I've never met a cat I didn't love. And you know what? They can tell. Whether they're cuddly, aloof or tiny household dictators, I respect their peculiar boundaries, earn their trust at their pace, and genuinely love getting to know each cat's unique personality.

I've been around cats my entire life - growing up with family cats, helping care for our rescue cat as a teen, and for the past 10 years being devoted to the love of my life: Bonbon, my Persian × British Shorthair. As a long-haired cat owner, I'm well acquainted with grooming, hairballs, and other extremely glamorous parts of cat parenthood.

I offer 30-minute drop-in visits across metropolitan Melbourne, with plenty of flexibility including weekdays, weekends and public holidays. Every visit includes fresh food and water, litter cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if they're keen on that), and LOADS of love and attention. I'm also happy to send photo updates so you can see how your little mate is doing :)

I'm super comfortable with:

• Cats of all ages, including weaned kittens and elderly felines
• Multi-cat households
• Wet, dry and specialised diets
• Oral medications
• Grooming (short and long-haired)
• Everything litter-related
• Playtime, pats and chats

I know some cats take a little longer to come out of their shell, and that's completely fine - I'll happily let them set the pace and earn their trust on their terms. I'm also very mindful that I'm being welcomed into your home, so I'll always treat it with care, follow your instructions closely, and make sure everything's secure before I leave. If anything unexpected comes up, I'll let you know straight away so we can work out the best next step for your pet.

While cats are my speciality, I'm a big fan of all critters, so happy to look after rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and other small pets during drop-in visits.
