Pet care experience
Loving, Carbon Neutral, Low Waste Cat-sitter
Hi my name is Gemma, and I am a crazy cat lady. I am a charity finance manager in Exeter city centre. I have owned three cats so far, ranging in ages from 2 years to 17 years old. I am happy to look after all cats from the independent aloof cat, to the cuddle-hungry elderly, to the rambunctious kitten. I have completed a course on Animal First Aid & CPR I'm also happy to keep an eye on any smaller pets that live with your cat (hamsters, guinea pigs etc.) I have volunteered with Refuge4Pets, and I donate regularly to Cats Protection. My cat sitting business is carbon neutral through Ecologi, and I recycle the cat food pouches used during my visits. The main areas I cover are St. Thomas, City Centre, and St. Davids. I have a friend who covers for me when I am on leave, so feel free to message me even if our dates don't exactly match up.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow the guidelines set by the pet owner. Usually cats are kept indoors whilst the owner is away, but I'm happy to follow your suggestions
Ratings and reviews
Gemma was fantastic! Gemma looked after our little cat really well whilst we were away, she sent us messages and photographs the whole time. Our cat clearly loved being looked after by her. Highly recommend Gemma!
Gemma did a great job of looking after our cat while we were on holiday, handling medicines as well as food and water, and maintaining excellent and prompt communication throughout. Very highly recommended!
Gemma was excellent, our two cats really warmed to her and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for looking after our cats with so much care.
Gemma did a wonderful job of looking after our cat over Christmas including giving him his daily medication and keeping us updated with photos and messages. Would definitely recommend her!
Gemma was an absolutely brilliant and professional cat sitter. She thought of everything, took good care of our cat, and communicated very clearly at every stage of the process. Would certainly ask her to sit again, and would recommend to others.
Gemma was lovely. We had a very thorough introduction and walk through beforehand. Throughout our weekend away, Gemma provided us with regular updates and photographs. She took the time to sit and engage with the cats too which we really appreciated and was good to see rather than just feeding and leaving.

Schedule
I have a standard day job so cat-sitting visits tend to be scheduled in the morning as I walk in to work, but I am also happy with after-work visits.
