I work for the university & do work from home a lot but have always been able to fit my cat sitting jobs in around my work. I am reliable & flexible & have had to manage last changes because of owners last minute travel delays etc.

Safety, trust & environment

I love keeping pets company as I know it’s important for animals to have company & playtime. I care for animals I pet sit like I would my own cat.

Information Rachel C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any dietary needs or any favourite toys. Please also let me know your pets eating habits as I will adapt how I feed them.

A typical day

I love to visit my pet friends before I start work or go to the gym in the mornings. I play spend around an hour with them where possible. I clean any litter boxes and feed them & can handle special diets.

Loving, Reliable & Experienced Care

Cat care experience

Hello, I’m a dedicated cat sitter offering a calm, reliable and high-standard service for both you and your pet. Having had cats all my life—including my first cat who lived to 21—I’m highly attuned to their individual personalities and needs. Whether your cat is affectionate and playful or more reserved and routine-driven, I take a gentle, patient approach to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for in your absence. I currently have my own cat, so I fully understand the level of trust involved in leaving your pet and home in someone else’s care. Each visit is carried out with attention to detail, from feeding and fresh water to litter care, enrichment and companionship, all tailored to your cat’s usual routine. Alongside pet care, I maintain a respectful and discreet presence in your home. I’m happy to manage small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in post, and keeping everything clean and orderly. For added peace of mind, I work within a university setting and am DBS checked. I also provide thoughtful updates and photos, so you can feel reassured that everything is running smoothly while you’re away. As someone who travels myself, I understand the value of a dependable, high-quality sitter—my aim is to offer exactly that.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Rachel provided for our cats. She sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.
