About Me

Friendly cat sitter in Brighton (& Kingston/Surbiton for previous clients by arrangement)

Hello! I'm Amanda

Following a number of years cat sitting in the Kingston and Richmond areas of Surrey, I have now relocated to Brighton.

previous Kingston/Richmond clients please note I am still available for once per day/full day/sleepover visits by arrangement

I'm a big fan of most animals, having had horses, dogs, guinea pigs and cats throughout my life as well as a Jersey cow, goat, some chickens....

I had two an elderly indoor cats Niles & Fraiser who I rescued when they were 6 months old and lived to three grand ages of 16 and 15. I sadly lost both to old age/illness recently, they were curious, eccentric and friendly cats and much missed. I adopted Niles & Frasier when I was helping a local cat rescue centre, where I collected abandoned cats and helped foster unwanted kitties. So I'm used to cats of all temperaments from the very nervous to the very energetic!

I'm happy to cat-sit at your home dropping in when required to provide brushing, fussing and feeding as well as litter scooping and play time with your feline friends. I have a number of regular bookings and repeat clients.

My once per day visits are a minimum of half an hour my twice per day visits are up to 90 mins across the two bookings in total (although often longer). I don't take on more than two bookings at any one time (except on bank holidays where I have more capacity) to ensure your cats receive the attention they deserve.

I work for a film and tv company and visit my kitty clients mornings and evenings.

My services include fussing, feeding, grooming, playing and ensuring your home looks ‘lived in’ whilst you’re away, be that taking in mail, opening/closing curtains or watering your plants.

I send regular photo updates of your cats too so you know they’re happy and content.

I specialise in looking after nervous cats too.

    Amanda is awesome. We’ve used her multiple times now and she’s always been great. I feel like our cat Tony really likes her too, which makes me feel so much better about letting someone else take care of him for a few days! I would highly recommend her 😊

    Amanda has looked after my cats twice now. She's great at communicating throughout the process and is both friendly and highly professional. She cares a lot about the cats she looks after and provides regular updates and photos if wanted.

    Amanda took such good care of our two cats (who are not used to being by themselves for multiple days). She seems to have a magical calming energy, that even our scared one came out eventually to get to know her (instead of hiding forever)! We absolutely loved the photo updates and felt reassured that our fur babies were in good hands.

    Amanda was fantastic! Very communicative, I got tons of pictures, and she understood each cat’s unique needs. I have one very anxious cat and one very clingy cat and both of them were given exactly what they needed while I was away. She was understanding of my anxiety leaving them and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Amanda ❤️❤️

    Absolutely love having Amanda back looking after our two cats. They're used to going out so I was concerned they'd be stressed at having to stay in with toys for a week, but they have been taken excellent care of and we've had regular photo updates on our trip. Amanda seems to enjoy getting to know the cats and their different personalities and I know our fur babies have been in the best hands while we were away. Highly recommended.

    Amanda is the cat whisperer! We have 2 boys but one is very nervous around people he doesn't know. Not with Amanda, she won them both over almost instantly! A great job looking after our cats for a week, with regular updates and giving one his tablet every day! The little things like picking up the mail and tilting the blinds really gave us peace of mind for our house as well as the kitties. Would thoroughly recommend Amanda, she's a lovely lady and really enjoys looking after cats.

    Amanda was a delight to use as a sitter for our young, furry feline, Muse. She came around prior to the booking to scout out the place and make sure she had met Muse and knew where everything was that she needed. We also had a good laugh discussing each other's cat stories!!

    During our time away we received regular photographic and textual updates, and all pet owners know well how vital it is that we know how our furry family members are doing in our absence!

    It truly was a far more enjoyable experience using Amanda as opposed to a cattery and we will not be hesitating to book her for our future trips away! Thanks Amanda!
