I'm Gemma,
I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked in the animal industry for over 14 years with all types of animals from rabbits, rats and hamsters to snakes, spiders and fish. I have spent the last 6 years specialised in aquatics and have a degree in aquatics health and welfare. I wanted to move away from the pet sales industry as my heart was not in it, I wanted to spend all my time caring for the animals but sadly more time was spent selling them. I knew a change of job was needed and when I purchased my van I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I had previously cared for people's aquariums and pets on a casual basis in the past and knew it was something I enjoyed and excelled at. Having had a large range of pets myself I know how worrying it can be when you want to go away and enjoy a holiday but have your furry (or otherwise) family at home, and my marine fish tank was always the biggest worry being so specialist in it's care needs. |
Me and my Lupine Toki.
When the opportunity came up to become involved in dog training, I was very excited to expand my knowledge. I have trained with Gwen Bailey and have become a Puppy School trainer. I run classes in Birchwood and assisting at classes in Stockton Heath. I also offer 1 to 1 training for older dogs and dogs with issues. |
- I have a wonderfully kitted out van for transporting pets and and equipment I need during visits.
- I have experience with large dogs and dogs with behaviour issues and am happy to help you work with them on any training they are doing during walks.
- My high level of expertise in aquatic care means those water changes and important tests don't have to be neglected while you enjoy your holidays.
- Given my wide experience with the care of most domestic animals if you have a few different pets in the home that need caring for I can provide for them all.
- I also have experience in reptile care (I own a 15 year old Rainbow boa) so they can be cared for at home instead of travelling to unfamiliar places which can stress them and put them off their food.
