Meet & Greets during Visiting Hours (I take your cat’s care regime notes and collect key etc) I can also come back to you in hospital after my visit to drop off anything you need such as an overnight bag (pj’s, phone charger, medication etc). Ideal for short notice Helpful if family or friends are busy Offering Cat Visits, Overnight sitting, Pet Taxi. Happy to collect your cat from your home and drop off to family member, Cattery, Vet appointments etc. Cat Grooming: I carry out my cat grooming In the comfort of to your home as an extra added during your cat's visit, day/overnight cat sitting, enrichment visits and cat walking visit. Currently offering: De-Shedding (brushing) and Nail Clipping - £40 - £60 De-Shedding only - £35 - £55 Nail Clipping only - £15 De-Shedding includes brushing your cats dead fur out, a cleanse wipe of your cats eyes, nose and ears, hygiene trim. I also like to use de-tangling spray and dry shampoo powder. Bigger Breeds will charged slightly more. Shaving mats out isn't something I usually offer as I'd like more experience but I can try this by shaving your cat if your cat allows and can stay still enough. This will cost extra too depending on how much needs removing. Please message me for a quote. Sessions are around 30mins long but this may vary depending on your cats coat and their temperament during the session etc. This also dictates the price. Pricing is worked out after the service. Set up and tidying up after myself isn't included in the 30mins. I also offer grooming at my home if needed. You can drop your cat off to me or I can pick up and drop off back to yours once I've completed the groom. I like to use Pet Remedy Calming spray, treats, catnip/silverine leaf, blankets, toys and lots of fuss and attention and often use the assistance of my Team Member Dayton to help hold your cat. It's important to make this an enjoyable experience for them. All grooming is done with the cats well-being always as a priority. We go at the cats pace and the service is carried out on a case by case basis. A booking form is given to the client to fill in and email back to me before the service. Cat Walking: £14 for a 30min walk Using your vats harness and lead I put on your cats harness and attach their lead, making sure it's all fully secure. We then go outside to explore, sniff, stretch their legs, climb trees, have a toilet break, chasing insets and leaves, practice stalking prey, desensitization to outside noises, enjoying the sunshine etc. Happy to use treats to positively reinforce behaviours wanted for training and make the experience and enjoyable one. Such as making the harness putting on process a calm positive one. Happy to use the 30mins to also clean litter trays and give food and water but this will eat into the 30min walk time. I can bring my own cat collar with Apple Air Tag with me to put on your cat as an extra safety measure. If in the unlikely event that your cat does escape it's lead/harness then my phone can track where your cat is so we can get them back easily. I suggest getting a cat carrier/backpack which I can put your cat in (with harness and lead on) before taking outside and then letting out of the carrier/backpack. This is just to ensure no association is made between walkies and your door so your cat won't know they can just walk out the front door. This will help prevent your cat darting out the door when not on lead and will train your cat to understand when they go out for walkies it starts with being put in a carrier and let out the carrier when outside and starting the walk. The same can be done when bringing back in from after the walk to make sure your cat doesn't learn that the door opening when you go through it is a chance to escape. It'd be an idea to use your back door or garden door so i can leave your carrier there where it won't get pinched. I'm also happy to bring my own cat rucksack if need though this will smell of my cat and might be off putting to you cat but i can wear it anyway if you don't have one. It will allow for extra safely when on our walk. Should we come across something that is distressing to your cat such as barking dogs, I can pop your baby in my rucksack carrier when they will feel safe, hidden and be secure. No chance of them wriggling out my hands and getting distressed from being exposed to the dogs, as we go in the opposite direction to the dogs. Of course I'll be walking your cat where you tell me to walk them, always being mindful and avoiding the road, cyclists, dogs, loud noises etc. If your cat doesn't like the cold weather, wind or rain I'm happy to have Dedicated Play Time and Hide & Seek Treats in your home instead. Enrichment Cat Visits (Dedicated Play, Hide & Seek Treats, Puzzles, TLC, Training, Desensitisation): £14 for 30mins. This is perfect should you work away a lot and have long hours with your cat on their own. It's a great chance to give your cat TLC, company and enrichment when you're not there. This can help with separation anxiety, tiring out your energetic kitten, socialising and expressing their natural behaviour to hunt (play/find treats). I can also use this time for training, such as teaching your cat to come when called, desensitising to the cat carrier, grooming and any anxiety to things such as loud noises. I can of course also clean their litter tray and give fresh water and food but this will eat into their dedicated play and treat finding games. Cat Canva Art Painting: £20 A cute fun Add-on to your Cat’s Pop in Visit or Day/Overnight Sitting Service. A bit of cute creative fun made by your cat as they play, get fussed, eat treats and enjoy catnip/silvervine. Your cat chooses the paint colours and using a plastic bag to cover the paint covered canvas they smooch the paints around with their body. I’ll send you photos and videos of your cat artist at work too. No paint gets on your cat so is completely safe. Canvas’s are a small hexagon shape. Pet Taxi: Price varies and depends of time and distance but is cheaper than your standard Taxi and Uber Service. Driving you and your cat, or just your cat to and from, picking up and dropping off, where you need such as: the groomers, vets, cattery, rehoming centre, cat show, moving house, staying with friends or family etc in and around Lincolnshire. I take notes and relay any information given to me so you're fully informed. I also collect and drop off cat medication, food, litter etc. Ideal if you don't have access to transport, are home bound, too busy, have an emergency, are unable yourself etc. Purrsonal Delivery: Delivering all your cat's essential items straight to your door. No need to order them yourself I'll do that for you and include a mystery surprise toy and treat! Providing ‘pick & choose’ tailored to your cat: essential, extras, mystery items and themed cat present. Delivered by myself to your door, consumables needed for your cat’s everyday care, one offs, monthly and one off options. You decide what you want and leave the the rest to me. Flexible to change and alter the items you require at any time. Pricing is based on what you would like and this can differ per every delivery. Including items such as specific food, litter, prescription medication, toys, treats, refills, batteries and more. Fill out my detailed Questionnaire I send you and I'll get you a quote. Price depends on what items are orders, time and fuel. Ideal if you want all your cats needs delivered in one package, no getting caught short running out of their things, enjoy a little surprise treat and toy for your furbaby you know they'll love. Saves you time and stress knowing your cats items are sourced by a knowledgeable cat professional sourcing just what your looking for within your budget. All services where I come to you are charged 40p per mile outside of a 5 mile radius of my home: LN58QS.

Reviews


great. Daily photos help us feel happy and know our kittens were happy.
Gem has been taking care of my cats for two years and I wouldn’t ever ask anyone else now! Gem is attentive and kind, sending videos and photos of your cats twice a day (or however many visits you need) so you can have peace of mind while away. Gem goes above and beyond, always taking the time to brush and play with your cats for every visit, and also very experienced with administering any medication your cat requires. Gem also makes sure your home is safe and secure with every visit.
Gemma looked after my cats while I was away, and I can honestly say I don’t think I could have chosen anyone better. Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but from the very beginning she gave me complete confidence that they were in safe, loving, and genuinely caring hands. She has such a natural warmth and compassion with animals, it’s not something you can fake, and it showed in how relaxed and content they were. She went above and beyond in every sense: dependable, thoughtful, and wonderfully communicative, always keeping me reassured and updated. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine kindness, and Gemma does it effortlessly. She’s trustworthy, attentive, and just an all-round exceptional human being. I’m deeply grateful for the love and care she gave my cats, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets as if they were her own, Gemma is truly special. ⭐ ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️
