Pet care experience

Friendly pet sitter

Hello, I'm Sam, I live in Derbyshire and have two cats and a rabbit. I have also had smaller animals such as hamsters. I love all animals and cherish spending time with furry friends! I know that trusting someone to look after your pets can be difficult. You can rest assured that I will give the care and attention that I would want for my own cats. I understand that each one has a distinct personality and I am able to tailor my visits to suit your requirements. I am more than happy to spend time cuddling and playing with your cat(s) but also understand that they may also be shy or nervous of strangers and may prefer to be left alone. I have lots of experience of looking after pets for family and friends including dogs and I am happy to include the care of smaller pets and fish as part of the service. Additionally I can help to make your house look occupied by opening/closing curtains and picking up post. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I hope that I can help you with your pet sitting needs. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. Best wishes, Sam

Sam went above and beyond what I'd expect from a cat sitter. Clear communication from the outset, made the effort to bond with my cat before the holiday, regular updates with photos after every visit. Nothing was too much trouble to make sure my cat was well cared for and content while we were away, so we had no worries. Can't recommend enough!

We recently had the pleasure of using Sam as our cat sitter, and they truly exceeded our expectations. Their dedication to caring for our furry family was outstanding! Each visit, they showered our kittens with all the love and attention they needed. I was also impressed by how respectfully they treated our home. Thank you Sam!

Sam was excellent and went above and beyond by waiting for Albie to turn up and when he didn't came back later to check on him. We got at least twice daily updates with photos about Albie and the house and whether we needed any changes due to weather conditions. Would happily recommend and use again as Albie seemed very content and relaxed.

Sam was amazing with Toby and Holly. She sent us update with photos and little films. We could see how much they liked her and trusted her. Absolutely great. Thanks Sam.

Sam kept us up to date with photos and videos. And even Daisy, who normally hides from strangers, came to see her for cuddles every day

Schedule

Pet sitting is my main job so I have plenty of time both weekdays and weekends to look after your furry friend. I am flexible with 1 day notice to start visits.

Sam can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pets have any additional needs that I need to be aware of, even if they are just fussy with their food so I know and can make sure I give them the best care possible.
Each sitter joining needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Cat in a Flat, you can get photo and message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
These prices are for 1 cat, including a booking fee of 11%.
