About Me
Sorry, I'm currently unable to accept new clients. Existing clients only at this time. Many thanks.
My name's Claire and I'm an out and out animal lover. I grew up with our lovely pet dog Jenny and when I left home I took on my first cat, a beautiful rescue DSH called Holly. Nowadays I live with my husband, Mark, and we are owned by 3 fluffy, demanding character cats called Baz, Ethelred and Dave. Mark and I know how important it is to us to know that our boys are safe and happy whenever we're away. We only ever leave them home because they'd hate to be in a strange cage somewhere while we're on holiday. That's why I completely understand what you want as a loving and responsible cat owner and I'd like to give you that peace of mind by looking after your cats with the love and attention I give my own.
I adapt to your cat. If they love fuss and cuddles I am in my element but if they prefer quiet company I am happy to do that too. Whatever they want to make them feel happy and safe in their own space.

BanburyThis is our second time using Claire and once again we are very happy. She arrived at the agreed time to feed our cat Hugo, and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We were also updated daily with a picture or video of Hugo to keep us informed. Cannot ask for more. We will use Claire again.

-
Conrad M
BanburyOur first time using Claire and she has been great. She came to our property before the dates we needed her for so that she could meet our cat Hugo, and to learn where everything is along with taking down emergency info. Claire also sent through a nice little update about how Hugo was doing each day. We will 100% use Claire again!
-
Claire W
BanburyClaire has sat for my 2 cats on multiple occasions and they are always happy to see her. This time one of my cats needed an emergency visit to the vet, I was uncontactable, so Claire arranged the vet visit and gave my cat all the extra love and affection she needed. I am eternally grateful to Claire for loving my cats as she loves her own.

-

BanburyClaire has cared for our girl quite a few times now, and we really love being able to book her.

-
anne p
eydon daventryClaire, as always cares for my cats, as if they were her own. Spending time with them even though they can be standoffish at times! I can't praise claire enough. I know there will be pictures, video's and updates and that they are loved. I've said it before but she truly is the mary Poppins of cats and we would be lost without her.
-
Claire W
BanburyReturned home to happy cats once again. Thank you
-

