Caring Cat Companion - Norwich
Hi, I’m Clare—a lifelong cat lover based in Norwich. I'm pet First Aid/CPR trained and DBS checked so you know with me your cats are in safe hands. Cats have been a part of my life since day one, and I currently share my home with a beloved cat of my own! Beyond my personal experience, I have built a successful cat-sitting reputation with consistent five-star reviews. Working part-time allows me to be highly responsive for last-minute bookings. I have extensive experience with complex health needs, so I’m completely comfortable administering oral medications or eye drops and sticking to strict routines. I am Level 2 Pet First Aid trained including CPR and I completed this course in July 2026. I love sending regular photo and video updates through your preferred method. I’ll treat your kitties with the same love and attention I give my own, ensuring their routine stays perfect and stress-free while you're away. I understand every kitty is a unique character. Whether they are bold or shy, I respect how they wish to interact and have a soft spot for rescues, understanding the delicacy and patience they often require. A visit from me is about more than just food and litter; I dedicate 30 minutes of quality time to your kitty for focused interaction, grooming, or quiet companionship. I’ll send photos, videos, and a quick update after every visit so you never feel out of the loop.

I have a DBS certificate which I'd be happy to show you. Whilst you're away I'm also happy to put your bin out and bring in your post/parcels.
Ratings and reviews
Clare is very attentive and sweet with our high energetic cat. She is very punctual and she always pays attention to little details that make her service stand out. Thank you for your help with our cat.
We had Clare look after our cats once again and she was fantastic! Crumpet was in her weird moods and was being picky with food but Clare was patient, made sure she was well looked after and kept us updated the whole time (Crumpet says sorry Clare!!). We came back to happy cats. 100% recommend!! Thank you ☺️
Claire was super responsive and flexible considering we asked last minute, and took great care of both our babies!
Claire was a fantastic cat sitter for Kiko and Princess! She sent daily updates with photos and I could tell the cats enjoyed Claire's company 😊 I definitely recommend Claire and I will be using her again in the future!
Mushroom was really well looked after. For a really shy cat Clare helped her feel comfortable and got to the point of wanting fusses and to play. We got lots of lovely video and photo updates. It was very nice to come home to a cat who clearly wasn’t at all stressed
Clare was great for Bonnie. Daily updates with photos and it seemed that Bonnie (despite being a shy timid cat with strangers) really warmed to Clare which was great to see. Would recommend.

Schedule
I always aim to protect your cat’s existing routine within these typical windows: Breakfast: 07:00 – 10:00 Lunch: 12:00 – 14:30 Dinner: Between 17:00 - 20:00 If this doesn't work for you no worries, let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.
- CatsClare can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- To give your cat the best possible care, please let me know: The 'Safe' Spots: Does your cat have a favourite hiding place where they feel secure? Preferences: Are there specific toys or treats they absolutely love (or ones I should avoid)? The 'Houdini' Skills: Any clever tricks for opening doors, cupboards, or window latches I should be aware of? Health & Habits: Any particular quirks in their routine, or signs that they might be feeling under the weather? Where would I find the cat carrier in an emergency? Knowing these little details helps me ensure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away
