About Me

Cat sitter in Chelmsford

Please note that I am currently not able to take on new clients

Hello! My name is Rachel and I live in Great Baddow near Chelmsford. I have just finished a course in Animal Management at Writtle College and am a cat lover, so what better way to combine the two than cat sitting! I have recently started a part-time job at a local veterinary practice. I began cat-sitting three years ago.

My love of cats started at a very young age and I have some very clear memories of growing up with them. Those magical moments when our cats gave birth are among my most treasured memories, when my sister and I would creep downstairs early in the morning to find a litter of newborn kittens snoozing away in a previously empty cardboard box (although one cat decided to improvise with a nice pile of clean clothes in my parents’ wardrobe!).

I volunteered for several years as a cat cuddler at my local Cats Protection adoption centre so have experience with a huge range of cat personalities. It is so rewarding building up the trust of a scared stray cat, or hear a shy cat purr for the first time. Confident cats who jump straight onto your lap and snuggle up, playful kittens, chilled out senior kittizens… I love them all :)

Please do drop me a message as I would love to look after your little fur-babies while you are away, giving them all the love and cuddles they could dream of, and sending you regular updates to keep your mind at rest. I am also happy to water any plants or pick up the post for you.

    Reliable, friendly and clearly a passion for animals. This was our first time using a cat sitter and we couldn’t have been happier. It was such a relief to find someone who we could trust knowing that our cats and home were in safe hands. Thank you Rachel :)

    Rachel was fantastic while we were away, visiting our two cats twice a day, they were happy and relaxed when we arrived home. Rachel was very thorough when we met, making notes on the cats’ feeding routine etc. We received photos of our kitties every day which was reassuring while away. Thoroughly recommend, and many thanks to Rachel! :)

    Rachel exceeded all expectations. She was amazing with Cleo, we got regular updates, photos, and most importantly, we've come home to an incredibly relaxed (And very well groomed!) cat. Before the stay, communication was amazing, Rachel came round made sure everything about Cleos care was looked after. Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking again!

    Rachel gets the full five stars from us, she has taken care of our two kitties brilliantly. Rachel did all that she had promised and we arrived home from a short trip away to find them both very content and with beautifully brushed coats. The house was clean too despite Sapphire suffering with a hair all while we were away. Thank you so much Rachel, you have another repeat customer!

    I've been using Rachel to look after Louie and Minnie for a few months now, and i have to say she's probably the best cat sitter i've ever had. I'm starting to think they like Rachel more than me. She gives great updates and photos, and always manages to get them to pose. I would highly recommend Rachel

    Rachel was very reliable and trustworthy to look about my baby’s while I was away! Although my cats are shy she sent me pictures and updates everyday and even got my grumpy molly to come out for some strokes! (She doesn’t usually let anyone touch her but us!!) felt totally at ease knowing they were being looked after by Rachel and will definitely be using Rachel again in the future! Thank you!! Xx
