About Me

Cat lover available for cat sitting in Shoreham- by-Sea, Shoreham Beach and Southwick

I have owned cats for many years and also fostered cats for charities that bring rescued cats from Egypt to the UK both short term and long term caring for them . I have done voluntary work checking homes and transporting cats for cat rescue. My cat Merlin came from Egypt in 2015. He's a very cuddly Siamese.

In 2022, semi retired, I decided to turn my hobby into a part time job by joining Cat in a Flat. I am very responsible and reliable and love cats very much. Your cat will receive lots of cuddles and I will play games with the cat too. Whatever the cat likes.

Drop in visits are 45 minutes.

If you require half day visits so whole morning or afternoon please ask as I have plenty of time.

I also work part time from home as a tutor on distance learning courses for creative writing. This involves writing reports on student assignments so I don't have fixed commitments and can be flexible to come at times to suit you.

I will message you both when I arrive at the cat and when I leave plus the photos of course.

Also happy to video call if you would like to 'see' the cat whilst you are away.

I have completed the course Essential Cat and Kitten Care from Open Academy.

Covering Shoreham by Sea, Shoreham Beach and Southwick areas.

Will do food and water bowls and litter tray. keeping the cat area very clean. Cuddles or games, whichever your cat would like. I will give your cat lots of love. Of course I will send updates and photos.

Happy to water plants and bring in post. I have recent police check and on the automatic annual renewal of this.

Above all I will keep in touch with you so you will be reassured that your animals are well and fed and that I have spent time with them.

Happy to look after birds, rabbits and small animals so please ask.

    As always, Mary did an outstanding job looking after our cat, tortoise and fish. She’s incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive — we always feel completely at ease knowing our pets are in her hands. We can’t recommend her enough.

    Mary communicated very well with us when she looked after our cat recently. She shared updates and photos which are always reassuring to receive. Our normally very timid cat even sat on her lap. Many thanks Mary

    Mary has taken care of our Blue once again, along with our tortoise and fish, and as always, everything was perfect. We returned to a very well-cared-for and happy cat. Mary’s attention to detail and love for animals give us peace of mind every time we travel. Highly recommended!

    Mary looked after our cat Daisy who can get very stressed while we are away, but thanks to Mary gently coaxing her out from under the bed she was happy and chilled when we returned 😊

    Thank you Mary for looking after Sabby so well. Had every confidence in Mary. Sabby was well cared for and the photos and videos sent by Mary on each visit and her reports on how Sabby was were reassuring and much appreciated. Will definitely ask her to look after Sabby again in the future as the occasion arises

    Once again, we are very pleased with Mary. When she looks after Blue and the rest of our pets we know everything will be as it should be and we can leave our pet family in her care with peace of mind. Mary sends updates and if there is anything that concerns her she will let us know. We will definitely be using Mary's services in the future 💙

    It was the fourth time we have asked Mary to look after Blue. She is just great, she spends time with the cat, you can see she cares. I was concerned that Blue had lost weight recently. Mary started asking questions and helping to answer why our cat wouldn't eat. She even offered to go with him to the vet. She kept me updated on how B

    Mary looked after my cat Sam last weekend. He had been off his food for a few days. Mary was a very caring sitter, talking and playing with him. She is coming again soon, I'm glad I found her. Thanks Mary.

    Mary was absolutely brilliant. The cats loved her and she kept us up to date with messages, photos and videos during each of her twice-daily visits. We were so impressed, we've already booked Mary in for our next trip - it's such a relief to know they are in such caring and capable hands.

    Mary is the best sitter we have had so far. She spent over an hour on each visit. Blue started to rub against her already on the first visit. We also have fish and a tortoise and Mary has taken great care of them. There was no problem when we asked Mary for one extra emergency visit. I would recomment her to all concerned cat mums.

    Mary was very communicative giving me lots of updates on how Paul was doing. When she came to return the key Paul put in an appearance to see her - so she has his seal of approval

    Mary looked after my two cats for a week, and i suspect they had more attention than they get daily from us! She fed them well, hung out with them, sent photos and i came home to two very happy cats. She was very easy to communicate with , and was helpful with bringing post in, watering my indoor plants etc. Would Highly recommend.

    Super friendly, professional, courteous, and efficient service. Mary really loves what she does and I consider she treated our cat like her own, maybe even better than our own cat. Will certainly use again.
