Andrea S.'s Drop-In Visits

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I have loved and lived with cats for much of my life - save a couple of years - and that's a lot! You could say I am a crazy cat lady! My Nooshie a beautiful black & white short-hair passed away in November 2016; she was almost 20 and I had the very real privilege of being her human-mummy for 15 years. She developed a hyper-thyroid condition in 2012 which I managed by finding an awesome Vet clinic who taught me how to give her medication and feed her appropriately. I am a Reiki 1 Practitioner and gave healing to my cat when she broke her leg in 2014. Instead of 6-8 weeks of recuperation, she only took 3 weeks until she was yet again climbing fences. The Vets were astounded. She eventually developed a tumour in her stomach which she kept from me until it had become too large to operate on. I had to say goodbye to her very sadly and still miss her months later. Nooshie was preceded by Suki a stunning black long-hair female and Felix another black & white short hair male who I loved for 5 years until they were both taken from me through road accidents. In my 20's, I was handed 2 cute kittens by their natural Mother - a tortoiseshell short hair feral - who then left for pastures new. They lived until 19 and 20 respectively. When I lived at home with my Mum & Dad, my Brother found a scared little black cat cowering in a corner and brought her home to live with us in a block of flats. I took her in when she was 15 - as I moved away to live in a house with garden when I married - and Mum and Dad then moved to a house with garden to be closer to me. I returned her to my folks and she lived until she was 20. Prior to this, Mum who loves cats just about as much as I do, took in strays and ferals and one in particular protected me when I was a baby by sitting by my pram and warding off unwanted visitors. She would then jump into my pram to curl up, when I was picked up by Mum. Throughout my life, as well as loving animals but in particular cats, I have been employed by commercial companies and worked my way up the ladder to become a respected Bid Writer and Author. I often worked from home and missed having a furry friend around, so I decided to look after other people’s cats, either side of my daytime obligations. Nowadays and for tbe past 5 years, I have become a full time pet carer. Animals are my true passion and now I can be with them 7 days per week. I also found a couple of lovely cats to adopt and enjoy their antics when I work from home doing my admin, reading or writing. I’m truly blessed. So, would you allow me to look after your cats and/or small animals and love them whilst you're away? (Please?) xx

Andrea looked after our three cats over the Christmas period and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She came round twice a day to feed, but also spent quality time with them, playing and giving them lots of attention, which really added to their overall well-being. She sent updates at every visit. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic service from Andrea, she really took the time to bond with my cat. Sending photos of her so I knew she was OK while I was away, she really went above and beyond. 5 Star Service ⭐️

This was the first time I left my girls with someone they didn't know looking after them. Andrea was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be using her again. She really put me at ease with her knowledge, positive attitude and crazy cat lady passion. I truly appreciated all the photos and videos she sent while I was away. A really great experience!

Andrea did a great job looking after our cat- she provided regular updates and photos while we were away and really looked after him. She was very thorough when finding out what our cat liked and enjoyed- lots of playing and stimulation. Would really recommend if you need a reliable, friendly and committed pet sitter.

Andrea looked after our 2 cats wonderfully, kept us up to date throughout . One of my cats needs injections twice a day and I felt confident she was able to care for him with her knowledge. Cats were very happy and well looked after while we were away. Will use Andrea again if needed .
