Extremely reliable cat sitter in the Portobello area

Gemma is a great cat sitter and is our go to when we are away. She has sat Luna a couple of times now and will definitely use in the future

Gemma did a great job looking after our cat Johnny. She kept us informed with photos and videos everyday, communication was great and Johnny really liked her.

We would highly recommend Gemma.

We have had Gemma look after our cat Guinness several times now. She is very reliable and organised. And Guinness clearly loves her! We get a photo/video every day which is very reassuring. We always come home to a happy well fed cat!

Our third time having Gemma sit for Sir Paws while we’re away. Reliable updates and photos and a happy cat 🙂

Gemma did a fantastic job taking care of Merlin and friends. She's a reliable and professional pet sitter that I would recommend to anyone.

It was my first time having Gemma cat sit for us over the weekend and she was great. She popped in for a quick introductory visit ahead of time to learn about our older cats feeding needs and she was very reliable/communicative while we were away! I would definitely recommend Gemma as a sitter to others :)

We’ll definitely be bringing Gemma back to cat-sit. Xx

Gemma has become our regular catsitter. She took care of Cleo again last week and sent us daily updates and videos. We came back to a happy cat. Highly recommended.

As usual, fantastic pet-sitting from Gemma for my cat, my fish and my frogs. She's a wonder.

Second time I have used Gemma and again she has been brilliant-wouldn’t want to use anyone else now! A relief to know my temperamental cat is being well looked after and actually really likes Gemma! Thanks again Gemma from both myself and Pris 😊

Gemma was brilliant as always, excellent communication before the booking and lots of updates on our two kittens.

Thanks so much Gemma, great service as always and a happy little cat on our return.

Gemma was an excellent cat sitter. She was very good at communicating and sent regular updates about the kittens. Would thoroughly recommend!

I was anxious to leave our cat for 3 weeks but I shouldn't have worried. Gemma took great care of Cleo and sent daily updates and photos/videos. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic service from Gemma. Reliable, trustworthy and great with our cat. Can't recommend highly enough and will be back for more bookings.

We were really impressed with Gemma, great communication before the cat sitting and we really appreciated the updates during the visits. Thanks very much

We are so impressed with the way that Gemma has cared for our cats while we were away. She kept us updated on their well-being every day. She made friends with the shy one, which is hard. She gave them Al fresco meals and some much needed fresh air. Everything left really tidy. Litter trays all done so we didn’t need yo think about that. Brilliant

We are regulars with Gemma and always come home to happy content kitties.

Another happy cat and cat owner… A last minute trip and cat care was easily arranged with Gemma, again. Always confident that Winnie will be well taken care off… Thanks Gemma

Gemma looked after my cat Olive beautifully, kept her safe and amused and had good communication with me. A pleasure as always. Thanks again Gemma.

Communicative, reliable and brilliant with our cat!

Returned to a very contented cat. Gemma sent regular updates and my cat Olive is very happy with her. She also kept an eye on my plants, which was really appreciated. Great service!

Thanks as ever to Gemma! We always return to a happy cat and can leave knowing Maui’s in a safe pair of hands. Gemma’s great at communicating, and we appreciate the daily updates and pictures. Wouldn’t leave our furball with anyone else. Very much recommend!

Gemma is super reliable and our cat Guinness always looks happy and well fed when we get home. She sends us lovely photos and videos of him each day which is very reassuring. She clearly loves cats!

Gemma always looks after our cat when we're away. She's extremely reliable. Our cat is always delighted to see her.

Gemma is so good at keeping me updated on how Arthas is doing. He also clearly loves her visits as she spends time playing with him, and barely bats an eye when we get back as he’s had such a nice time with her!!

Gemma did an astonishing job, as usual, not only in taking care of my precious ball of fur, but also with the fish and frogs.

Excellent sitter and genuinely nice person. Took care of Luna very well and would book again

Gemma is a wonderful cat sitter. She kept a close eye on Arthas who was injured just a few hours before we left for a few days holiday. She was great at keeping an eye on his wound and letting us know how he was doing while we were away and putting our minds at rest. Would not hesitate to recommend Gemma! Xx

Gemma is really reliable and lets us know each day that our cat Guinness is happy, she takes great photos! She also makes a huge fuss of him which he loves. He always looks contented and relaxed when we come home. It’s lovely to be able to go away knowing that Gemma will take such good care of him.

Gemma was absolutely brilliant! Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.

Gemma kept in touch during the time she was looking after my cat Olive. She communicated really well and I returned to a happy cat. Thanks Gemma!

Gemma was brilliant . We recently moved to Edinburgh and were nervous about finding a new cat sitter . However, very lucky to find Gemma . She did a great job and kept us updated with pictures and messages .

Another booking with Gemma and a very happy cat... so much so Winnie wasn't really that pleased to see us!

