Cat sitter who is around in the school holidays as well as term time!

I'm Elizabeth and have always loved animals.

My first job as work experience was in a pet shop! I have owned guinea pigs and a rabbit as a child, we also had pets at school.

Since the age of 12, I have kept and breed tropical fish.

With cats specifically in mind, over the years I have fed friends and neighbours' cats and in recent years, my "cat nephew" has been added to the cats I've fed and played with when my brother and sister-in-law have been away.

I have recently changed from having a shop on a High Road to running this shop online only. This will allow me to have a flexible way of feeding cats and other pets.

Although this part specifies to let you know about cat sitting, I am offering to pet sit in general. I have some family with allergies so have owned tropical fish myself for over 30 years! I have had rabbits and guinea pigs when I was a child, have pet sat my brother's gerbils and hamster in recent years too.

I now own and run an online baby shop so am not working inside a shop 6 days a week as I have been. I can pop in to see a cat in the morning, evening or even day time if that's what they prefer and operate my business around feeding cats.

Although not the most experienced at changing cat litter, I have cleaned hutches and aquariums, so muck is muck and I am happy to do that of course.

I have never administered medication to any pets before, so haven't added this option. If a cat or other pet just needs tablets, that's okay, I wouldn't want to administer injections without training - I am a trained first aider, but that's different!
