Shelby’s human Mum cat sitting service

I live in Poole. I’m a registered nurse with the NHS and therefore DBS/Police checked. I have also ran a couple of AirBnBs in recent years and made Superhost status both times. So, I know how to look after a home. I had cat, Shelby, who was my soul cat and very much my family. Sadly she passed last year and I have not adopted another cat as I needed time and now I am hopefully moving house soon, staying within the Dorset area. I gave my Shelby the best food I could afford and kept up with her flea and worming treatments every three months. I am very adept with a flea drop dropper! She had her vaccinations and medical check ups every year and a decent insurance plan. She was a wonderful companion and emotional support. So I understand that someone’s cat is a member of their family and I will look after your fur babies with the utmost care and dedication. Before Shelby I grew up with cats in the family. They were black-and-white and called Button and Tootsie. One day my Mum just bought home these two kittens that she had rescued and I have adored cats ever since and learned to care for them from when I was a child. My nursing schedule is within normal working hours, which works very well with cat sitting. I am delighted to be signing up for cat sitting duties. I have also applied to be a cats protection volunteer to give back to the felines of this world in honour of my late Shelby who gave me so much love.

I can provide one or two visits per day or stay overnight. I live in Dorset but will consider anywhere in the South. I can clean out litter trays, ensure food and water is fresh as a minimum. But on request I can brush the kitty and give them medication if required at your direction. I will offer the cat playtime, pets and cuddles. If you are like me and sing little songs to your cat I will even do that too! I will send photos and updates. If you have a kitty spy camera I am absolutely fine with it. I used to do the same. They can be very reassuring. I’m a keen gardener so I can care for your plants indoors and outdoors too. Happy to do things like put the bin out and pick the mail up from the doormat. Just let me know.

As a nurse I am Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checked.