Gemma looked after our cat again over the February school holiday. She sent updates everyday and we could relax knowing Cleo was well cared for.

Gemma looked after Olive with great care and kept me updated on her during my holiday. Her help means I don't need to worry about my pet so I can have a stress-free break. Came home to a contented cat.

Reliable as always. Came back to content kitties with lots of video updates when we were away.

Gemma did such a wonderful job checking in on our cat Midgie. and kept us uptodate regularly with photos and videos. It was clear that Midgie was getting on fine and really enjoyed Gemma's company. We'd have no hesitation in using Gemma's services again or recommending her to others. Thank you so much Gemma X

Gemma looked after our cat for 10 days over the Christmas holiday. She sent daily updates with photos or videos. She also took out our wheelie bin even though I had forgotten to ask. Highly recommend.

Gemma went above and beyond to make sure that Manny was happy and well cared while we were away - even giving him special treats on Christmas day! Messages were replied to quickly, we got pictures and videos each day, bins were taken out, and the place was left looking absolutely immaculate. Very reliable - would have no hesitation booking again!

Would highly recommend Gemma. On initial visit to see the kitties she asked all the right questions, even things I forgot to mention. Regular pics/videos and updates were sent duration of the sitting. Quickly responded to any messages sent. I felt really comfortable leaving the cats with Gemma and will definitely be booking again when needed.

Gemma did a great job, took really good care of our cats, with daily updates including pics / videos. It was extra special that she got our cats Christmas presents!! And can't stress enough how amazing it was to come home and find the house so clean, thank you again Gemma!

Gilbert had a lovely Christmas with Gemma and enjoyed his present.

Gemma was so friendly, helpful and communicative, sent us pics and videos every day, and we returned to 3 very happy cats! I would heartily recommend using Gemma as your cat sitter

Gemma kept us informed the whole time with photos and videos and was a really thoughtful sitter who obviously wanted to engage with our cats and make them happy. Everything was left clean and tidy for our return and the boys obviously enjoyed her visits. Would definitely book again.

I never worry when I leave my Tilly with Gemma, she is very trustworthy, reliable and gives the best updates 😊 highly recommend!

Fab as always, Rocky and Snarf are big fans 🥰

This is the second time that Gemma has looked after Archie. I love that she sends a little video of him after each visit. It gives me great peace of mind to see that he seems happy. I will definitely ask Gemma to look after Archie again!

Gemma offered an extremely reliable service, quick to reply to texts and very punctual with updates and visits, which was very reassuring as we were first time cat sitting customers. We got a video and photos and could see how comfortable our wee boy was around her. Everything she used for him she cleaned, and we came home to a happy little cat.

Gemma was great with our cat Guinness, she looked after him extremely well and gave him lots of fuss and attention which he loved! She sends a video or photo every day which is also lovely and very reassuring.

Delighted that Gemma was able to look after my cat Olive again. She makes sure I know Olive is being well cared for while I am away and is extremely helpful and kind. Thanks again Gemma!

Gilbert had a great time with Gemma again. He gets on really well with her and was very relaxed when we got home. Excellent communications as always and we really appreciate all the photos and videos.

It was great that Gemma was able to look after Winnie again, I receive videos of Winnie and can see how much Winnie enjoys the visits. I will definitely be booking again, thanks Gemma.

My second time with Gemma and, as before, fantastic care.

Gemma was great with our kitties. They were very comfortable with her and we got lots of updates - Gemma was also proactive when one of them seemed a bit anxious about us being away and did not want to eat, which we managed to resolve :) Thank you!

Gemma was great, my cat is happy. Gemma also agreed to visit for 2 more days as my flight back was delayed and picked up extra food I ordered - very reliable and helpful.

Gemma has looked after Gilbert many times, and it's reassuring to know he's in safe hands.

Gemma was great-my normally very timid and volatile cat loved her! She was very thorough and the whole process was very reassuring and relaxed. She even loaned me her timed feeder so my cat could have a meal when she wasn’t there which was fab! Very satisfied customer and kitty!

Gemma has been really great with Winnie. Excellent communication and regular pictures and videos. I came home to a happy and content cat! I will definitely be booking Gemma for Winnie again in the future…

Gemma is brilliant and super professional as always! Thanks so much for taking good care of Trixie

Gemma bonded straight away with Pandora, and they both seemed at ease with each other. She kept us updated with photos and videos while we were away, and it looked like Pandora was very settled on her lap. Thank you Gemma for taking care of Pandora and for looking after our house.

Gemma was really good at keeping in touch with me so I knew my cat was being well cared for. I returned to a happy cat! Many thanks!

