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.

Abbey woodClaire is brilliant as always. Our Maki didn’t love the fireworks so we were worried about going away but Claire knows our cats well and made sure he was alright.

BexleyheathClaire has been absolutely wonderful looking after Ned, she played with Ned at every visit ensuring that he had a boredom breaker. She consistently communicate with us and shared videos of Ned at each visit. I would thoroughly encourage you to book Claire for your next holidays, you will have nothing but peace of mind.

BexleyheathClaire 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!

BelvedereOnce 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!

LondonClaire 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 :)

BexleyheathI 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.

BexleyheathThis 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.

BexleyheathClaire 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!

BelvedereClaire 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.
