Availability

I work from home the majority of the time, which means my schedule is genuinely flexible, I'm available for drop-in visits or walks most days of the week, though my exact availability can shift depending on work commitments, so I always confirm timings well in advance.

Cat skills

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I offer drop-in as well as House sitting, so all care takes place in the pet's own home where they're most comfortable and settled. During each visit I follow the owner's routine closely. Feeding, fresh water, playtime, and any medications or special instructions are all handled exactly as requested. I make sure the pet gets genuine attention, cuddles and playtime for the full duration of the visit. I'll send photo or video updates each time so owners can see their pet is happy and well. If I notice anything unusual, a change in appetite, behaviour, or energy, I'll get in touch with the owner immediately. I also make sure the home is left secure and tidy before I leave. Happy to water any plants or collect any mails/ delivery while I am there.

Information Saba P. would like to know about your pet

As I have rescued many cats before I am happy to administer any required medication. Any special needs of the pet must be communicated before the pet sitting starts and if there are many instructions to follow, written instructions would be preferable.

A typical day

I'll always use their favourite toys and whatever play style suits them best, whether that's a good game of fetch, tug of war, ambush or just some relaxed interactive play. I also enjoy doing a little light training during visits if the pet is up for it. Simple fun things like teaching them to shake hands or give a high five are great ways to keep their mind engaged and burn off energy beyond just physical play. It builds a nice bond too, which means pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I always take my cues from the pet though, some just want to play, others want fuss and company, and I'm happy to follow their lead.

Cat care experience

Hi, I'm Saba. I hail from Mumbai, India, currently located in Southampton. I am a proud parent of two cats 10-year-old male cat Peaches and a 4-year-old female cat Kiki. I have also rescued many stray cats and dogs back in India and put them up for adoption after foster care.

Another great cat sitting experience with Saba. Daily photo/video updates, and she even managed to teach our (preposterously lazy) cats a trick! Highly recommended - thank you!

Saba was able to step in on a short notice, as we needed a sitter to look after our senior cat during a sudden work trip. She timed her visits carefully to follow our cat's medication schedule and sent photos and messages so that we could see that everything was fine at home. We highly recommend Saba and our cat seems to always be happy to see her.

Saba is an excellent sitter who looked after our cat for a two-week period. She administered medines adhering to a tight schedule & gave our cat plenty of attention during each visit. It was reassuring to receive messages with photos & videos throughout the booking & it was clear that our cat really liked Saba. We came home to a very content cat!

Saba is a fabulous cat sitter - she clearly loves cats, and our cats loved her too. Videos and photos from each visit showed how much fun they were having, and we came home to two very well-looked after cats. Thank you!
