About Me

Care & Cuddles

I've had cats my whole life, but now at age 50-something I find myself with a cat-shaped space. My last wonderful tabby was a rescue cat who lived with me for twelve years. Now he's gone I'm not quite ready to commit again, but can't live without cats in my life!

I used to run a cafe with my husband, but nowadays work at London Zoo where I am an Animal Keeper Steward, and also work part time from home in Bexleyheath. For the last eleven years I have enjoyed a voluntary role as a Keeper at London Zoo, and there I indulge my passion for animals of all kinds and have learnt an enormous amount about handling and care.

Your cat will always be my number one priority. I understand that particularly in anxious times some cats need more and some less, and I will do whatever I can to keep each one happy and relaxed according to its individual personality whilst you're away.

I will always give as much time to your pet as he / she seems to need, and I won't skimp on this. I am soppy about cats! Due to broad experience with animals I can tackle any difficulties capably and with confidence. I am trustworthy and responsible, and will keep your home secure and tidy whilst it is in my care.

    Claire was excellent with my cat whilst I was on holiday. She was very flexible and was able to adapt to our needs when an injury occurred just days before. Claire was very attentive, ensuring he’d taken all his medication and monitoring his injury and mood. Her communication was excellent and so reassuring. Thanks Claire!

    Once again Claire kept our normally nervous cats happy and relaxed. This time she went over and above her remit to help with a water leak and save us having to cut our break short. Five stars are not enough!

    I highly recommend Claire! She took great care of my cats, provided regular updates, and ensured my darlings were happy and relaxed. I couldn't have asked for better service and will definitely use them again! Thank you one more time.

    Claire was great as always! She gave exceptional care to Penny whilst we were away, with lots of play and attention - and even some new feathers to play with. She let me know when she was ill and kindly checked in on her later the same day. Penny was relaxed and happy when we got home 10/10 :)

    I think Claire did a wonderful job, the cats were relaxed around her and she sent videos and photos every time she went to feed them which was nice for our peace of mind. She took on board all the different requirements for the cats and provided a great service.

    This was the first time that we have had a cat sitter and Claire put us at ease as soon as we met her. She came to meet the cats and communicated well beforehand. She sent us lovely video clips whilst with our cats and we could tell they were at ease, it was obvious that they warmed to her very quickly. I hope Claire is available for us again.

    Claire is brilliant as always with our three troublemakers! She always give them lots of time and attention whenever she looks after them because they know how affectionate and needy they are. When I go away I always see if Claire’s available. Would recommend.

    Claire looked after our cat Sally. Claire communicated well, providing us with daily video updates of Sally, who was clearly happy and relaxed. We would not hesitate to recommend Claire, and will happily book her again.

    Claire is fantastic and we felt very comfortable leaving our cats in her care. Claire is very friendly and her communication is great, we had an update every day. Claire even put our bins out for us which was super helpful.

    We will definitely book Claire again!

    Claire sent reassuring photos and messages each day. Our nervous cats usually hide from visitors, but Claire has gained their trust once again with her gentle nature.

    Claire looked after our Charlie while we were away for a week July 2022. Claire’s communication is excellent, and we had daily updates on how Charlie was doing. We came home to a happy cat, and we will definitely ask Claire to look after Charlie again in the future.

    Our indoor cats are very wary of strangers, but Claire has gradually won them over. She sends us updates and photos after each visit, for our peace of mind, and is an excellent sitter in every way.

    This is the second time we have used Claire and once again she was absolutely fantastic. We came back to two very happy cats! Also Claire sent us videos and photos everytime she came to keep us updated. Would 100% recommend!

    We trust our Baz’s safety and happiness with Claire when we go away because she has been reliable and is clearly knowledgeable and loving to our cat. Thoroughly recommend her as a cat sitter and will be having her around again soon when we go away to visit family

    Another stress free break knowing our cats were being looked after by Claire, worth her weight in gold!

    Claire was an absolutely fantastic sitter! Our Cat Brian was really happy and relaxed when we got back. Claire also sent photos and videos everytime she came to see him which was great as we were really anxious as this was the first time we had left him alone. We will 100% use Claire next time we are away!

    Claire was lovely and took very good care of our two cats, even when one of them were potentially not feeling very well. Very communicative. Would recommend!

    Claire is definitely a cat whisperer! Our two indoor cats are very nervous and usually disappear when anyone comes in. They trust Claire and can be coaxed into posing for photos for her, which she forwards on to us. It is so reassuring to know they are being well looked after while we're away. Highly recommended.

    Great communication whilst we were away and Penny was very well looked after - she seemed so relaxed when we got home after 4 days away. This is the 2nd time we booked Claire and certainly will again the next time!

    Claire is the perfect sitter, a real natural with cats. She sent details and photos every day and was totally reliable. Our cats were much happier than they usually are when we've been away.

    Claire looked after my cat Penny over the weekend. She was really great, gave Penny lots of attention and kindly kept in touch when she visited. You can tell she really loves animals and it was nice knowing Penny was in safe hands. I would definately contact her again next time we are away and recommend her to anyone. Thanks!
