About Me

Petting cats super hard until they love me throughout the Durham area

Hi there!

I'm Jennifer and I'm a Durham local with a genuine need to spend time with as many cats as possible. In my day to day life I'm a volunteer helpline advisor with an enhanced DBS certificate and I am training to become a certified counsellor.

I'm immediately overjoyed when I see a cat. I am that person who gets down on the pavement to attract the attention of a passing kitty. Something about them just makes me feel happy and I've been lucky enough to have enjoyed the company of many beautiful felines throughout my life.

We sadly lost our family cat in 2023 to lymphoma - her name was Lola Baggy Potatoes and she was a 10-year-old calico who loved eating cardboard and sleeping on my shoulder ❤️ She liked to follow us when we left the house and we miss her presence daily.

We now have two absolute danger cats named Bad Badtz Maru and Kuromi. They are Norwegian cross kitties and have been absolutely destroying our hearts and carpets since November 😻

I have a lifetime of experience looking after cats and I understand that many felines are not comfortable with strangers but my calm demeanour and confidence in my care will ensure your babies are happy under my watch.

LGBTQIA+ FRIENDLY 🌈🌈

I try to make my visits as long as is practical so will usually stay for around 30 minutes to an hour - this gives me time to remove soiled litter, wash dishes, feed and water as required and then some play or whatever your cat will tolerate.

Since cats are territorial animals, I will not force them to play/be petted if they aren't comfortable. I do try to ensure that I interact as much as possible and will always feedback to you if your pet has been distressed by strange company.

Treats can be given under instruction and if you require me to administer medication or follow a special diet then I will follow your instructions to the letter.

I am not available for overnights.

SMALL ANIMAL CARE I do offer care for guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, gerbils, rabbits and pygmy hedgehogs. Please drop me a message and we'll chat about your requirements 🐱🐭🐰🐹🐢🐁🐀🦔

    Jennifer was so incredibly lovely and friendly and obviously a genuine cat lover. She kept in touch and sent us pics over the three days we were away, and we came home to a very happy boy. Would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a great cat sitter and we’d happily have her look after our cat again :)

    Jennifer was so brilliant with my cat cheetoh, amazing communication throughout, so reliable and pictures every day of my fur baby, can tell her love for cats! Will definitely book again if we go away, I get anxious leaving cheetoh alone but he has had great company and looks like he loved his play time so it made me feel relaxed! Thank you! :)

    As always Jennifer was a fantastic sitter. She kept me updated and kept my cat happy when she (uh, the cat) briefly wasn't eating all her food, and I came home to a relaxed and healthy cat who was eating everything again.

    First time I have had a cat sitter, and she was an amazing choice. I have 4 cats, and for the week I was away, I had regular updates and photos. She also took the time to play and interact with them all eacg visit. She went above and beyond what was expected and I will definitely use her services next time we go away.

    We love Auntie Jennifer! She came to visit us so Mama could introduce us properly. She gave us lots of cuddles and treats, and played fishies with us. She also sent our Mama lots of photos of us. D and BB.

    Jennifer looked after our 3 messy fur-babies during a weekend away and we couldn't be happier! Got an update from each visit & lots of photos. Highly recommended, from a fellow cat-sitter!

    Amazing sitter! She is friendly, reliable, provides detailed updates, and adjusts for my cat's needs. I come home to a cat who missed me but has been excellently cared for in the meantime. I'm looking forward to booking her again!
