Relax on holiday - pets and home safe

More information about this house sitter

I am a quiet, sensible person, organised, reliable and tidy.

My family have had 1 or 2 cats at a time for over 40 years, our latest cat being an intelligent and sometimes feisty tabby. She is a semi feral rescue cat, who came to us at 9 weeks old, having lost her mum to a road accident at an early age. A favourite moment from her kittenhood was showing her how to get down from trees, guiding her down by touching branches in turn until she got down safely ( not a very tall tree!)

Our previous cats have all been rescue cats whether from a cat orphanage or a stray living in a neighbour's shed.

I am a volunteer driver for my local RSPCA cat hub, taking cats and kittens from foster homes to the vets and back.

Previously l was a National Trust volunteer, doing room guiding, bookshop duty, admin and selling Christmas trees, so am fairly adaptable if anything needs dealing with.

I have worked for civil service and police (in admin and finance) passing their vetting processes. I have an Enhanced DBS check dated August 2023 and subscribe to the DBS Update Service, which keeps my Certificate current.

I have had my flu jab, pneumonia jab and all Covid jabs available to me. I am also a non-smoker.

I am very security conscious so you won't find pictures of your house or anything suggesting you're away on social media.

You can rest assured that I will take good care of your pet and home while you enjoy your holiday. I will feed your cat(s), change drinking water, sort litter trays and keep cats inside or let them out according to your instructions.

I will give your cats lots of affection and cuddles, play with them and talk to them or just keep them company if they prefer a bit of space.

I have nursed poorly cats and can give tablet medication in food when required and administer flea and worming treatments.

I have looked after a cat who is blind in one eye, a cat recovering from serious illness, a deaf cat, a new mother cat and kittens and an older cat with a recently introduced kitten and am happy to care for other cats with additional needs or particular circumstances.

I have my own car and whilst cat sitting (or looking after other small pets including rabbits and Aqua Dragons), I can water plants, keep your house clean and tidy, return library books and run any errands you might need while you are away. I can also receive any expected deliveries.

I will send email or WhatsApp updates and photos showing that your cat is well cared for, comfortable and safe.

Thank you for considering me. If you have any questions, please ask. Read more...
