Pet care experience

Life is always better with cats :)

I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, not just cats. I made the decision to leave my job in higher education to finally follow what feels right to me — caring for animals and giving them the time and attention they deserve. I share my life with four cats — three boys and one girl, and my girl is disabled, so I have first-hand experience caring for cats who need extra patience, gentleness, and understanding. My cats are my world, and I genuinely structure my life around their wellbeing. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for cats with additional needs, whether that’s mobility challenges, anxiety, or simply needing a calmer, slower approach. I don’t believe in rushed visits. I’m very happy to spend quality time with your cats at no extra cost, so they’re not left feeling lonely or unsettled while you’re away. I understand how important routine, familiarity, and reassurance are — especially for rescue or sensitive cats.

Sam was simply amazing! We had constant contact throughout our trip, with lots of videos and updates that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely helpful, reliable, and took great care of our cats. They bonded with her very quickly, which was lovely to see. We came home to happy, well-looked-after cats and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Sam!

Sam was incredible at looking after my 9 year old ragdoll while I was home for Christmas. She sent me videos every day and kept me updated and even scaled a literal wall when my gate broke on Christmas Day morning. Would 100% recommend Sam <3

This was Sam’s second time of looking after Poppy. As previously, she took videos every day, and looked after her so well, including spending time with her, which we has asked her to do. We couldn’t be more happy with her care and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again when the need arises.

Sam was the best cat sitter we have ever used. She is so attentive to our cat's needs and individual routine, visiting as many times as was needed to ensure that she saw him daily. She also took great care of my daughter's guinea pigs, indoor plants, and garden. Her communication is excellent. We will definitely be booking her again.
