About Me

Your Furry Godmother is here, please drop me a message with any queries you may have 😻

Hello, my name is Gail and I have had cats as pets all my life. I couldn't imagine a life without my kitties. I currently have two rescue cats Louie and Reggie. They were very nervous at first but they are very happy now and have recovered well :) I understand cats and they can sense that with me so usually come over to say hello quickly. I'm a very friendly chilled out person so give time to the cats so they can get to know me at their own pace. I would never let anyone down so you can head off on your holidays knowing your furries are in safe hands. I can give medication as well as cuddles and strokies. I have also now learnt how to give injections should the need be required. I always allow a minimum of 30 mins per visit (sometimes longer if the kitty needs more loving) so I can provide company as well as feeds and de-pooping (cleaning litter trays). In peak times or if the cats head outside on the prowl I may leave a bit earlier but only if everything has been done. I will always offer to pop and meet you and your kitties before you have to book to allay any concerns you may have and to put your mind at ease. I find it helps also for the cats to see me with the owners as it helps to build trust between us. I tend not to charge any more than the shown rate for multiple cats unless you have a houseful and I might need to rethink 😊 I can obtain a reference if you need one but please also see my reviews :). Any questions at all please just ask.

Services included when you book me to care for your kitties are:-

• I will always stay for a minimum of 30 minutes - longer if I have time • I ensure they are given the correct food and quantity when they need it • Administer any medication with as little fuss as possible • Clean and replenish litter trays • Playtime with their favourite toys • Strokes and a lap to sit on if needed • I tidy up after myself and the kitties • Can feed fish, small animals • Water plants • Put out bins on the required days • Send regular updates with photo's via whatsapp • Bring in post and parcels

I would ask to have a think about the following prior to me meeting you and your kitties

How would you like your litter trays done? How you want your kitties fed? (Portion sizes etc) What toys your kitties like to play with? Which doors do you want keeping open or closed? Will you need post brought in, bins out, plants watered? Do you want me to alternate lights on overnight etc? Do you want visit, daily, every few days or weekly updates or only in emergencies? Where do you want any rubbish putting? Which vets are you registered with and do you have a carrier at hand? (Just in case) Are they indoor/outdoor? Do they need locking in at night? Are they on medication? How are they with it?

Just to give some examples. Please also feel free to let me know about anything else. I am more than happy with instructions to be left or I can take notes when I meet you.

No pressure to book after free meet and greet 😻

Many thanks Gail

    Gail was absolutely amazing from first meeting her, she spent time getting to know my cats their quirky ways and needs before even starting the visits. I felt instantly relaxed knowing they would have Gail to look after them. I recieved lots of pics,messages they loved the new toy from Gail, would absolutely 100% recommend Gail she's a total star.

    Gail was amazing with my 2 and they felt so comfortable with her. Gail arranged a pre visit before the booking to meet my kittens and ask about routine etc. I had daily updates and photos whilst I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. Will definately used Gail again 😁

    We couldn't be more delighted with the service we got from Gail. Kept us updated with daily photos, and our cats clearly loved having her visit them. We will definitely use her, the next time we go away. As for a 5 star rating, she deserves a 10.

    Really happy with the service we received. Great communication and most importantly we came home to two happy and settled cats. Will be using Gail again when we go away.

    Gail has a lovely, soft cooing voice. She came to meet us before the sitting, we really warmed to her and the cat (who is really timid) even stayed in the room! Most unlike her. Gail was reliable, communicated well and we came home to a really relaxed cat.

    Would highly recommend Gail as a cat sitter, she has looked after our two several times now. Excellent communication and lots of pictures so we know they are ok. They are so much happier on our return than when we have put them in a cattery.

    Gail was fabulous! She is a pleasant young woman who is experienced, and loves, cats. Gail was courteous, friendly and efficient and organised. She kept us informed of any issues. Our cats loved her. We were lucky to find her.

    Gail gave us confidence on first meeting. She is professional, competent and best of all is as mad for cats as we are. Hattie was happy & comfortable when we came home and we could see that she was well cared for (pictures and comments were great too!).

    Gail looked after my cat Tabby for a month and did a fantastic job. Excellent communication, and Tabby was clearly happy with her replacement human. I would use Gail again without hesitation, and can’t recommend her too highly.

    Gail looked after Tinkerbell well and sent us pictures for every visit. I’d happily book her again and recommend her.

    Once again Gail looked after our Pebbles as if she was one of her own. She kept us updated everyday with pictures (even though Pebz was doing her best to hide) And the best part was hearing & seeing that eventually our fur baby came out of hiding and had many cuddles and strokes with Gail and was purring very loudly so we were told!

    Gail was absolutely brilliant stepping in at the last minute to help us. She came round to see us before we went away and we were really reassured by her. She sent us updates while we were away and it’s the first time we have come home and our cats have been completely chilled. Definitely recommend Gail! She’s great!

    Just got back from a week away and although Pebz hid herself away every time Gail visited we still got updates sent to us and even a couple of pictures (one of her eye, one of her bum lol) . We would highly recommend Gail to anyone who needs someone to check on their fur babies 100%. We will be asking her to look after Pebz again in the future.

    Gail is a fantastic cat sitter! Yogi was very well looked after and we came back to a very happy cat. Gail was kind enough to spend time to play with him on the visits which I really appreciated as he’s used to a lot of attention. I got lots of pics and updates which meant I could relax on my holiday. Yogi will be booking Gail again! 🄰

    Gail was absolutely brilliant! Super reliable, friendly and flexible. She did not mind going the extra mile and watering/emptying a bin etc. Gail kept in touch throughout our holiday, sending little photos and nice updates. She spent time calling our cat Luna on a day she was nowhere to be seen and sent us updates. She genuinely seemed to care. We will rebook with Gail without hesitation- thank you Gail x

    Gail is a great sitter. She made sure that she saw shrimp every time she came and took a photo of her to send me even though my cat is timid. She popped round twice before and followed my instructions. I would definitely recommend her 😻

    Gail's been looking after Williams for years now and this was her third time sitting for him this year. He's always been really comfortable with her and that's so important for me. She's just got a way with him because he never sits on anyone else lap but mine...except for Gail! She always sends updates and pics and this time I needed her to finish a course of medication for him which she did no problems.

