Quiet, trustworthy professional

37, Teacher

I'm a Senior Bio teacher working at a school in Brisbane CBD who has been house sitting full time since early 2018. Most of my sits are now repeat bookings with clients who are regularly away, or via word-of-mouth. I don't have my own place, instead I move sit-to-sit and this has been very successful. I've found it suits my personality/lifestyle as I enjoy the company of animals whilst doing my work, plus it has allowed me to meet some amazing people and stay in some fantastic places. Aside from travelling and attempting to stick pins in as many new places on my map as possible, I enjoy outdoor pursuits like hiking and horse riding.

I have house sat everything from dogs and cats to horses and cattle to lobsters (!) and frogs. Property wise, I have sat everything from small units to farms.

I grew up on a farm myself, with the usual mix of animals such as dogs, cats, cows, sheep and poultry. I also kept random pets throughout the years such as cockatiels and geckos. In addition, I'm a keen horse rider, agisting my own horse, so am very confident around horses.

I'm single, a non-smoker and I can provide a police check/teacher number/blue card, etc so you have peace of mind. I can also show you reviews from my airbnb account and my endorsements from previous sits so you can rest assured that your house and pets will be in good hands.

What can I say.....we have found the PERFECT house-sitter! Gemma was so friendly, funny and genuinely caring. We had no reservations about leaving our home, plants and furry friends with Gemma while we went on a mini break. Gemma provided updates daily and we could see that the kitties had clearly bonded with her! The house was immaculate and a very thoughtful card and gift had been left as well.....totally unexpected, but just testament to the awesome lady she is! Highly recommend her, ... MORE

Thank you so much Gemma for looking after my two cats so well. It was so lovely to meet you in person and we went away knowing the boys were in very good hands with you. You looked after the house and the boys so well and cleaned the house and linen which was very much appreciated. Thank you also for the very kind gift. It was totally unexpected and so thoughtful. I would highly recommend Gemma and if she ever wanted to house sit again she would be very welcome. She went out of ... MORE

Gemma was a joy to deal with. She looked after our place and our young cats brilliantly. She kept us up to date with some txt and pics. She is a very special person, putting both people and animals at ease. She is heavily booked but we would have her back in a heartbeat.
 
COLLENE (Camp Hill QLD, Aug 2022 - 1 week 5 days)
Gemma has been a fantastic sitter. She kept great care of our animals and house. We returned to a spotless house and very content animals. Her balance of communication was excellent. Never too much or not enough. We are searching for a reason to go away to get her back again. Very honest and reliable. We would thoroughly recommend Gemma to any potential hosts.
 
JAMIE (Grange QLD, Jan 2021 - 7 days)
I feel guilty for not posting this sooner as Gemma was just an amazing sitter and a beautiful human. Gemma cared for our two kitties like they were her own and when I got home they were very chilled and happy. I'm quite sure my house was cleaner when I got back than before I left! She is such a thoughtful person and kept in touch while I was away sending photos of the boys. It was a rather stressful time with my return flight being cancelled then having to go in to hotel quarantine. Fortunately ... MORE

Gemma was lovely and looked after our place beautifully. Our cat Lucy was happy and content when we returned so she must've enjoyed Gemma's company :)
 
TESS (Milton QLD, Nov 2019 - 3 days)
It was a pleasure having Gemma house sit for us. When we returned the house was nice and clean. The pets were well looked after. Gemma communicated with us very well whilst on our 6 week holiday. She kept us up to date with how the pets were doing. I would recommend Gemma to anyone who requires a reliable housesitter.
 
DOMINYC (Banyo QLD, Jul 2019 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Gemma was very easy to communicate with - kept me up to date with photos and texts on how my 2 cats were going, they were very relaxed and happy when I get back after a 2 week period. She is very personable and friendly and followed my requests re cat care. I would recommend Gemma as a pet sitter without hesitation.
 
MARY (Stones Corner QLD, Jun 2019 - 1 week 6 days)
Gemma was a fabulous housesitter, she made our time away completely stress free and everything at home was a pleasure to come back to. We can't recommend her highly enough. Luke and Lindy Muldoon

Gemma, was amazing, no issues at all. Great communication. Super clean, and we had full trust in her that she would look after the animals, to which she exceeded our expectations...

No rating We were truely blessed to have meet Gemma on this pet sitting website. From the moment we meet her for a coffee we felt at ease and she was the right person to look after our cat Patch while we were overseas. Gemma did a great job with Patch he was so well looked after and very happy with Gemma, our house was spotless upon our return from our holiday. We would happily recommend Gemma for any future pet sits she does in the future. What a lovely kind well natured lady.
BRIAN (Ashgrove QLD, Jul 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Gemma was an absolute pleasure to have as a Housesitter. Always eager to assist and so conscientious. Our cats were spoiled with affection and even our tricky pool was kept cleaner than it had been prior! Would happily trust my house to Gemma again any time!
