The Fur-tastic Sitter

I have a deep love for all animals, but cats undoubtedly hold a special place in my heart.

I spent my childhood and teen years caring for a wide variety of animals, nurturing a deep love for their well-being. Growing up in the French countryside, I developed hands-on experience with cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, and even horses. But my passion for animal care extends beyond personal pet ownership—I’ve worked in kennels and sanctuaries across the globe, gaining valuable knowledge. As a keeper at ZSL London Zoo and a dedicated pet sitter for cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I have the skills and experience to professionally care for your feline companion.

In 2022, I earned a master’s degree in Wild Animal Biology from the Royal Veterinary College of London. Now, as a zookeeper at ZSL London Zoo, my schedule allows me to offer flexible cat-sitting services. I have Thursdays off in week 1, Tuesdays off in week 2, plus every other weekend. On my days off, I can visit at any time, and on workdays—since my shifts start at 8 AM and end at either 3 PM or 6 PM—I’m available for early morning and evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight if needed!

Cats may have a reputation for being easier to care for than dogs, but that doesn’t mean cat sitting is straightforward. Properly looking after a feline involves much more than simply keeping their food and water topped up—it’s an art in itself!

As a sitter, I’d make sure to follow all of your cat’s unique habits, whether that means providing plenty of boxes to play in or indulging them with the occasional sip from the tap. I’d enrich their life by playing and socialising with them as much as they want, always adapting to their preferences.

Routine is essential for cats, so I’d stick to their established schedule to prevent any stress or discomfort. Even small changes can lead to anxiety or health issues, so consistency is key.

Of course, I’d offer all the affection they desire—whether it’s head scratches, chin rubs, or back rubs, I’d be there to make them feel loved.

Beyond cats, I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including reptiles, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, and even horses! Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

As you’ll see from my photos on Instagram, I have years of experience with all kinds of animals—especially cats and dogs—and I also have training and veterinary expertise!
