About Me

Experienced Cat, small animal and house sitter in Hastings and surrounding area's

Hi!

My name is Forest, and I am 30, living in Hastings (East Sussex) with car access to surrounding area and very happy to travel up to 20 miles for longer jobs or overnight stays.

I have a wealth of experience looking after animals, having grown up with a house full of small animals, rabbits and birds and having cats ever since I left home as a teenager.

I currently have 2 beautiful cats (Floki, a big Maine coon, and Morag, a tiny sphynx) and am aware and confident of the needs of more speciality breed cats such as sphynxes.

I previously was a student and employee at Tiggywinkles wildlife animal hospital, with a diploma in animal husbandry and care and the experience of handling, feeding and assisting vetinary nurses in the treatment of the animal patients there, with my experience ranging from the smallest wild bird nest of newborns to badgers and large deer. From work experience to home, I have gained confidence and a calm trust with even the most challenging or nervous of animals.

I understand that each Cat has their own unique needs and personality and going away can be a stressful time for a cat parent. I aim to make your trip away as anxiety free as possible by giving the best attention and care to your cat and communicating with you daily with pictures and updates.

I have previously and recently been a house sitter and cleaner and carer for disabled individuals at home.

I will always be contactable by whatsapp for any concerns, queries or worry's you may have.

    Brilliant as always. Hoshi hadn't been well prior to this booking and Forest was great with her; even carried her around the garden for some fresh air seeing as it was so hot (absolutely with my approval and permission!). Hoshi was calm and happy when I got back and I had some very sweet video updates. Very happy!

    Forest looked after our little Toast while we were away and we came back to a very happy cat! We were sent lots of pictures and updates which was wonderful! Would definitely recommend :)

    Forest went the extra mile with our three cats staying an hour a time. We had so many lovlry updates and we arrived home to three incredibly happy kitties. Absolutely fully recommended!

    Another fantastic visit from Forest. She is so reliable and clearly adores animals; the bond she seems to be forming with Hoshi is lovely and reassuring to see. I came home to a very relaxed cat. Given that Hoshi is blind and very old, it's great to feel so confident in who is looking after her if I have to be away for a day. Thank you, Forest!

    Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our little one. Forest gave updates at each visit and provided Zelda with some fuss, treats and playtime whilst we were away for the weekend. Definitely recommend them for peace of mind, I knew my girl was in good hands.

    Excellent care from Forest, once again! I was updated with regular photos and videos and when I came home, Hoshi was relaxed and happy with a good appetite. From the video, it looks like Hoshi really feels comfortable with Forest and, being a very choosy Burmese, this is quite something. I completely recommend Forest!

    Forest is a wonderful cat-sitter. Communicative, reliable, friendly and clearly has a great understanding of cats. She took care of my elderly, blind girl while I was away and sent very regular updates in the form of messages, photos and videos. Even brought her a new cat toy which went down a storm!

    I couldn't recommend Forest highly enough. She went above and beyond when looking after my cat and made sure she was comfortable. Forest reassured us by sending daily photos and videos. Forest built a wonderful bond with her and I knew that she was safe, happy and well-looked after.
