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.

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.

We made the absolute best choice with Clare! The kindness and professionalism that she has shown with our cat is outstanding. She has kept us updated about our cat every day. She spent a good 30 mins feeding him, cleaning his litter and giving him all the attention that he needed. She is very knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to book her again. Clare is the person to book if you would like to have peace of mind while you are away. She is very punctual (and we all now that cats love routine!) and she will take amazing pictures of your cat too!! She is sort of a cat whisperer and our cat adored her. We are looking forward to book her again.

Clare was amazing looking after our two cats while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos after every visit! Our trip home ended up being delayed and Clare was able to pop in and feed them at the last minute, which was a huge help and took away a lot of stress. We came back to two very happy and well fed cats! We’d happily book Clare again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable cat sitter! 🐱😊

Clare was brilliant looking after our two boys, she kept us updated with lots of photos/videos, and the cats seemed super happy having cuddles and playtime with her! While on holiday I looked forward to the daily updates on their antics. Will absolutely book with Clare for future holidays, highly recommend! ✨

Clare was absolutely brilliant, we highly recommend her! Clare went above and beyond to take great care of our cat, Mimo. Mimo is usually wary of new people but she loved Clare and they got on beautifully. Mimo got lots of play and fuss. Clare sent us photos and updates every day. She even took out the bins and watered the plants. We couldn't ask for a better cat sitter.

Pets

A typical day

When I visit your kitty I won't just feed and do the litter tray I'll also provide company, groom, play and fuss them or respect their space if they're shy.

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
