Pet care experience

Reliable, loving care for your cat

My childhood was full of cats as my mother couldn't imagine living without at least one cat in the house. She favoured pedigrees especially Siamese but I have a soft spot for all cats. Since my beloved cat died at the age of 17 recently, I have found pleasure in looking after friends' cats. Now that I am semi-retired, I have time to extend my cat-sitting and would be thrilled to meet you and your pet.

Jo was great! She sent me multiple updates (including cute photos!) throughout the day to keep me in the loop on his mood, food schedule etc. I felt she really took the time to ensure Ramses’ wellbeing. Would definitely recommend her to any kitty parents

Yet again Jo was amazing! Our cat loves her - she might start begging us to go away soon so she can have all the attention Jo gives her! It is also reassuring knowing we can totally rely on Jo, she is dependable and very thorough. I love her regular updates and photos, too. We are so lucky to have her looking after Iz.

We couldn't have been happier with Jo - she was absolutely brilliant! This was our first time using a cat sitter. We only got our treasured kitties 6 months ago. We didn't have a solution to going away on holiday until a friend introduced Jo. We were reluctant to leave them as they're young and didn't want to send to a cattery. Jo has such a gentle and lovely manner and clearly loves cats. She was extremely reliable and sent fantastic, , reassuring updates via WhatsApp every visit. Amazing value for money, she even took care of our hamster as well as the 2 cats! We were able to relax knowing the pets were in great hands - and the house as well! It's a big thing to hand over your keys to someone you don't know but we are already looking to book Jo again for our next trip away. Jo came to meet us before we booked her so we had a chance to have a proper chat and introduce the cats to her. We feel extremely fortunate to have met her and for our wonderful feline friends to have such brilliant care. The WhatsApp updates with pics became a fun part of our holiday routine and our little daughter loved seeing Jo's pics. Massive thank you, Jo! If you need a reliable and caring cat sitter, don't hesitate to book Jo - she is wonderful! She even went the extra mile by watering our plants and even accommodating us by doing an extra day of visits meaning we could extend our holiday.

Could not recommend Jo more highly. When our usual cat sitter wasn’t available, we reached out to Jo via the app, who was very happy to come and meet us and our cat before confirming to see if she was a good fit and she absolutely was. So helpful, extremely communicative and absolutely excellent with our cat, Jo was fantastic, sharing lovely pictures and updates on each visit. We will 100% be using Jo again!

Schedule

I work during the week but I can visit after work and also in the morning if you prefer two visits per day. I shall agree timings with you, and can be reasonably flexible with my working hours, to match your cat’s routine.

Jo can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your cat has any special needs - I pride myself on my understanding, flexibility and care. I am confident and comfortable with shy cats, assertive cats, young cats, older cats, indoor cats and outdoor cats!