-

BanburyClaire was wonderful and I returned home to 2 very happy cats.
-
anne p
eydon daventryClaire cared for our cats while we had workmen in. There were no amenities and yet, Claire didn't bat an eyelid. She came in early to check on the cats and made sure they were fine during the upheaval. As always, Claire did a stirling job and we can't thank her enough. We would be lost without Claire
-
Seren W
.Claire was great, the updates she sent everyday were fantastic and reassuring.
-
anne p
eydon daventryWe are incredibly lucky ( as are our cats) to have claire as our cat sitter. She is so much more than that. She always spends time to stay with them even when our cottage is freezing cold. They are cuddled and well fed, talked to, and loved. Exceptional and amazing and very lovely indeed. What would we do without her.
-
Sebastiano V
BanburyWe had a week abroad and asked Claire to look after our cats. She was our cat sitter on a previous occasion. Claire was brilliant as usual, She updated us daily with pictures of our fur babies, and she was very responsive when we had questions or concerns. We are delighted with her service.
-
Naomi H
BanburyClaire has looked after our cat several times now, and has been fantastic every time! It’s been brilliant to know that our girl is in such good hands while we’re away, and to come home to a happy and relaxed cat once again!
-
anne p
eydon daventryClaire is just brilliant. Our cats are usually terrified of anyone who walks through our door and yet with claire, not only are they relaxed with her, they also clearly love her. As always, I cannot praise Claire highly enough, she goes above and beyond every time. What a star
-
Clare P
DaventryClaire has cat-sat for us twice now. She is in a word, brilliant! Daily updates, fantastic communication and a cat that is happy and contented when we get home. Can’t ask for more. Thanks again Claire.
-
Naomi H
BanburyThis is our third time booking Claire, and we have once again had faultless communication and come home to a happy cat; we can thoroughly recommend Claire as a cat sitter!
-
Phil W
BanburyI have a very shy cat and going to a cattery led him not eating for four days. I had begun to give up on the idea of holidaying every again, that is until I was put in touch with Claire. She absolutely went above and beyond any expectations and worked a miracle in developing a relationship with my cat. Communication was excellent and I am so happy and relieved to have found someone like Claire.
-
Johanna H
BanburyBoth we and Daisy absolutely love Claire and, as usual, we returned to find a happy cat (indeed I think she was a bit disappointed to see us instead of Claire!) - thank you for being brilliant x
-
anne p
eydon daventryClaire, as always was in touch with photos and messages and loving our cats probably more than we do!! We go away feeling happy and confident that our cats are in the best possible hands. I would not leave them with anyone else. Claire is exceptional.
-
Naomi H
BanburyThis is the second time that Claire has looked after our cat, and she has been just as brilliant with communication and quality of care. I have never known our cat to be so friendly and happy around a cat sitter as she has been with Claire, and we will definitely be booking her again in the future!
-
Michael F
BanburyThanks Claire for being on standby for us. We really appreciate your partnership in taking care of our girls. See you soon!!
-
anne p
eydon daventryVery happy cats as always. Both rushed down the stairs to see Claire, which is more than they did, when we returned home!! Claire checked and watered my tomato plants among other things without being asked. She really is the best. Kind, thoughtful, truly exceptional and most importantly, just loves cats. I can never praise Claire highly enough, she is wonderful.
-
Michael F
BanburyOur two girls love Claire! It is always very comforting to know that we are leaving our cats and our home in very good hands! Thank you Claire.
-
anne p
eydon daventryAs always, Claire is exceptional. Loving and caring for our cats as If they were her own and our cats cllearly love her back. She spends time with them and her communication, photos and videos are superb. Claire goes far beyond being a cat sitter, she is faultless and fun.
-
Naomi H
BanburyWe are so pleased to have come across Claire on this site. She has been brilliant with communication and details, so great with our fussy, shy girl, and even offered to help with extras like putting out bins and plant watering; definitely above and beyond! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for cat care and have no doubt that we will be contacting her again in the future!
-
Michael F
BanburyClaire continues to deliver beyond expectations. Our cats love her (even the really standoffish one) and Claire always makes sure to send photos and updates while we are away. The BEST cat carer.
-
Vicky P
BanburyThe cats took to Claire straight away. I appreciated getting a message while I was away, and came home to two very happy, relaxed kitties! Would definitely recommend.
-
Michael F
BanburyClaire was perfect, as always. Fantastic communications, lovely pics of the two girls, and not a moment of hesitation that our cat are in the very best hands. Thank you.
-
Sebastiano V
BanburyClaire waS professional, caring and really responsive throughout the entire process. We felt we could trust her and that our two cats were in good, caring and capable hands. I would recommend her to anyone and we are looking to use her service again in the future.
-
Clive N
.I can't thank Claire enough for taking care of Monty during a bit of a family crisis. Not only did Claire provide for his basic needs but also spent quality time, and thoroughly pampered him and I think he is looking forward to the next crisis. Thanks again. Clive.
-
Michael F
BanburyOur two girls felt at ease with Claire immediately. One of them, in particular, is now looking past us, as we enter the house, to see if Claire is coming in behind us! Claire is lovely! Great updates sent my SMS with photos. Upon returning home, both cats were happy, healthy, well fed and completely relaxed, with the house absolutely spotless.
Thank you Claire. You made our holiday that much more enjoyable. Looking forward to next time.

