About Me
The Cherry Hinton Cat Sitter
Hi there! My name is Kate Fraser and I have lived in Cambridge for most of my life. I've been married to my wonderful husband for twenty years, who is also a cat lover! I first met him at the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute, where I worked for 21 years working in a variety of roles, including stem cell research. My profile picture was taken in a cat cafe we discovered in Lisbon while on holiday there. As a child my first experience of a family cat was a half feral but very handsome ginger cat. He was good at catching rats and loved to proudly display them on our front door step, although he always failed to catch a squirrel.......his life long nemesis! Smudge was the next cat that came to live with us, he liked to sit on my lap when I was playing the piano and sometimes tried to join in as well! These are just two of the cats I've been lucky enough to have in my life so far, but I will always have time for many more! So It would be a dream job and a privilege to pamper cats on a daily basis!. I also offer other services such as watering house plants, picking up mail, and I can take daily pictures of your pets and send them to you while on holiday to give you peace of mind.
I've had eight years experience of cat sitting now, and it's still love doing this job. If your cats are allowed I like to give them treasure hunts for treats. I also like to keep them entertained with their favourite toys and by playing hide and seek, which some cats enjoy! I will also give them plenty of hugs and pampering, if they want me to.

.Kate has taken care of my cat for 10 days. I was very worried to go for my holidays as my cat just had an unplanned surgery a couple of days before me leaving. Lucky we had Kate! She had to administer medicines for most of the time while I was away. She was very attentive, kept me informed (after every visit!) and quickly answered my questions. It was a pleasure to meet you, Kate. I came back home to find my cat healthy and happy. Thank you very much!

CambridgeKate looked after my cat for 9 days. She took great care of him, visiting him twice per day. She fed him exactly as we would and kept him happy with some playtime as well. It was a particularly hot week, so she gave him some garden time as he's an indoor cat and also made sure he had enough water. Plenty of photos and updates were given to give us piece of mind while we were away.
