Your Friendly Neighbourhood Sitter!

Hello! My name is Hope, I’m 31 years old, I’m a Youth Worker, and I adore animals. My first cat, TJ, was a rescue. We had him from the age of 16 and he lived to the age of 23. He passed away a few years ago, but I believe he lived a long and happy life because we gave him the love and care he needed. When he was 16, we were told he had only had 6months to live, but he continued to live an extra 6-7 years. I miss him everyday. TJ was on medication for his heart and kidneys, and he was on specialised food. If your cat needs specialised food and/or medication, I am more than happy to provide your cat the care they require. I now have another cat, Ivy. She is 4 years old, and we rescued her from Bahrain. She is a calico, and an absolute drama queen. She is funny, sassy, vocal, ‘spicy’ yet sweet. If you have a calico, I’m sure you know what I mean! I also care for my neighbours cats, including a Bengal. He also has specific requirements (for example, extra playtime to keep him stimulated). I have always been an animal lover. Prior to having cats, I used to own dogs, fish, and rabbits. I also care for my neighbours guinea pigs and dogs when they are away. I regularly care for 4 dogs in my apartment building. This includes regular walks and sleep-overs. If you pick me as your pet-sitter, I will not only provide the basics, but I’ll spend lots of time with them to ensure they are happy and not lonely. You will receive plenty of updates via WhatsApp, including pictures and videos. Please note that I am unable to care for cats/dogs with transmissible viruses or diseases as I don’t want to risk transferring germs and sickness to other animals and to my own cat.

Thanks again to Hope for being such a reliable and considerate sitter for my cats. Hope really takes the time to make sure they are happy and all the needed tasks are done. She keeps good consistent communication which makes everything so much easier and leaves you with peace of mind.

Hope was fantastic with my cat! She provided regular updates (photos and videos) and made sure my cat was well cared for with lots of play time too! I could tell my kitty was very comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend her!

Hope is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our baby boy is well looked after. We even had our flight delayed and Hope, in a matter of minutes made sure to visit our baby boy to give him comfort and extra food. Hope is not just a cat sitter, she is an amazing person, most reliable, caring and trustworthy.Thanks to her, we could happily enjoy time away, knowing our baby boy in getting the best care in the world, all provided by Hope. We can't thank you enough for your hard work and dedication!

Hope is absolutely the most amazing cat sitter and person in the world. So, so caring, calm and patient. As usual, she looked after our baby boy with so much love and he absolutely enjoyed every moment spent with her. Thank you, Hope!
