Pet care experience

Calm or chaos

Hi! I'm an accountant in my late thirties working in a pretty flexible hybrid job. I'm looking into cat sitting because I recently had to say goodbye to my little love, Alfie. My home feels strange and unfamiliar and I'm trying to get used to it. But sometimes, I just need to step away and be in another space, another home, another pet and recover. This sounds pretty maudlin, but I'm honestly just a semi-fun, organised woman that likes to read and crochet and cuddle with willing cats

Rupal is very polite, and professional . She kept me updated with photos so I was completely reassured my cat was in safe hands and comfortable while I was away.

Rupal was a great cat sitter. She looked after my cat with care and attention, sent updates, good communication. I will book her again.

Rupal was fantastic, keeping me updated with photos during every visit. She took the time to spend with Juno, as well as feeding her and changing the litter tray. She even returned for a second visit when she thought there might be a problem, reassuring me throughout. Everything turned out to be fine, but the reassurance she provided was priceless.

Schedule

I have a hybrid working pattern so love to visit a pet after work on office days, or on my WFH days more flexibly depending on the requirements. I don't have a cat of my own right now so sitting fills a gap in my life and I enjoy my visits as a fun way to unwind and feel renewed

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Has no pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a nice clean home for a cat to relax in with plenty of windows to peer out at the world or garden (windows and doors will all be closed and locked while they are with me) When visiting your home, I will follow the rules! Shoes off or on, recycling bins, feeding patterns - you tell me the score and I'll stick to it

A typical day

I'm very flexible with how I look after cats and will be led by you and your cat. If they love a brushing, I also find brushing very satisfying. If they want to (or need to) play, I love to play. If they just need a presence in the room, me and my book will keep them company. My lap is open for sitting and my fingers are ready for skritches, but I'm mindful every animal has their own likes and dislikes

Let me know what your cat likes/dislikes - while you're away we want them to be feeling as normal and happy as they can be without you, I don't want to mess up any routines or habits that will give them added stress!