Delighted that we had Gemma to look after Archie while we were away for 2 nights! When she came to meet him, he seemed really quickly at ease with her. Everything went so smoothly, and she sent us pictures and videos to show us how he was getting on. Would 100% recommend her. Thank you, Gemma!

Gemma looked after our cat Cleo for 2 weeks. She sent us updates, photos or videos everyday. I was reassured that Cleo was well cared for and we came back to a happy cat. I have already booked Gemma again when we are away in August.

Another successful visit with Gemma. She spotted a couple of pee incidents straight away and removed the throws for washing. Lots of lovely photos and videos. Came back to chilled cats again. Recommend 👍

Gemma was absolutely lovely with the cats and sent us daily photos and videos. I was really happy that the cats were relaxed and very well cared for.

Gemma looked after Hendrix for us and was wonderful. She kept us up to date on how he was doing through photos and messages, and even popped in for an extra visit one day when he seemed unwell to put our minds at ease. Hendrix seemed very relaxed when we got home and we wouldn't hesitate to use Gemma as a catsitter again ☺️

I highly recommend Gemma - she's attentive, reliable, and goes the extra needed to win over my cats, and get meds into the one who needs it. Will happily book her again.

Gemma came recommended by another sitter on this site, when I needed someone urgently to pick up while I was away dealing with a family crisis. I wholeheartedly uphold that recommendation - nothing was too much trouble: she stepped in at very short notice, and continued when I needed to extend my stay. I'll happily book her again!

Gemma is lovely and took great care of my cat Mimi. She sent updates with photos every day and Mimi loved her! I would highly recommend.

Always happy to leave Maui with Gemma when we got away. We can relax knowing she’s being well looked after - thank you Gemma!

This is the third time that Gemma has looked after Olive. Gemma is great in that she provides a lovely daily update and we are confident that Olive is well looked after when we are away. Gemma also took in our milk for us as I forgot to cancel!

Gemma looked after Penny again when I was away for work. Always come home to a happy cat and get lots of updates when I’m away to let me know how she’s doing. Also great to have someone check in on my flat (turn off lights left on, pick up mail etc). Already booked Gemma again for the summer holiday.

Gemma did such a wonderful job looking after our cat Guinness. She was reliable, reassuring and sent us lovely updates. He was a bit under the weather when we went away, and she sent us pictures to show that he was eating ok which gave us complete peace of mind. Thoroughly recommend!

We highly recommend Gemma! She was wonderful with our cat (who can be a wee B, especially with new people) and yet he absolutely loved her company. She played with him & kept in regular contact with us with photos & updates. Gemma also made sure the house was cool for the cat & even watered our garden when it turned out to be a heatwave! Superstar!

Gemma was excellent looking after our cat, especially when he was a bit poorly. She kept a good eye on him and we were reassured with her updates!

Came back to super chilled catties. Daily pics and videos when we were away. Happy to be rebooking for the summer 👍

Always trust Gemma to look after our little one. Reliable, good communication and a happy cat!

Gemma is an absolute pro. Came home to a very happy cat! Great communication and care - I’d absolutely recommend!

Once again Gemma did a super job of looking after Penny for us. Came home to a content and well fed kitten. Gemma kept us updated with lots of lovely photos and videos while we were away.

Gemma did an excellent job of looking after Kami, she was able to help us out at short notice and even swap some visits around while we were away. Kami is noticeably more relaxed compared to the times she's been to the cattery. We're very fortunate to have a reliable catsitter nearby and it has removed the stress of organising trips! Thanks Gemma ❤

Delighted to have found Gemma to care for my two Ragdoll kittens. She attended 2 x per day to feed, empty litter, play & open/close curtains. She went above & beyond to ensure not only my cats were well cared for but also my home. Great communication: daily updates, photos & videos. 100% recommend Gemma & I would have no hesitation rebooking.

I highly recommend Gemma if you need a cat sitter. We left our slightly nervous kitten Penny with her and she won her over in no time. They are now best pals. Gemma sent regular updates of penny when we were away and was super quick to respond to messages. We will definitely leave Penny with her again.

This was the 2nd time that Gemma looked after Olive when we were away. Really appreciated the daily updates and would not hesitate to employ again, one less worry to know our cat was being looked after!

Gemma is a great cat sitter, she kept me up to date with photos and videos! Frankie was well looked after and very chilled when we came home. Would definitely recommend.

Gemma was brilliant with Roux, as always!

Gemma took excellent care of Cleo and sent us updates and videos after each visit which was much appreciated.

Gemma is a delight to meet and has given Tilly her daily dose of cuddles while I was away for the Christmas holidays. I came home to a happy and relax kitty, highly recommend! 😊

Gemma looked after our cat over Christmas and was brilliant, easy to communicate with and very friendly. She sent us daily updates and photos and even left a little festive photo of our cat to greet us when we got home! Would recommend, we would definitely book with Gemma again. Thanks 🙂

Gemma took great care of our little man Tadhg and of our flat while we were away for Christmas. We hate leaving him but we came back to a relaxed and happy cat and a clean flat. She even gave Tadhg special Christmas treats 😃 Gemma responded quickly to any messages we sent and we will book her again! Thanks Gemma.

