About Me

The Happy Cats & Owners Service

Hello, my name is Claire and I have lived in South Woodford all my life. I adore cats and over the years have looked after family members' pets when they were on holiday, as well as making friends with the cats that visit my garden. I'm not able to have pets myself and so love the opportunity to look after other peoples' instead.

I find that I get on particularly well with timid/shy cats, although I'm equally happy with more boisterous ones who want to play all the time! I try to carry out only one booking at a time if possible, so your pet can be assured of my undivided attention! I am happy to visit cats in the South Woodford, Wanstead and Woodford areas.

    Claire was reassuring and friendly and we felt our cat was in safe and experienced hands. She also dealt with a pipe which suddenly started leaking, for which we were very grateful.

    This was the first time I’ve left my fairly needy and shy lockdown cat, Fliss, at home. Claire was great, I received regular updates twice a day and Fliss clearly enjoyed her visits from Claire. Claire made time to play with Fliss during her visits. Most importantly I came back to a relaxed and happy kitty!

    Claire has been a super cat sitter whilst my partner and I were very far away for a two week period. She has been really attentive towards Lilou and her rather timid character; making efforts to give her the attention she needs. She was also able to change the cat litter and water fountain per instructions and kept me frequently updated each day and with photos too :) Thank you Claire and I'll be booking you again!

    Hari has yet again benefitted from the devoted care and attention and company of Claire during our 11 day holiday. He was in top form on our return and Claire's thoughtful messages and updates during our absence ensured a worry -free holiday. Hari is looking forward to a further week of pampering in September.
