About Jemma

Growing up with cats & dogs since I was young has taught me how privileged we are as humans to have our furry friends in our lives. 

Having two cats of my own (Olive & Elton), I have used Pawshake to find sitters for my own pets. My cats are like my children, and therefore I understand how valuable it is to find a cat/dog sitter who has a warm presence, communicates often, sends pictures whilst you're away, and gives our pets lots of patience and cuddles. 

As your pet sitter, you can feel assured that your furry children will be in the best care. I am confident with the care of kittens, cats, puppies & dogs - having grown up with them my entire life. My work schedule is flexible, which means I will be able to accommodate specific feeding times for your animals, and even work from your house if you would like me to spend more time with them. 

I have spent a lot of time around timid cats and dogs. I understand our pets often need patience from their new carers to allow them to warm up in their own time. I am happy to discuss any concerns you may have around your pet feeling uncertain/anxious of a stranger in their home, and develop a plan if this puts your mind at ease.

I am also happy to accommodate your pet if they require oral medications. 

Services I offer: 

  • Cat & Dog visits: 1, 2 or more per day. 
  • Dog walking - 30 minutes per walk
  • Animal day care - please note, this will be at the animals home - not my own. Day care over 6 hours needs to be booked as a pet sitting stay
  • Pet Sitting (Overnight)
  • Emergency Vet Trips (if required)
  • If an overnight stay is arranged, I am more than happy to water any plants, collect mail and/or deliveries you may have. I will keep your home clean and tidy, ready for you to arrive back after your trip away. As I am a guest at your home, please ensure it is tidy upon my arrival. This includes clean bench tops and surfaces, a clean bathroom including shower, toilets, and clean linens ☺️ Thank you.

    Please note: I am fully vaccinated, and can wear a mask in your home if requested.

    Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, or would like to introduce your pets.

    Thanks, 

    Jemma ☺️

    Jemma was fantastic. My elderly Spoodle absolutely loves her. Great communication and very easy. Highly recommended!

    Jemma was great at looking after our cat while we were away. Very professional and great communication. Went the extra mile to find Wallie when she had wondered to the neighbours for a night. Happy to have found someone reliable to help with Wallie in the future!
