I'm Gemma & I've been Dog walking since 2016. I'm fully insured, DBS checked & first aid trained Plus I was really bad at it!

I provide Dog walks with extra mental enrichment, pet visits (for any pet) and pet sitting in the comfort of your own home. Here's a little bit more about myself & my journey...

My name’s Gemma and I’m a Dogoholic! My journey started back when I was at college, I studied at Brooksby Melton College where I completed a National Diploma followed by a Foundation Degree, both in Animal Management. Ori

ginally I wanted to work in a zoo but found that to get a job you needed tons of experience which you couldn’t get without a job or doing it voluntarily. So after finishing uni I tried to find ANY job in the animal industry but was struggling to find anything. I eventually settled in retail, I spent 4/5 years working in a truckstop and worked my way up to assistant manager, a position I immediately regretted accepting! I missed seeing the regulars, I hated being stuck in an office & missed doing all the dirty work. It was then that I expressed an interest in Dog walking to a friend who pointed me in the direction of Lou’s Pet Services who I joined in 2016. Lou then went on to have 2 little girls and decided to take a break from her business, giving me the opportunity to take on some of her clients. I was terrified, running my own business was never something I wanted, I was worried I wouldn’t be good at it. But I loved my job and didn’t want to risk losing it so I took the plunge, created Purrfect Gems in 2018 and haven’t looked back since! I’ve now been going solo for 3 years and love getting to know the Dog’s and their individual quirks, I’m always learning something new and now want to use this knowledge to better my services and provide more than just a bog standard walk round the park.

Dougie refuses to give the frisbee directly to me, he just dumps it in random places for me to collect. Much like most delivery drivers! 😂

I've now been Dog walking for 8 years!
7 on my own which is crazy, it was never something I wanted or thought I could do but I took the plunge when the opportunity came.
I'm so lucky and grateful to anyone that has supported me over these years.

Special shout outs to Bella, Star, Pip, Charlie & Coco who I've known since the very beginning back when I worked for Lou and are still with me! (And of course their pawrents who have trusted me all this time)
I must be doing something right 🐶💜
