Caring cat lady

I am a retired teacher; now I spend a lot of time looking after my many animals, including 5 cats, all of them rescues, and I am very fond of other people's cats. I will often stop to chat to cats if I am out walking! I have cared for lots of neighbours' and friends' cats over the years - we always seem to get on and they seem to recognise me when I go back. I have had cats all my life and just love them and their idiosyncrasies, they give me so much joy. I have 5* reviews on Trusted Housesitters.

I totally understand your worries and concerns when leaving your precious cat so would care for them as if they were my own while you are away, playing with them, giving cuddles or space if that's what they prefer. I am used to rescue cats and will respect their boundaries if they are a little nervous. Also, amongst my five cats, two are deaf so I know what to expect if your cat is deaf. I am more than happy to open/close curtains and blinds, leave lights on, put out bins, collect post/parcels together and water plants too if necessary. I am also fine with sitting at the last minute if you have to go away unexpectedly - just drop me a message anytime to see what we can arrange.

I am also very experienced with tortoises so for an additional fee can look after them also.
