About Gemma
My name is Gemma. I live in Cockatoo with my husband and two little boys. I have always had dogs, and feel like a home just isn't a home without one.
We have two rescue Jack Russells, one of whom has complex medical needs. So, I've had plenty of practice applying ointments, administering eye drops, and giving tablets etc.
I have no official experience pet sitting, but have cared for family and friends dogs while they are away. I've also had our dogs cared for by pet sitters while we've been away and understand what a difference it can make to feel confident in your sitter. It seems like this service is especially helpful for dogs who don't do well in kennels and I respect that your pet will need to feel nurtured and cared for. Plenty of pats and cuddles, or games if fetch, will put your pups mind at ease while you're away.
I am currently on unpaid maternity leave and setting up my freelance illustration business. I have decided to start pet sitting to bring in a little extra money while I'm working from home and building my business.
I am happy to do house visits and walks. However, as I have two small children, I am not able to have pets stay at our house. Please let me know if you're interested in my services.
