About Me
Trusted and highly experienced cat sitter available in Oxford
Hi, I’m Irem - a self-employed mental health trainer, movement therapist, and dance teacher. I work my own hours and can therefore be very flexible in meeting your requirements. I just love cats and everything about them; from their different temperaments and personalities to the way they communicate with their humans. They are an endless source of love and learning for me. I’ve had several cats over 20 years; a Siamese, a tabby cat, 3 Bengal cats. I am unable to keep a cat in my rented flat so, I am looking for ways to get some feline company back into my life.
Making sure your cat is comfortable and happy is my priority. I have no problem cleaning litter, brushing them, and taking care of general cat duties. Just let me know how you'd like me to be there for your little one and I will try my best to make the both of you happy!
I love house sitting as it means I get to spend even more time looking after your kitty and being there for them when they need me as well as taking care of your home (watering plants, garden, etc.) while you are away. I am equally happy to drop in to visit your cat(s) once or twice a day depending on your requirements.
I have a particular interest in the kitties that are anxious or shy. I like to help them feel safe and loved and give them plenty of space and time to get to know me. It gives me great satisfaction when someone tells me that their cat doesn't usually interact with strangers and is shy but with time and patience I am usually able to get close to the cat and make him or her feel safe with me, and maybe even give and receive a lovely cuddle in the process!
Thank you for reading this far. If you’d like a happy, well-loved cat and home while you are away, please get in touch with me, I am looking forward to hearing from you! 😻
As your cat sitter I will:
• Arrange a free meet & greet to get to know you and your cat • Provide fresh food and water for your cat daily • Clean the cat bowls and litter trays • Enjoy plenty of play time and cuddles • Send daily photos and updates

OxfordIrem is really lovely, most importantly with the cats, but also with people. Nothing is too much trouble. Our two girls loved her company and we loved receiving regular photos and videos. She also did an excellent job of watering all the garden pots. The house was immaculate when we got home and she even put her bed linen in the wash for me!

OxfordIt was Irem's first stay with our cats and she was absolutely brilliant with them. She took time to bond and get to know them as individuals. She was very gentle and sensitive with our more nervous cat. She's a great communicator, very conscientious and trustworthy and most importantly, the cats LOVED her (we can tell from the videos she sent us!)

.We couldn’t be happier with how well Irem looked after our cat when we went on holidays. Our cat is usually shy but quickly warmed up to Irem. We were getting updates, pictures and videos every day, she encouraged him to play but also gave him space when he needed it. Will definitely ask her to look after him again.
