About Me

Cat and house sitting in Salisbury

Hi, I'm Gemma, 29 years old and a big lover of all animals. I recently moved to Salisbury from London

I have previously studied two courses in animal nursing and welfare and animal psychology, and also completed an animal first aid course. Alongside this I have taken care of cats (alongside babysitting jobs) since the age of 16.

A few years back my partner and I were lucky enough to adopt the sweetest 18 year old cat called Peggy Sue. There was not much interest in her, so rather than go for a younger cat, I wanted to give her the best retirement possible. The rehoming vets team warned us that we would be lucky to get 6 months with her. We got 4 wonderfully happy years. Peggy passed away peacefully in November 2022, so I would love to be able to give your cats the same love and care I was able to give to my little Peggy.

We have since adopted a gorgeous little cat called Mishka. She is sassy as anything, full of character and I am totally besotted! So I certainly feel comfortable around the more grumpy cats as well as the super affectionate ones!

I have also always been around animals since I was a child, having dogs and guinea pigs from the age of 6.

I'm very comfortable around all types of cat, active and playful or a sweet lap cat! I have experience with the smallest kittens to my own 21 year old cat, so you know your cats will be safe with me!

I have my own car, and am happy to do day visits as well as overnight stays.

I hope to hear from you soon!

    Gemma was everything we hoped for! Communication was brilliant, we were sent videos and pictures of Buddy, showing how at ease he was with her, as well as an update after each visit. We got home to a very happy, chilled out cat! Gemma went above and beyond, we are very grateful to have found her 😊

    Gemma has been great with our elderly cat whilst we were away. We came back to a very chilled and relaxed cat, and clearly he had been very well looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend Gemma.

    Gemma was fantastic for the 2 weeks she looked after Dylan. She was very patient with his peculiarities, and her messages and photos were brilliant. We felt very reassured with her looking after him- could not recommend more.

    Gemma was a brilliant sitter, my usually anxious cat was very relaxed and happy when I got home. He'd been very well looked after and Gemma was great at sending updates

    Gemma is the ideal cat sitter- we felt very reassured and happy to leave our cat Dylan with her. She is super prompt with replying to messages and a pleasure to communicate with. 100% plan on booking Gemma to come round again in the future.

    Gemma is by far the best cat sitter! I've used her a few times and she always does a great job looking after my "Mina". Gemma is super reliable and always provides regular updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

    This is the second time Gemma has taken care of my cat Paddy. All went well on the first occasion and it looks like Paddy was calm and relaxed being in Gemma's care the second time. This gives me peace of mind as my cat is quite nervous and it is reassuring to be able to go away and know all will be well. Many thanks Gemma.

    This was my first time using the services of a cat sitter from Cat-in-a-flat. My cat Paddy is quite a nervous and jumpy girl and Gemma Q our sitter paid us a visit so she could get to know Paddy a bit. I came home to a relaxed and contented cat which was great. Many thanks Gemma, Philip W Salisbury

    Gemma was fantastic. She was happy to come and meet my cats before she was due to look after them which I really appreciated. She was comfortable giving one of my cats medication and was understanding of rescue cats that may need a little more extra care! She sent me daily updates with photos. I would definitely trust Gemma to look after them again

    We cannot recommend Gemma enough; she visited Gizmo beforehand and sent us daily updates while we were away. She clearly loves cats and understood how to care for a shy girl. Definitely put us at ease leaving her and we came home to a very happy relaxed cat. Thanks Gemma!

    Gemma was an excellent, attentive cat sitter that our lovely cat took to immediately! I got frequent messages, photos and videos whilst I was away and can’t recommend her enough to anyone who needs a cat sitter! Thank you Gemma!
