About Me
Local, 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 recently 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.

ExeterGemma did a truly amazing job of looking after our elderly cat Sampson, she sent photos and videos daily so we could see how happy he was, it was the first time we had left him on his own for a week but we needn’t have worried - Gemma is such a natural! We will definitely be asking for her services the next time we go away! Thank you Gemma

ExeterGemma was amazing, really focussed and thorough when doing the visit before cat sitting started. She set up a group chat to update us on our cats whilst we were away as well. 10/10 reccomend.

ExeterGemma was amazing and gave us peace of mind while we took an overnight trip. This was our first time using a cat sitter, and Gemma was very thoughtful and thorough when she came to meet our kitten, asking questions about her habits and such. It was great to receive pictures of our cat as well! We fully recommend Gemma.

ExeterGemma was an excellent cat sitter, our cat can be quite spooked by new people but he immediately seemed very comfortable around Gemma. She provided regular updates with photos throughout her visits and we felt very comfortable leaving Bronson in her hands! Will definitely use her services again and recommend her to others 🙂

EXETERGemma was lovely and friendly. It the first time I have used a cat sitter and was nervous about leaving my fur babies especially as Alice is quite shy and nervous girl. Gemma sent me updates everyday and she was friendly and got on with Alice and Max. I would use Gemma again for my cat sitting needs as shes reliable and I can trust her. Thanks

ExeterGemma was fantastic! She's friendly, flexible, and very organised, so you know you are leaving your beloved pet in good hands. She clearly loves cats and Ruby felt really comfortable with her. It was great to have a photo and an update every day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gemma and will definitely ask her to look after Ruby again.

ExeterI was very nervous of leaving my four furry friends but Gemma looked after them as if they were her own. Medication was given to a senior cat. All were fed, played with and cuddled. She sent regular pictures and updates which put my mind at rest. All cats were happy and relaxed on my return. Would use her again and would highly recommend!

ExeterGemma expertly cared for my cat at home. She fed him and changed his litter tray regularly. She left everything clean. I was pleased to receive a daily update about how my cat was doing, including photos. Most importantly, my cat seemed happy when I got home! Gemma will be my first choice cat sitter going forward and I would recommend her to anyone

ExeterGemma did a great job of looking after our cat - visited in advance to make sure she knew all the requirements, kept in touch via text and messages so we knew when she'd visited, and even refilled our bird feeders! Excellent service all round - many thanks!

ExeterCame back from a 10 day trip to a completely pampered cat. She’s had lots to say, and Im guessing most of it is about how Gemma brushes her fur better than I do 😸

ExeterI have no hesitation in recommending Gemma to anyone who needs an attentive sitter. She dealt with my three furry weirdos and all their (and their owners!) idiosyncracies perfectly, including some less than welcome incidents (nothing too traumatic, but I'll still spare you the details) over a 12 day holiday. On top of that she's basically lovely. Brilliant.
