they may have.
A typical day
I’d love to continue training and build on or learn some tricks if they’re food motivated! I’m also a fan of dog-led walks where they get to sniff to their heart’s content and lead the way! They’ll get lots of love and massages.
Services
Jemma can watch in your home
Availability
Honestly my availability is pretty limited, but it can’t hurt to ask! I’m a flight attendant and travel a lot so I’m out of town quite often.
