About Me

Paws, Claws, and so much More!

Hi - thanks for stopping by!

My name's Sharon, and I have many years of experience looking after animals, from dogs to cats and horses. I have looked after many cats over the last decade or so, from kittens to geriatric cats, understanding that each cat has its own unique needs to keep them happy and healthy.

In the past few years I have also successfully completed a number of animal-related courses including pet first aid, feline nutrition, dog emotion and cognition, and animal psychology, and I hold a current Disclosure Scotland check.

I have experience of giving medication to animals including painkillers, flea treatment and ear/eye drops. I also have experience of caring for animals with particular needs (blind/deaf, mobility issues, etc).

My overnight fee includes up to two cats - additional cats accepted at £3 per night extra. I can also offer extra services of light housework, plant watering, and a fridge-filling service for when you return, all for a small additional fee. Please contact me to find out more!

I am also available for overnight jobs at locations more than 30km from the London Borough of Haringey, for the added cost of transport to/from your location.

If you have cats that need a bit more attention I offer a day-sitting fee of £10 on top of Overnight bookings - this means that I spend more time with your pets than I would on a standard Overnight booking, and is great for those animals who find it difficult to be separated from their owners or who might need a bit more time and care.

All overnight bookings include dinner in the evening and breakfast the following morning, and as much fuss and attention as your cat will allow in between!

Please feel free to contact me with any queries you have, and I hope to be meeting you soon!

Sharon

Note: unfortunately I no longer accept twice-daily visits for logistical reasons, but the site doesn't let me state this in my pricing structure.

    Sharon always does a phenomenal job! I am starting to believe Toto prefers her to me.

    Sharon was really attentive to our shy and sensitive cat 😻 (who hid most of the time) and she messaged me with updates each time she visited. I am hoping they will make friends eventually.

    Five star experience with Sharon, as always. I think my cat actually prefers it when Sharon stays over.

    Sharon is always of such great help and I think Toto may like her more than me now. Highly recommended!

    Sharon is an absolute rockstar - always reliable, responsive and incredibly good with my cat! I suspect Toto actually prefers her to me at this point. Lucky to have her!

    Sharon saved me once again! Having had one bad experience on the platform, I am very grateful for Sharon - she is reliable, kind and best friends with Toto. I could not wish for anything more!

    Sharon always gives Toto 5-star cat-sitting service! He gets a lot of playtime (in fact his last toys were bought by Sharon), is better brushed than by me and is generally treated like the King that he is. I always come back home to a happy cat and I suspect he'd rather she stayed behind with him! :) Sharon is also extremely reliable and saved me twice this summer on very short notice. I could not thank her enough! I had a very bad experience with someone else on this platform and I am so glad I could turn to Sharon for help.

    It is our third time having the pleasure of Sharon and Toto hang out! Sharon is always reliable, responsive and Toto has great fun with her! I came back to a happy and purry cat!

    Once again, 5-star service from Sharon, who looked after our girls as if they were her own. They're usually very shy with visitors but adore Sharon, which is a testament to her cat-whispering skills! The house was pristine and Sharon kept us updated with a steady stream of adorable photos. Thank you!

    Sharon was fab, she was very punctual on arrival so there was no stress when getting ready to leave. We got lots of photos and updates throughout our trip and returned to a clean and tidy flat and very happy, well looked after cat. We would definitely recommend Sharon to anyone!

    Sharon stayed over at mine for multiple nights while I was on holiday and was a perfect cat sitter. I got daily updates on Toto (with lovely photos), Sharon always responded promptly to all my messages and on top of it helped me deal with a worker who had to fix my wardrobe while I was gone! Toto was fed, brushed and played with as if I was there. Also, they really bonded and I came back to a very happy cat. I now know that with Sharon I can relax while away without having to worry about my kitty!

    Sharon sent me regular updates and I arrived home to a very clean flat and a very happy cat 😸. Thank you so much!

    Sharon was excellent! Hugo really enjoyed her company, I could tell from the photos she sent through, and the fact that she got an elusive belly rub out of him! She really cares about the animals she looks after, even when they wake her up at 6am by meowing in her face (sorry about that!). When we got back from our trip Hugo wasn't super fussed that we had been gone, the highest praise from him as he's usually quite fussy! Thank you so much Sharon!

    Sharon looked after Leo so wonderfully we are still being snubbed by him! She was the perfect sitter and kept us up to date with pics and obviously loved and cared for him as good as we do. See you next time!

    Awesome. Managed to take care of the most entitled and arrogant cat in the world ;) Texted us regular updates and kept us informed even though we were camped out in a German music festival.

    Sharon saved the day by filling in for a cancelled sitter at the last minute. She even completed the challenging task of applying deworming medication to my kitties' heads.

    Sharon cares about our cats as much as we do. Excellent communicator, reliable, very friendly, and utterly devoted to cats' welfare and happiness. We'll definitely be booking her again!

    Sharon was the perfect sitter. In continuous communication while I was away. All the animals looked happy in the pics she sent me. Very happy and would definitely have Sharon again. It's great to have that peace of mind when you go away...

    Sharon Irvine has been looking after my cats for the past couple of years. I wholeheartedly trust her to take the best possible care of them and I don’t worry for a second when I am away. She took extra special care of a cat who was sickly (now sadly passed) and it was a huge relief to know that he would be so well taken care of as a cattery would just not have been possible for him. We have a young cat now who is very playful and loves to be looked after by Sharon as she always brings toys and treats –she even knitted him a catnip mouse which he loves! <3

    Sharon is extremely caring and patient with animals and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat-sitter.

    I have an elderly cat (18) who has several health issues. He takes medication for his arthritis and his high blood pressure. Sharon has looked after him several times and now I wouldn't imagine leaving him with anyone else. She is very patient and affectionate with him, puts up with his moods and gives him lots of love. She's had no trouble at all getting him to take his medications. She sends me pictures when I'm away to let me know how he's getting on. It's such a relief to be able to go away knowing he will be well taken care of. I'd definitely recommend Sharon to others, even if you have a more challenging cat like I do.
