Barry & Louise - October 2025

“Gemma is the most brilliant cat sitter ever. If we could give her more than 5 stars we would. Her communication is brilliant, we got lots of photos and felt continuously reassured that our cats (and home!) were being looked after. She came and visited our cats before we went away so they could meet each other which really put my mind at rest. She is the loveliest person and I could not recommend enough. We will be using her services again and will recommend her to anybody else that needs her services. Thank you!”

“Gemma has looked after our kitties several times now over the last few years and she is absolutely wonderful. The cats adore her and my favourite part of the day is the video she sends of them. I'm very grateful to have my cats in such good hands.”

“Gemma is truly amazing! She’s always kind, organized, and reliable. Our cat Noa absolutely adores her. Just hearing her voice makes him so happy! We really appreciate the regular updates, photos, and videos, which give us such peace of mind while we’re away. Leaving a pet behind when traveling is never easy, but knowing Noa is in Gemma’s care makes all the difference.”

“Our two nervous, semi-feral cats are very happy with Gemma and we are very happy with her care and attention.”

“Gemma is simply the best when it comes to looking after our 2 beloved cats! I used to have so much anxiety about leaving them but Gemma has completely eased that and we always come back to two happy kitties.”

“Caversham Kitties owner Gemma is a great asset to looking after our fur babies when she is needed. She’s caring, passionate, professional & goes beyond if needed like a vet visit if she thinks necessary. She looks after them as if they’re her own. In fact I think one prefers her to me. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Gemma is the best cat sitter I've ever used. She is reliable and professional and goes out of her way to ensure the cats are fed and played with while I'm away. She also keeps up steady feedback re how they are doing via pictures and video messages. I cannot recommend Caversham Kitties highly enough.”

“Gemma is FANTASTIC! We've never had a cat sitter before so were keen to find someone reliable, professional, and a fellow cat lover. Gemma is all those things and more. We were kept up to date on our furballs (who were thriving and very receptive to Gemma) everyday with a video and had SUCH peace of mind whilst on holiday. I cannot recommend Gemma highly enough, she's the best.”

“For 6+months prior to going away I was worrying what to do about our Sammy…as a rescue cat who adores love but only from a select few ( myself and partner only in fact)and hides under the bed to anyone else we never could believe what we received day 1 of Gemma’s visits…Sammy down stairs recieving the kind patient love from Gemma. Gemma knows what individual cats need attention/love/play wise- I genuinely believe she could develop a relationship with any cat who is lucky enough to have her look after them. With lovely videos and updates of Sammy happy and relaxed receiving ( and to our shock wanting) love - kisses strokes ( and even play time) we knew Sams was ok (more than ok!) We now will be checking Gemma’s 2025 availability before booking our next holiday as I don’t feel we could leave Sammy with anyone else bar her new bestie.”

“Amazing service as always! Just come home from holiday to a very happy cat, I had no worries whilst being away with regular updates. Gemma is the best I wouldn't use anyone else.”

“We cannot recommend Gemma enough. She looked after our cat for a week, visiting twice a day and always sent us great detailed updates with videos. Came home today and when my partner returned from the shops later on she ran downstairs hoping that it was Gemma!”

“We couldn't ask for more. Gemma was brilliant with our cats. We got daily updates, videos and pictures which was so reassuring. She not just fed our cats and kept litter tray clean, but she also played and spent time with them. On the top of that, she also fed our fish and watered our plants which made our holiday absolutely worry-free.”

“We have used Caversham Kitties to look after our cat for our last two holidays and couldn’t ask for better care.
Gemma is super lovely and is great with our (slightly feisty!) cat. She keeps us updated during each visit with photos and videos and we always arrive back home to a very relaxed and happy kitty.
I get anxious about leaving my cat for long periods of time but when Gemma is looking after her, I don’t stress at all — I completely trust she is being well looked after.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!”

“I never hesitate to contact Gemma when I’m going away and need someone to take good care of my cat. She’s friendly, professional, and best of all my cat is always relaxed and happy when she’s looking after him.”

“Thank you Gemma. I always get videos and any relevant information while I'm away.

My 18yo girls are very relaxed around Gemna

I will be booking again.”

“Gemma is absolutely amazing! We were so worried about leaving our kitty for the first time but she kept us updated with the  videos from each visit. She really cares and took the time to get to know our boy and made sure he was happy and all his needs were met. Won't go for anyone else to look ofter our Si from now on!”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Gemma to anyone. She takes great care of our cat. Not only feeds her but also spends time playing with her and giving her attention. She even got rid of the mouse that our little monster brought in. She gives us lots of updates and pictures and videos so we have peace of mind while we are away. She's also a lovely person!”

“Gemma is amazing at looking after our cats! They absolutely love her (they are usually very shy to anyone other than me and my partner). Going on holiday is so relaxing knowing the cats will be so well taken care of. We get daily photos and videos which is always amazing when we are missing them and reassuring to know they are in safe hands! Gemma also helped when one of our cats was poorly and gave him his medicine each day whilst we were away. Thanks so much Gemma! The cats are looking forward to seeing you during our next trip.”
