Friendly Beckenham and Penge cat sitter

I'm a cat owner and cat lover who would love to look after your furry friend while you're away.

I work from home as a freelance editor so I have a flexible schedule (around the school run) and although I like to get my steps in and walk to most appointments, I also have a car and cat carrier for emergencies.

My own cat is Raisin, a 2-year-old tortie who was rescued from the mean streets of Canary Wharf as a teen mum. She is a total softie who'll win you over in a heartbeat, but her predecessor, Mina, was a temperamental diva who attacked ankles and turned her nose up at anything but the best tuna.

Experience with such a sassy cat means I'm up for any challenge!

I cover most areas in the Penge and Beckenham borders, and as well as the usual food, litter, grooming, play and scritching duties I'm happy to take on other household tasks during my visit (watering plants, feeding fish, hamsters, gerbils etc).

I promise plenty of photos and updates – I know how important it is to know your cat is safe and happy while you're away.

I will provide my own Dreamies (unless your cat is on a special diet, natch).
