Pet care experience
Cat person
Hi there! I'm Lanna - a seasoned cat owner/fosterer/carer who's available for daily drop-in cat sitting. I have previously worked in cat rescue centres and have a calm, quiet energy, so I anticipate your kitties and I quickly becoming firm friends. Cat-sitting & experience: I grew up with cats, and I've previously worked as an animal carer in shelters and volunteered for various rescue charities - both in physical care and in admin/social management. I have experience with administrating medications and dealing with behavioural issues, and am aware of a lot of medical terms and issues, so am very confident in corresponding with vets. I have a very calm and quiet energy, so I'm very well-placed to look after your moggy! Availability: I work from home full time, so my availability is often flexible or can be discussed & altered - I’m always open for discussion :)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a very calm energy and will always go at a cat’s pace - if they want to hide/chill on their own then that’s fine, I’ll do everything I can to build trust. I’ll ensure that all windows/doors etc. are kept secured during my visits, and that any admin around cat flaps is sorted.
Ratings and reviews
Lanna is a fantastic cat sitter and we were so lucky that she cared for our Miso and Yoshi. Both our boys were so well looked after when we were away and even our timid Miso warmed up so quickly which only shows that she really understands cats and knows how to gain their trust. Lanna played with both of them each time she came in for her visit which made our boys trust her and like her very quickly. We loved the detailed reports and the photos and we loved the fact that she interacted with our cats so much providing play and plenty of strokes and love. We felt at ease when away knowing that our boys had someone so caring and loving taking care of them. When we got back both Miso and Yoshi were happy and their litter trays and food bowls were very clean and in order. Also, she is very communicative, quick to respond and was checking things she was unsure of etc. Overall Lanna has been wonderful and we will certainly be using her again hoping she is free! Thank you so much Lanna.
Lanna has been cat sitting for us for the second time now, and we couldn’t be happier! She clearly loves and cares about cats, and it shows in how comfortable and happy our two boys are with her. I know they’re safe and well looked after with Lanna, and they also have lots of fun! We love her updates and the photos she sends, which we always check together as a family. We’ll definitely be using Lanna again, she’s fantastic!
Helanna did a fabulous job of caring for my precious little kitties and my home whilst we were away recently. Regular, detailed updates, with photos were received and greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to seeing/booking Helanna again soon. Thank you so much Helanna! Xxx
Lanna looked after our two young cats for almost a week this time and it went so smoothly! We are so grateful for her witty reports and abundant fun photos of our little furbabies! Couldn't be happier to have had Lanna as our catsitter!
Lanna was absolutely amazing! She made sure our cats were happy, comfortable, well-hydrated, and staying cool during the heat. One of the highlights of our trip was receiving her detailed reports and photos. I could tell Lanna genuinely cared about our two boys and they loved her. We highly recommend Lanna and would happily book her again!
Lanna looked after our cat Raisin for a week while we away and she was brilliant. She was extremely thoughtful and caring about Raisin's needs, gave her a lot of time and attention and sent us really detailed updates and photos. A pleasure to deal with and would recommend Lanna to anyone.

Schedule
I work from home, so a lot of the time my availability is flexible or can be discussed & altered - it's always up for discussion :)
- CatsHelanna can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I always ask about food & litter preferences and locations, water stations and any specific needs. I’ll also ask that the details of your vet are sent over to me - just in case - and that a carrier is left handy if applicable.
