About Rachel H.

Cat skills

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in an owner's home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter trays, and spend quality time playing and interacting with them, making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. Having cared for cats and dogs of different ages and personalities, from kittens and puppies to a senior cat with additional care needs, as well as my dog recovering from spinal surgery, I understand the importance of monitoring their well-being and recognising when something may be wrong. I am very comfortable following specific instructions for pets with unique routines or requirements. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe and secure in their familiar environment, so I always treat both the pets and the owners' home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving owners peace of mind while they are away.

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know as much as possible about your pets personality, routine and individual needs so i can make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Please let me know about feeding schedules, favourite toys, hiding spots, likes/dislikes, medical needs or any behaviours I should be aware of so that I can provide your pet with the best care possible.

A typical day

I love keeping cats and dogs happy and comfortable by following their usual routine. I love spending time playing with their favourite toys and giving lots of fuss and cuddles (if they enjoy them), and simply keeping them company so they don't feel lonely. I know some pets need time and patience to build trust, so I always let them set the pace. Every pet is different, with some loving attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space. I am happy caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including shy pets, kittens and puppies, as well as senior pets that may need extra patience, care and loving.

Lifelong cat lover & trusted sitter

Cat care experience

I have been around and cared for cats my whole life and understand the importance of providing them with attentive and compassionate care tailored to each cats personality and individual needs. I have experience caring for two cats from kittens until a year old, at my previous job, ensuring they were well fed, exercised and safe with a routinely cleaned enclosure. Making sure they were well played with and loved, getting the stimulation they needed. I have also house-sat for a friend for three weeks, taking care of their 3 cats and two dogs, all of whom had specific routines and care requirements. This involved administering their medicines, maintaining feeding schedules, and making sure each pet was comfortable while their owner was away. Additionally, I cared for my own beloved cat that I had for 19 years. In his later years, he became frail and required close monitoring and extra support to ensure his safety, comfort and overall well-being. Collectively, throughout the years, my experiences have taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of recognising changes in a pet's behaviour and health. I treat every cat as if they were my own, and I am committed to providing reliable and loving care that gives both cats and their owners peace of mind.

I was really impressed with Rachel! She babysat my cat Guinness without much notice and Guinness clearly adored her since he didn't want her to leave 🤣. I didn't have many instructions for Rachel, just feeding times and such, but she understood the assignment easily and Guinness loved the play time! 10/10 would ask Rachel to babysit Guinness again!
