Safety, trust & environment

We have two lovely tomcats as part of our family, who are very safely and lovingly cared for. I'm very reliable and caring and will ensure your pet if looked after safely and lovingly.

Information Gemma G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or assistance. I'm currently undertaking a pet first aid course to go alongside my adult first aid training. And I'm aware of anxieties and nervousness that some pets can suffer with and how to calmly deal with them.

A typical day

I am very active and love nothing more than a walk or run in the park. Whatever the weather I love being outwards and love being able to share the experience! My days are spent caring for many different pets within the local area (as well as my two children!) and the time I share with them is immeasurable. I feel very lucky to share my day spending time with your lovely pets in any way that can help.

Pet care experience

Having worked as a pharmacist for 20 years within the NHS, I've now had a change of career to care for animals. This includes both volunteering at shelters and petsitting animals in my local area. I have a kind, calm nature and love to care for all pets, big and small. I understand the difficulties and worries in leaving your pets and will do my up most to care for them as if they are my own. As a family we have had cats, dogs, gerbils, rabbits, goldfish and hamsters (to name a few) and have looked after many more. It would be my pleasure to look after your lovely pet and give you the reassurance of knowing they're well looked after whilst you can't be with them.

Gemma is an amazing cat sitter. Our cats loved her. She was very responsive and adaptive to our needs which also included a last minute date change. I hope we all (cats included) can work with her again 😸

Gemma was amazing. She took great care of our cats and was so thoughtful in her communication with me. We couldn't be any happier with her service.

We were delighted to have Gemma as our sitter. She did everything to make sure Jasmine was happy & well looked after. She sent lovely pics & messages every day. Which meant we could relax without worrying about Jazzy. On our return she was looking healthy, well fed & happy. Would use Gemma again, in a 💓 beat. Thanks again Gemma!! xoxo

Gemma was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Great communication throughout the whole experience and lovely update messages with pictures. Gemma felt super reliable and put us at ease immediately! Our shy girl Tito warmed to Gemma immediately and was super content on our arrival home. 10/10! Thank you Gemma!
