About Me

Your Pet Nurse Cat Sitting

Hi my name is Joanne and I am a Veterinary Nurse from Wakefield. I have aĺways had a love of cats, and am known as the cat whisperer at work, as cats seem to be really relaxed around me.

Unfortunately, i do not currently own a cat. I lost my rescue cat Rosie over 2 years ago at 18 years old. She had diabetes and cat flu. Her diabetes was under good control but i lost her to cat flu in the end.

I have experience with all types of cats, and can administer insulin injections and medications along with plenty of cuddles.

I currently work full time, but do a variety of shifts, so can arrange my visits around these hours. Unfortunately I can't offer overnight stays as I have my own dog to look after.

I have 25 plus years experience as a Veterinary Nurse, and owned cats most of my life. I have also done an ISFM certificate in feline nursing, and currently undertaking a certificate in feline nursing.

    This was our first cat sit experience with Jo and we were not disappointed! Our cat, Dot, can be timid around strangers and has been known to hide under the bed for the entire duration that we’ve been away. Not this time! Jo sent us lots of photos and we could tell straight away that Dot was relaxed and felt safe. Highly recommend!

    Our elderly cats were looked after beautifully and we were sent some lovely photos and videos to keep us in the loop. I would highly recommend Jo and so would Skitty and Skoot!

    Joanne was great with Snowy and sent me updates every day. I could relax whilst away and not worry. It was lovely to come home to a very happy and settled cat.

    Pussycat was happy and relaxed after his 4th time being looked after by Joanne. I'm always made jealous by the videos of him being so friendly with her. I can go on holiday with no worries about him when Joanne is taking care of him.

    I would highly recommend Joanne. Our cat who is normally skittish around new people took an instant liking to her, immediately sitting on her lap, he normally takes days to even be in the same room with a stranger! Her updates were perfect and put you at complete ease that everything is okay. Thank you :-)

    Joanne did a great job again. She sent photos and messages to keep me reassured Dave was safe and well. She’s a reliable sitter who I would use again.

    A repeat booking for Joanne to look after Dave. She does a great job and keeps you informed about how your cat is doing. She’s my go-to person if I need a cat sitter

    It was Joanne’s second sit with Dave. He really loves her and enjoys her visits, soon adapting to the routine. Joanne communicates well and reassures you that your cat is happy and well. Would use again

    Joanne looked after Dave (our cat) so well that I think he was slightly disappointed when we returned from our short break. She kept us updated with photos and messages about him that reassured us he was in the best of hands. Thank you

    Joanne has cat sit for us twice now and is absolutely brilliant. Our cats love her and come out to greet her, and are relaxed and comfortable around her. We always return to two happy, well fed cats.

    We chose Joanne to look after our 2 BSH cats Milo and Milly, because quite frankly, she outshone anyone else we had considered. As soon as Milo threw himself on his back at her feet with his paws in the air, I knew I had found someone special enough to look after them both. It was the first time we had ever left them and I was anxious and tearful before setting off. However, I could have saved myself the heartache ... Joanne was just amazing! She came to visit twice before our 2 week holiday and sent me videos and photos with updates every day (she came twice a day am and pm for 30 minutes) while we were away. She even sent photos of their cat bowls to show how much they were eating and asked if this was normal. She even managed to coax my timid Milly out of hiding to play. Joanne is indeed the cat whisperer and I would not hesitate to recommend her. She is a lovely, kind and caring person and we were lucky to find her. Thanks Joanne xxx
