Loving Care for Kids & Pets, Anytime You Need!

Hi there! 👋 My name is Jem, and I’m a reliable and caring sitter with a passion for helping families and their little ones—whether they have two legs or four! 🐾👶

Pet Sitting & Dog Walking: I love animals of all kinds and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

Babysitting: With a kind and patient personality, I create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for kids. From helping with homework to playing games and keeping routines, I aim to make your child feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your loved ones, and I pride myself on being dependable, responsible, and easy to communicate with.

I’d love the chance to meet your family (furry or human!) and help make your life a little easier. 💛