Gemma was excellent looking after Roux over the Christmas period. She sent regular updates and even gave him some presents on Christmas Day which was appreciated as we really missed him! Gemma also left a nice little memento photo of Roux for us. Thanks, Gemma!

Gemma did a wonderful job of looking after our kitty and made her feel extra special on Christmas Day with lots of treats! We were so grateful to have the peace of mind, leaving her in good hands over the holidays.

Gemma has been great with Roux, as always!

This was the third time Gemma looked after Gilbert, and she's already booked in for a fourth! It's great being able to get away knowing that Gemma will take excellent care of Gilbert. We really appreciate the daily photos and videos of him. Thanks!

Gemma, as before, was ansolutely brilliant. Spent time with my cat and sent me regular photos and videos of her. Would definitely recommend and will 100% ask her again to look after my wee cat again. Thank you Gemma, you are the best 😊xx

Gemma looked after our cat Hugo and it allowed us to enjoy our short break in the knowledge that Gemma was there for him.

Thank you again Gemma! Quick replies and lots of updates while we were away. Very happy cat on our return!

Gemma is always great with our cat Roux! He probably likes her more than us now!

Super service! Gemma is highly professional and I enjoyed the daily updates which helped to put my mind at rest. Will contact Gemma again next time we are away.

Reliable catsitter and excellent communications. Gemma sent daily photos and videos of my cat. I returned home to a happy and relaxed cat.

I chose Gemma because she conveniently lives in my area and based on her very good reviews. And I didn't regret it. She took a fantastic care of my cat Merlin, regularly sending updates and pictures. I will definitely ask her to look after my cat next time in the future. And will recommend her to anyone looking for someone serious and caring.

Thank you Gemma for taking such good care of Hobo and your understanding of his problems, also the extra tasks you carried out. The daily photos and updates were most welcome and re-assuring, We have no hesitation in highly recommending your services,

Bob & Brenda Bishop,

Gemma was very trustworthy, relatable and obviously enjoyed spending time with my cats. We came home to chilled out kitties and everything was fresh and clean.

Gemma was fab with our little Maui. We got lots of updates and pictures and have come back to a very happy little cat. Will use again. Thank you Gemma!

Can't recommend Gemma highly enough She looked after our boys really well and sent us regular updates. Our usually very anti social cat was a big fan!!

Gemma was fantastic, she took great care of my two bengals. My boys took to her well and seemed perfectly content when I got home. Thanks so much Gemma!

Second time having Gemma look after our cat, Roux, and she made the whole process so easy. He has been recently diagnosed with diabetes and Gemma took the time to research and learn how to give him his insulin injections and managed to do this with absolutely no issue. Gemma also sent regular updates which was very much appreciated!

Gemma looked after our cat while we were away from a week. Gemma gave us regular photo and video updates and kept our minds at ease. Would highly recommend.

Gemma was wonderful with our cat Munchie. It was our first time leaving her & were very worried/sad leaving her. Gemma sent regular updates and photos and we returned to a very happy cat. She was really easy to communicate with, would be happy to reccommend

I felt very comfortable going away knowing that Gemma was looking after my cat, Roux. She provided regular updates and I came home to a very happy cat! Would definitely ask Gemma to look after Roux again!

Gemma was great, very easy to communicate with and kept in touch throughout. She seemed to establish a rapport with my cat Olive and we came home to a calm and happy cat. Gemma was also flexible and worked round our arrangements. Would be happy to recommend her as a pet sitter.

Gemma is a great sitter, who looked after my animals so well, that they were barely affected by my absence at all ( previous trips always ended up with them very upset at me being away). Gizmo, in particular, can be a difficult cat, but seemed to like Gemma! She also sent me daily updates and tidied up any mess my cats made - all very appreciated! Will definitely hire Gemma again and recommend her to other cat owners in the area :)

Gemma was wonderful Ollie took to her right away and I got pictures from gemma. I will use Gemma again as she knows what to do.

Albie loves seeing Gemma!

Thanks again to Gemma for not only looking after Albie but also taking in my parcels!! 😀

Gemma did a great job of looking after my cats 😀 thanks Gemma!

Gemma was bar far the best cat sitter I could have hoped for. She kept in touch with me while I was away and regularly sent me photos/videos of my cat. I would highly recommend her 😊

Gemma was a great at keeping me updated with messages & photos while I was away. I came home to a very content Albie! This is both a thanks & a recommendation.