    No hesitation in recommending Gail, your cat will be in excellent hands with her :-)

    Gail was fantastic looking after my cats over Christmas ! My cats are normally very nervous around people they don’t know, but they took to Gail straight away so I could go away at Christmas with confidence. We came home to very happy chilled kitties - will definitely be booking Gail again !

    Gail was an excellent sitter and I would recommend her highly. On my return, Blake was calm and happy and my house was very tidy... despite Blake's battle with some toilet roll! Gail sent me photos and lovely updates while I was away and returned the keys promptly when I got back. Thanks Gail!

    Gail is simply fantastic! We have never left our fur-babies with a sitter before, and when we returned they were so happy, settled and content. Auntie Gail, as she will now be known, sent us photos of them on each visit and it was so reassuring to see them so happy, playing and receiving lots of strokes. Auntie Gail will always be our go to when we are away!

    Gail was fantastic, we came home to two very happy kitties. Whilst we were away one of our cats was poorly, Gail communicated everything to us, took photos and was even willing to take a sample to the vets for us. It was reassuring to know they were being kept such a close eye on. We will definitely be booking with her again!

    Gail was fantastic and we will definitely be using her again. She was very communicative sending pictures of our boy Otto every time she visited. We felt relaxed leaving him in her care and she even made sure she kept the keys until she was sure we were back home, in case anything happened. Thank you so much Gail!

    Gail did a great job with a challenging situation - a new 7 month old kitten as well as an older cat. That meant the care instructions were a little complicated. They are still separated while they’re introduced. The cats took to Gail’s calm manner right away. She kept me updated and I was reassured that both cats were in the hands of a kind and experienced catsitter.

  • 21 Jun 21

    Rachael M

    Brilliant cat sitter! I came home to a very calm, happy cat. This was no mean feat - my cat is a newly rescued cat so he is very nervous and doesn’t take to people easily. He took to Gail very quickly and she really looked after him, spending time to play with him and give him a bit of company. She also kept me updated throughout my holiday with pictures which was a huge relief. Will definitely ask Gail again.

    Gail looked after Molly brilliantly. She put our mind at rest and as Molly had been unwell the week before she adapted to the extra meds on top of her injection with no problem. Photo update was really appreciated. Highly recommended!

    Gail took great care of Tiki as usual. We have used Gail quite a few times now and always happy with her looking after him. She will update you every day on her visit to let you know how the cat is and always makes it easy to collect house keys and drop off etc . Gail is always first choice to looking after our cat . Thank you .

    Gail was so lovely 😊 Our furries were well looked after and we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday. Gail sent photos and kept us up to date on how our cats were. Gail also kindly watered my garden as it was so hot. Next time we go away we won’t hesitate to contact Gail

    Gail is a great cat feeder. She is reliable, conscientious and very caring. My cat liked her and she managed her slightly complicated medication regime over Christmas with no problems. She also sent me lots of photos and let me know how my cat was doing.

    Gail was an outstanding Cat Sitter. First time we have used this service, so a little nervous at first leaving our elderly girls in the care of an unknown person. Those anxieties were soon erased! Gail was charming and lovely and our girls took an instant shine to her when they met her. Gail offered to keep in touch as much or as little as we wanted whilst we were away. She responded within minutes to any text message. But most of all, Gail went well over and above what was expected by clearing up toilet accidents and lots of sick! She medicated both cats throughout the 10 days. We came home to an immaculate home the way we left it, and we would definitely call on Gail's help again the next time we go away. We can not thank her enough for her outstanding service. Thank you Gail, from 2 happy owners and 2 even happier OAP's!

    This my third time booking Gail and as with the previous two occasions everything was great. I didn't even get the cold shoulder from Williams when I got home which I think is a clear sign he was happy being looked after by Gail! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

    I was a bit reluctant to using this website due to allowing someone you haven’t met before into your home and to look after your pet. Gail was quick and efficient at responding. She came to meet me straight away to introduce herself and meet my cat Tiki before I confirmed the booking. Whilst I was away she texted me on each visit and sent pictures. I would highly recommend Gail :) thank you.

    This was our second time using Gail and another great experience. Sadly a close family member passed away and we were having a very difficult time making all the arrangements. The dates we would be away kept changing but Gail was really flexible. She kept in touch once the booking was confirmed and sent reassuring updates which meant it was one less thing for us to worry about. We’d certainly go to Gail as our first choice to look after our boy.

    This was my first time using the site and it was a very positive experience. Gail stayed in touch before and throughout the booking and was able to come over and meet me and my cat in person which I really appreciated. He was fast asleep when I got home, clearly very well cared for. Wouldn’t hestitate to book Gail or use the site again in the future.

    This is the second time Gail has looked after Smoke and I picked her for a reason. He is a nervy rescue cat who also has to have a pill a day. Gail let me know he was ok, played with him and spent time with him. He was very happy and chilled when I got back. Brilliant!

    Gail was fantastic. The extra care she took with my nervy rescue cat was fantastic. She made sure he had his pill, spent time playing with him and even bought extra toys. She also sent photos and msgs to put my mind at rest. That was great as it was my first time not using a cattery. Smokey was much more calm and relaxed when I got back. Thank you Gail!
