If you’ve ever said “it’s just a dog/cat/horse etc.”, then this probably isn’t the place for you! We believe all animals are More Than Human and deserve to be treated as such. We know that all animals are sentient (have positive and negative feelings) and are unique individuals with individual likes and dislikes. We are passionate about getting to know your animals and ensuring they are treated to the best quality care.
More Than Human (formerly Gem’s Pets) is a pet sitting business started by Gemma Sheppard in 2023. We provide welfare focused animal care services in Warminster and the surrounding villages. We don’t just look after dogs and cats, we have also covered horses, pigs, goats, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, even alpacas! Get in touch today for a quote, we are happy to consider any species.
We are 2 humans and one dog who are passionate about animal welfare and education. We strive to ensure the best care for your More Than Human animals while you are busy, at work or on holiday. Each and every animal we encounter becomes part of the pack and is treated like our own.
