Cat Day & Overnight Sitting In Lincoln
Gem’s Cats provides caring and reliable cat day and overnight sitting in Lincoln for owners who want their cats looked after in the comfort of their own home. For many cats, staying in familiar surroundings is far less stressful than being moved elsewhere, allowing them to keep their usual smells, spaces, routines, sleeping spots and quiet corners while you are away.
This service is ideal for holidays, weekends away, short breaks, long work days, hospital visits, events or any time you need trusted support with your cat’s care. Instead of changing your cat’s environment, we provide in-home cat sitting that works around their normal routine, helping them feel calm, settled and secure.
Cat day and overnight sitting is designed for cats who need more than a quick visit. This can be especially helpful for nervous cats, older cats, indoor cats, young cats, cats who dislike being left alone for long periods, or cats who are used to having someone nearby for company and reassurance.
During a cat sitting booking, we can help with feeding, fresh water, litter tray checks, wellbeing checks, playtime, gentle fuss, brushing, quiet companionship and keeping your cat’s routine as normal as possible. Every booking is shaped around your cat’s personality, whether they enjoy cuddles and attention or prefer calm company from a distance.

Cat Care Monthly Plan.
How it works:
• Choose a monthly amount that suits you
• Payments are taken securely each month via Stripe
• Your payments build up as credit on your account or is taken off your remaining balance
• You simply pay any remaining balance before your booking
More Ways To Pay!
We also offer more bespoke monthly payments plans where you can pay off a few of your holidays booked over just a set few months (instead of a rolling continuous monthly payment) without paying the remainder before the holiday as the entire amount is paid for the multiple holidays by the beginning of the last holiday.
So splitting 4 holidays over 4 months, the total amount is divided by 4.
You can also choose to set up your own payment plan using your bank to create a Standing Order instead of using Stripe.

Reviews
Gemma is a real ‘cat lady’ and does a fantastic job of looking after our 5, very individual cats. We have 3 rescued feral kittens, 2 of which are super shy & timid – Ollie & Bob and the darling wee ‘Dot’ from the same farm, who for some reason, isn’t as shy or timid! Plus we’ve the 2 adults, Nellie (Senior House Cat) & Mowgli – ‘The Mighty Hunter’ They all have quite different needs with care and Gemma makes sure each is looked after. Gemma sends us pics as updates and keeps us informed. Reliable, trustworthy and cat knowledgeable too. I know our furry kids are in capable, and more importantly, genuine caring hands with Gemma. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and have already booked Gemma to come stay again with our cats.
Gem is absolutely amazing. She took the stress out of leaving the cats as we knew they would be in good hands. We received so many pictures and updates it was amazing. Our cats have been truly spoilt and we have returned to two very happy kitties. She is just a wonderful lady and I can not recommend her service high enough!
Gem was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t recommend her enough. We wanted to find an alternative to a cattery and Gem’s pet sitting service was perfect. We had lots of communication and updates on Pickle including photos and videos which helped us feel at ease. Pickle instantly took to Gem, and enjoyed a lot of attention and playing time throughout the stay. We are so glad we found Gem and will definitely be using her pet sitting services again in the future!
I can’t even begin to explain how Gemma’s service has transformed our Christmas. Having pets is just like having small furry children isn’t it ? But we can’t take them away to spend time with family for obvious reasons and leaving them seemed selfish and mean at Christmas. But then I discovered Gemma’s cats and she put my mind at rest and she has kept us updated with funny pictures and has spent time with them and they’ve had new treats and toys and cuddles and time spent with them. She is amazing and her business is professional and friendly and her knowledge and skills have totally helped me relax. Thankyou so much xx
If you need a cat-sitter in Lincoln, Gemma is the person to go to! Utilising a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, she has made my trip away anxiety free. With photo and video updates of my cat, I haven’t had to worry once and I know she is getting all her needs met. Videos Gemma has sent me prove that she is a natural with animals, to the point that I think my usually reserved cat will be disappointed when I’m back and Gemma is not making her daily visits. A huge bonus that Gemma was available to care for my cat over the Christmas holidays too. I can’t recommend her enough and I will be using her again in the future.
