Joanna s.'s House Sitting

Hello my name is Jo (Joanna),I am a 39 year old single woman who lives in Saffron Walden, and adores cats. I have pet care experience from a child, as we always had a dog. But since my late twenties when my first cat adopted me, I have fallen in love with cats! My first cat was a one eyed half feral ginger I named Lez. Since then I’ve had black rescue cats Lola and Charlie and currently Sheila who is a very sassy tabby and white cat. For the last 5 years I have been caring for cats regularly within the Saffron Walden area, and I have recently set up as a sole trader to concentrate on my pet services business. I would love to look after your cats whilst you are away, I can give you peace of mind with daily pictures and updates sent to you. I will give lots of cuddles, play games and any grooming needed/allowed. As well as feeding, refilling timer bowls, cleaning litter trays and giving fresh water. I can also administer medication. Other jobs I am happy to do as well include; put out and bring back in bins, water plants, bring in parcels and mail etc. I have over 10 years personal experience caring for my own cats as well as over 10 years cat sitting for friends, family and customers of mine. Please feel free to contact myself for further information and availabilities. I look forward to hearing from you, and of course meeting your cats (other pets).

Jo was great, very communicative and got on well with Arlo the cat! Really appreciated the visit first too to meet each other before committing on the site.

Jo was absolutely brilliant with our two boys. We’d decided that they were being made too anxious by cattery stays, and Jo was available to come in twice a day to look after them. Her kindness, professionalism and genuinely cheerful personality made this decision the best one we’ve made in a while. We had reports back from her after each visit and loads of photos which put us completely at ease while we were away. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Jo!

Jo was brilliant, she took great care of Merlin and we felt complete peace of mind while away. Merlin loved getting his daily visit and attention and we loved getting our photos and updates!

Absolutely wonderful. Felt at such ease leaving our 3 cats with Joanna. Lots of photos sent. They loved her (with one very picky bengal who he feels comfortable with is a very rare find!)
