About Me

The biggest cat lady in Carlton Hill, Nottinghamshire, sharing love (and lap space) with your precious felines

🐱 About me:

Hi! I’m Jemma - lifelong cat lover, part-time street cat whisperer and frequent visitor to Nottingham’s Kitty Café.

I’ve grown up with cats (shoutout to Misty, Keith and Jasper!) and currently share my home with my beloved feline, Sandra.

I started cat sitting in 2018 when I couldn’t have a cat of my own - and I’ve loved every whisker-filled moment since.

I work typical office hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5.30pm) but as I mostly work from home, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate visits outside these hours where possible. Just get in touch!

................

🐾 My cat sitting services:

My goal is to keep your cat calm, content and cared for in their own home while you’re away.

That includes:

  • Feeding and fresh water (including special diets)

  • Litter tray cleaning

  • Grooming and brushing

  • Playtime and enrichment

  • Administering medication (if required)

  • Plenty of cuddles and affection (if wanted!)

I also offer free extras such as:

  • Watering plants

  • Collecting post

  • Adjusting blinds/curtains

  • Taking out bins

  • Looking after other small pets

You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each booking, so you can relax knowing your cat is safe and happy.

I take pride in leaving your home as clean as I found it, and I’m ultra-security-conscious - triple-checking doors and windows before leaving.

................

📝 How it works:

Before your first booking, I offer a free consultation to get to know your cat’s routine, quirks and favourite toys.

Visits are tailored to each cat. Some need long play sessions and cuddles, while others prefer a quick feed and space - and that’s totally fine.

I’m happy to stay longer when needed (schedule allowing), or keep it brief for more independent kitties.

For full-day visits (especially helpful for anxious cats), please ask for a custom quote.

Travelling abroad? I can hold onto your key until you're safely home, so your cat is cared for right up to your return.

And just in case of an emergency, my partner is fully trained and can step in seamlessly while I'm unavailable.

................

💸 Pricing and offers:

Cattery switch trial: I’ll match the price of your current cattery for your first booking so you and your cat can try out cat sitting with no extra cost.

First-time offer: Use code BLACKCAT for 10% off your first booking.

Additional charges may apply for:

  • Households with 3+ cats

  • Peak holiday dates (bank holidays, 25-26 December, 1-2 January)

    Jemma was perfect for my old cat Fern, she spent time with her and gave her plenty care and fuss. I would recommend Jemma as a cat sitter.

    Jemma was a star. We met a few days before the booking and she made notes to confirm our requirements. She carried out the feeding of our 4 cats as requested, and notified us promptly after each visit, and sent photos and videos. Everything was in order when we returned, and our cats were well looked after and in safe hands, Thanks.

    Jemma took excellent care of our cat Meg, feeding her, giving her lots of love and attention, looking after the litter and even taking Meg for her walks outside now that she's an indoor cat. We're really grateful to Jemma for the photo updates too, which are so great to see. An all round fantastic experience. I would highly recommend Jemma! 😺

    First time we’ve used Jemma to look after our cat. Good communication and helpful pre-meet. Daily visits with great updates and lots of pictures, plus a daily video. Came home to a very happy cat!

    Jemma looked after our cat whilst we were away over the weekend and she was fab! Evie was well looked after and we could tell she enjoyed the company. Jemma updated us every time she was there (and sent loads of pics!) and we came home to a very happy cat. Thanks Jemma!

    A pleasure to have Jemma look after our fur babies again. We loved the photo updates everyday and we came back to, two very happy kitties. Thank you so much!

    Jemma made sure she knew everything that was involved in looking after Hattie and I felt confident that she was in good hands . Hattie isn't sociable but judging by the clean dishes knew she was absolutely fine . Thank you again to Jemma for doing a good job .

    Jemma made sure to check what the routine should be during our meet and greet, and kept in touch while we were away (with pics and video).

    Our cat was well looked after, plus the blinds were opened and closed and the fish were fed as per instructions 🙂.

    Our kitty is very wary of strangers and doesn't like change, but was comfortable very quickly judging by the tummy rolls! We would definitely recommend Jemma.

    Jemma is a wonderful cat sitter, she made Jelly feel so loved and when I got home Jelly was not anxious or stressed. Jemma will certainly be seeing Jelly again! I didn't need to worry as Jemma sent me updates and videos which made me feel so much better being away from my fur baby!

    Jemma was a great cat sitter! It was our first time leaving Nancy, so I was quite nervous, but when Jemma came to meet her she already seemed comfortable around her. It was so nice getting photo and video updates everyday, we would definitely recommend her and will hopefully use her again for future trips! :)

    From the moment we sent the first message to Jemma she was very responsive and friendly. She happily came to meet us so we could show her around and talk about Jammy's requirements. Whilst we were away, Jemma sent us daily pictures and videos of our fur baby so we knew he was happy. We came back to a very calm cat and tidy home. We will not hesitate to use Jemma again. Sending a HUGE thank you from us both and Jammy x

    Jemma was outstanding! From first contact to us requiring her for an extra day, she was always in contact with pictures of the cats to let us know they were happy and safe.

    Our cats are nervous of new people but they instantly warmed to Jemma. She is the cat whisperer!

    She was very professional and we were Impressed that she came around ahead of the trip to take notes of exactly what was needed and to learn about the cats’ routine.

    We will definitely contact Jemma again for our next trip.

    Thanks again Jemma!

    Was really apprehensive at first about leaving Rosie on her own for the first time since we got her, Jemma made us feel really at ease and the daily photos were perfect at making us feel comfortable.

    Rosie is quite a nervous cat so it made us really happy to see her warming up to her, will 100% be booking with her again.

    Once again, thank you so much for looking after our little Rose!

    Jemma was absolutely wonderful with our cats. Considering one of our cats had surgery not long before our holiday started, we felt a little nervous about leaving him for two weeks but Jemma was fantastic in keeping us updated and administering Merry's medication each day. She sent us pictures of all six cats each evening with reassurance in how they were doing including excitement around receiving treats and the cats all seemed to love her too! So pleased that I will definitely book Jemma again to care for our cats next time we go away.
