About Me

Friendly, Reliable Cat Care in the Plaistow/Upton Park/East Ham Area

PLEASE NOTE: In order to maintain good work/family life balance, I am currently only able to take bookings from those who have booked with me before. No exceptions. If this changes, I will update my profile.

I have been a cat lover my whole life. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest USA and had innumerable cats growing up, all well loved and with names, though none of them were allowed in the house due to family allergies. As soon as I had my own place, I got a cat who could live indoors with me. I noticed she was lonely when I worked long hours, so I got her a friend. Years later, I was helping a friend find a cat at a shelter, and I couldn't bear to leave behind a sweet little kitty that had stolen my heart. After that, it just felt right to always have three cats. Now I've got a husband and two children who also love cats, and we are all happy to be a feline-loving family.

I would love to have more cats, but space constraints will simply not allow for that, so I am happy to look after others' cats while they are away. I have been looking after friends' pets since I was in university twenty years ago, so in addition to the experience of looking after my own cats, I've got lots of practice making sure that other animals remain comfortable at home while their humans are away. We have been fortunate to have good cat sitters when we have had to travel, and I strive to provide the same level of care that we want for our own cats. I am happy to give a cuddle, play, give treats, brush, trim nails, administer medication, and do whatever else your cat needs in order to feel safe, secure, and loved while you are away. I know that all cats have different temperaments, and I expect to get to know your cat as an individual and give them what they need.

I provide the care your cat needs and wants, whatever that happens to be. Some like to play, some prefer to be stroked, some like a little of both, some prefer to get to know me a bit before they will interact. If your cat is shy at first, that's ok! If your cat is friendly or bossy, great! I enjoy all cat personalities and I will do what is necessary to help your kitty feel safe and comfortable with me. I am happy to do whatever your cat needs to feel at ease while you are away.

    Mary is a fabulous cat sitter. She was wonderful with our kitty, Nymera, who seemed very happy and content on our return after a short break. Throughout our break we recover regular updates on Nymera and how she was. I would highly recommend Mary.

    Mary looked after our cats for 2 weeks while we went on holiday. We were so nervous leaving them for such a long time but Mary gave us updates and photos every day and made sure they were happy. She even went to the pet shop to buy some of our cats food that ran out. We are back now and the cats seem really happy. Thanks Mary!

    It was the second time Mary took care of Bear and while I was very nervous about leaving him the first time, this time we went away for nearly 10 days feeling relaxed! We came back to a healthy and happy cat :) Mary does a great job of spending quality time with Bear and kept us updated with pictures every day! Would definitely recommend

    Mary looked after our cat, Saga, for 4 days whilst we were away on holiday. Couldn't recommend her enough - she was great at communicating with us, sent us pictures of Saga each day and when we got home Saga seemed to be a very happy and well looked after cat. Thanks Mary, and when we go away again we'll definitely be in touch :)

    Mary looked after our cats Algi and Kit over Christmas and made sure they were happy and content while we were away. Algi tends to be timid but by the end of our break he and Mary were friends and Kit absolutely loves her. We were updated with regular photos and had a fun, relaxing festive period knowing they were also having a good time. We’ll definitely ask Mary to sit for them again.
