Jemma

Hi, I’m Jemma, a 31-year-old New Zealander currently living in Paris.

I’ve spent the last three years living and working in the UK as a Senior Policy Advisor for the UK and Welsh Governments. I loved living there and being so close to Europe, which inspired me to spend more time travelling. I’ve decided to base myself in France for a while to learn the language, experience a new culture, and meet people from different backgrounds.

I grew up with dogs and am very comfortable caring for them, and I’ve also spent plenty of time looking after friends’ and family members’ cats. I’m not in a position to have a pet of my own while travelling, so I really value the opportunity to spend time with animals and care for them as part of my day-to-day life.

I'm a big walker, a keen cook, and a lover of a gripping TV series or podcast. Getting out in nature is really important to me, so I would love to take dogs out for walks if they are capable, but I would equally love to cuddle up with a cat on the sofa. I also love to read, explore art galleries, and find the best local cafes wherever I travel.

I’m tidy, respectful, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable and at ease.

External reviews:
I am a TrustedHousesitter and have also informally housesit for friends and family. Please see below for their reviews.

Francesca (5 star rating) - Jemma looked after our home and whippet and was the perfect companion and guest! We got home to a spectacularly tidy home (going as far as to wash the sheets for us) and communicating with Jemma while we were away was so easy (we really appreciated the daily photos!). I would unreservedly recommend Jemma as a housesitter to anyone that wants a reliable, mature, and friendly companion for your pet.

Hannah (5 star rating) - I have been a close friend of Jemma’s for over a decade and I have worked with her in the past too. I would describe her as a highly reliable, diligent, and kind person who is known for her sound judgement and incredible work ethic. She has looked after my cats and home in the past with the utmost care and consideration. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter.

Libby (5 star rating) - Jemma was absolutely fantastic while looking after my poodle and two cats. From start to finish, her communication was incredibly great! she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my pets and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Everything went smoothly, and I came home to relaxed, well-cared-for animals and a tidy home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend Jemma to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
