Picture Purrfect Cat-Sitting
I'm a fine art photographer who stumbled into pet- and house-sitting for friends in September 2021. Subsequently, I've sat 41 kittehs, 9 doggos, 1 hamster, 10+ fish, 2 peacocks and 7 chickens across 29 homes. As I grew up with dogs and hadn't lived with cats until I started cat-sitting, it's been a (sometimes steep) learning curve, but an enjoyable and rewarding journey becoming a cat-sitter. The cats have ranged in age from 14 weeks to 17 years old, and the dogs from 3 to 13 years. All have asked me back or expressed interest in future bookings.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet I've cared for has a distinct personality. I've enjoyed getting to know and bonding with each one. I keep the lines of communication open. Regularly sending updates, photos and videos of your bundle(s) of floof so you can be assured of their safety and happiness while you're away. Unless it's not possible due to distance, I will always arrange a free meet-and-greet with you and your pet(s) before the first booking.
Ratings and reviews
Bronwen was fantastic with Jilly as always! Jilly always takes some time to warm up, but Bronwen is patient and kind with her and eventually Jilly is happy for snuggles. Bronwen had some extra work cut out for her with Jilly's strict diet rations and medicine but she worked it all out perfectly. Jilly took to sleeping where Bronwen had been once she left, so safe to say she enjoyed her time with her as always, and missed her after she left! Always highly recommended!
Two very happy kitties after a week with Bronwen. Home left nicely for a further sitter coming in :)
Bronwen goes above and beyond to meet all of my little cats needs. She is a very respectful and thoughtful house guest. She communicates actively with updates about the kitties and to top it all off she is an excellent cat portrait photographer so you end the week with a wonderful portfolio.
kitties had a lovely time with Bronwen. They are grateful for how long she spends with them giving them lots of cuddles and attention. Very helpful for me as an anxious cat mum just how regular and thorough Bronwen’s feedback is
Bronwen is absolutely phenomenal! Realy great communication, flexibility and you can really tell she loves your kitties❤️
As always, Bronwen is amazing at looking after our cat and house! Jilly always takes a while to warm up, but Bronwen is patient and kind and eventually gets rewarded with bed and lap cuddles and belly rubs. She always looks after our house well - always highly recommend!

Schedule
As a remote worker working flexible hours, I can spend quality time with your pet(s) when it suits them. My experience has predominantly been overnight stays, from one night to three weeks. Some within my postcode (N8). Others as far afield as Minera (Wales), Delamere, Cotton End, Leighton Buzzard and Bishop's Stortford. I'm more than happy to discuss overnight stays further afield (the site only allows me to select up to 60 miles from my home), but that may not allow for a face-to-face meet-and-greet ahead of the booking. I can work from anywhere as long as I have access to a reliable internet connection. I'm happy to visit your kitteh(s) once or twice daily if they're closer to my home, ideally within 1 km, as I don't drive, e.g., N8 (Hornsey, Crouch End, Alexandra Palace), N22 (Wood Green, Bounds Green, Bowes Park) and N15 (Tottenham).
- Bronwen can host up to 1 drop-in visit per day
- As I'm not quite 5'3" tall, I'm not confident sitting larger dogs, in case they knock me over in their excitement. Please let me know in advance if your dog is reactive to any human behaviours, e.g. doesn't react well to direct eye contact or becomes overstimulated and nippy if patted too much. Or if they have behavioural issues with other dogs that I need to be aware of when walking them. I want to ensure they feel safe and comfortable with me and vice versa.
