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.
Reviews
Beyond thrilled to have Jemma as a sitter for Drama. This was a last minute trip and I felt so comfortable knowing that Drama would be taken care of. We liked her immediately from the moment of the initial meet and greet. And loved her by the end of the sit. As soon as Jemma walked into our place, Drama immediately ran to her stuffies and brought Jemma her ‘Benito Bunny’ (her fave) so she could play with her new friend. That alone was a great feeling. Drama usually has male sitters (she’s a Daddy’s girl) but I felt that she was more at ease with Jemma. We also felt like Drama loved her “sleepover” because in all the pictures and videos she looked happy and relaxed along with being playful. Drama is a bit of a trickster and will try to get her way with sitters by telling them ‘her rules. It was cute to have Jemma recognize her trick during walks. We don’t like to push our sitters for communication but we do like to know what our dog is doing and Jemma’s communication was perfect! I’m a very anxious pet mom but during this sit I did not feel any anxiety or worry. Along with taking wonderful care of Drama Jemma also took care of some of the dishes and unloaded our dishwasher. We will definitely hire Jemma again and know that Drama will be perfectly fine having a girls’s sleepover party.
Jemma's amazing. Dogs love having her drop by and spending time with her.
Dogs love Jemma!
Reliable - great communicator. Thank you!!!

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.

I'm taking some time off my full time job, and I'm looking to fill some of that time caring for pets! I'd be happy to find some "regulars" as well as one-timers.
