Hello pet people!

I'm an experienced animal carer and have been sitting cats for several years (also dogs and reptiles - but cats are my speciality) including multi-cat households, timid characters and purebreeds. I also had the privilege of living with my own two furballs, Batfink and Shiva, from kittenhood until their final years. I've just arrived back in Sydney after 20 years in London and being catless for the first time in 15 years I'm very ready to meet some new furry friends.

I'm studying for my Advanced Diploma in Applied Feline Behaviour with the intention of becoming a cat whisperer in a few years' time - so I welcome cats of any disposition, including nervous or 'aggressive' characters. Meeting lots of different cats helps me with my studies and I bring all my learnings to make sure your feline friends are happy, safe and entertained.

Being with two cats for their whole lives means I've experienced caring for them through every stage, including intensive and palliative care through their senior years. I'm now pretty familiar with many common cat medicines and how to administer them.

I'll ask you first about your cat, their preferences and their routine to make sure they (and you) are as relaxed as possible about your time apart.

I can send you daily photos, videos and/or updates, and am also happy to water plants/gardens, bring in mail etc on request.

I've previously lived with birds, fish and amphibians and am pretty used to reptiles, should you have additional pets requiring care. I have a DBS (UK police check) certificate.

Visits typically last 30 minutes. Double visits available on request.
