Cat care experience

Hello! My name is Hope, I’m 31 years old, I’m a Youth Worker, and I adore animals. My first cat, TJ, was a rescue. We had him from the age of 16 and he lived to the age of 23. He passed away a few years ago, but I believe he lived a long and happy life because we gave him the love and care he needed. When he was 16, we were told he had only had 6months to live, but he continued to live an extra 6-7 years. I miss him everyday. TJ was on medication for his heart and kidneys, and he was on specialised food. If your cat needs specialised food and/or medication, I am more than happy to provide your cat the care they require. I now have another cat, Ivy. She is 4 years old, and we rescued her from Bahrain. She is a calico, and an absolute drama queen. She is funny, sassy, vocal, ‘spicy’ yet sweet. If you have a calico, I’m sure you know what I mean! I also care for my neighbours cats, including a Bengal. He also has specific requirements (for example, extra playtime to keep him stimulated). I have always been an animal lover. Prior to having cats, I used to own dogs, fish, and rabbits. I also care for my neighbours guinea pigs and dogs when they are away. I regularly care for 3 dogs in my apartment building. This includes regular walks and sleep-overs. If you pick me as your pet-sitter, I will not only provide the basics, but I’ll spend lots of time with them to ensure they are happy and not lonely. You will receive plenty of updates via WhatsApp, including pictures and videos.

Honestly amazing, went above and beyond looking after our two cats. Highly recommend for any pet owners out there that are looking for a sitter, great communication and flexibility, even our shy older cat seems to have made friends after a day or so.

Hope was fabulous! Went above and beyond, kept me updated and looked after my little Nico so so well. She even helped me out when I had a last minute change of plans and needed some additional visits. Would recommend her 100%.

We always rebook with Hope and couldn’t recommend her more. She sends lots of detailed updates and photos/videos, which really helps us relax while we’re away. She doesn’t just feed Lola and clean the litter box, she genuinely makes sure Lola is happy, comfortable, and properly looked after until we’re safely back home.