BanburyClaire truly loves cats and is such a good sitter! She made sure our cats were okay and went above and beyond to ensure their wellbeing! So happy we found Claire to check on our cats for us!
-
anne p
eydon daventryClaire is an absolute gem. We really wouldn't want anyone else looking after our cats. Sending pictures, videos and messages throughout the week. She offered to do some extra days for us when her plans changed and it is obvious how much she loves the cats she looks after. One of our cats is timid but Claire had her rolling on her back for tummy tickles.... a rare feat indeed.
-
Clare P
DaventryThis was the first time we’d left our cat with Claire - we needn’t have worried. He was extremely well cared for. We received messages with photos every day and came home to a happy and content cat. Claire was very efficient before and during our booking and we would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you Claire!
-
Johanna H
BanburyWe absolutely love Claire and we are enthusiastic return customers- our cat Daisy was so happy when we got home and Claire kept us so wonderfully updated with pictures and notes throughout the time we were away.
-
Clive D
BanburyClaire is thoroughly recommended. Our two cats could not have been in better hands during our short stay away.
-
anne p
eydon daventryThis is the 2nd time we've asked Claire to look after our cats. As exceptional as before. Photo's every day and great communication. Those cats were indeed loved and beautifully cared for, so much so that they were indifferent to us coming home!!! Claire has an amazing ability to do everything perfectly.
-
Clive D
BanburyFrom liaising about arrangements to daily visits and updates, we could not fault Claire in any respect. She is very friendly and helpful and we would thoroughly recommend her. She will be our first choice to look after our two cats in the future.
-
Johanna H
BanburyWe are over the moon that we found Claire to look after our rescue cat Daisy at short notice. Daisy doesn't come out of her hiding place for a single person other than us, and we fully expected Daisy to never even be seen in the flesh by whoever was cat sitting, but Claire went to such amazing lengths to make Daisy feel comfortable- we almost fell over in shock when she sent us videos of Daisy flirting, purring, rolling around on the floor for her- a real testament to how much Claire cared for her and was willing to go out of her way to make sure Daisy was happy. We were initially resigned to booking her into a cattery whenever we went away, as she can get so anxious that she destroys all the carpets and anything she can get her paws on, but the house is immaculate and the cat (more importantly) happy and well looked after. Will be repeat customers for a long time!
-
anne p
eydon daventryClaire exudes genuine warmth, care and consideration, not only for the cats but has extended her loveliness to us. She is so kind and reassuring, spending time with the cats, communicating daily, sharing photos and updates. An exceptional Mary Poppins , practically perfect in every way.
-
Helen H
CropredyI've lost count of the number of times we've asked Claire to look after our cats, for both short and longer breaks. Every time she has been a delight to communicate with, always reliable and upbeat. She sends daily texts and usually a photo or even a video of the cats, and will also put out the dustbins and bring in the post from an outside box. Plus really sweet welcome home notes to cheer us up when coming back to reality! Thank you, Claire, you are a real treasure.
-
Helen H
CropredyWe went straight to Claire for cat-care after lockdown eased allowing us to book some trips away. Our cats love seeing her and she always sends a daily update and photos/videos. I'm sure they get much more attention from her than from us! She also does helpful things like collect in the post and put bins out, and left us a really sweet welcome home letter. We've got her booked for two more occasions this year, and there will be more!
-
Alice N
BanburyWe've used Claire before and she did a brilliant job, so she was our first choice to look after our cats while we were away for our wedding. They were in great hands as usual, and it was lovely seeing the photos that Claire sent. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding party knowing that our cats were being well looked after.
-
Helen H
CropredyOur second time of booking Claire, and she was brilliant again. She made a special effort to get through the floods to reach our cats, and although I'd forgotten to ask, she emptied our outdoor letterbox, for which we were very grateful as it always leaks in wet weather! She noticed it was my birthday while we were away and left me a greetings card, which was very sweet. Thanks Claire.
-
Helen H
CropredyWe cannot recommend Claire highly enough. I would have given her ten stars! She communicated with us very promptly before, during and after the sitting process. She offered to do extra things (bins out, watering, mail collected). She sent a welfare report on our two cats every day of our 8 day holiday, always with a photo or a video; they got a lot more fussing and petting from her than they do with us, I think! And most importantly, she arrived when she said she would and fed the cats the way we'd agreed; they were extremely chilled and happy when we got home. Many thanks Claire!
-
Emma H
BanburyWe would highly recommend Claire, and will book with her again. She was easy to contact before and during the sitting; sent us updates about our cat whilst we were away :); and she was happy to give our garden a little water too. We had piece of mind that our cat would be cared for and that our home was safe. Thank you, Claire!
-
Alice N
BanburyClaire did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after our two boys, Jack and Ollie. We spent a relaxing holiday with regular updates on how they were doing (plus photos), and came home to two very chilled-out cats. Claire was very attentive and made sure that they had playtime as well as food and water. She went above and beyond to make sure that they were well-looked-after, and we'll definitely be booking her again in future.
-
Anthony B
OxfordshireClaire is a credit to this site. She arrived every day and fed and provided comfort to our cat. It is plain to see she loves animals and is reliable and friendly. I will certainly be using her services again.

Noelle S
OX17Claire has looked after my cats for many years. She is 100% trustworthy and looks after my cats as if they were her own. Going away knowing your cats are being looked after and loved goes towards enjoying your holiday and feeling relaxed knowing they are in very capable hands. I would definitely recommend Claire
