Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat sitter in Saltdean serving the wider Brighton/Seahaven area.
I am a professional musician living in Saltdean and have grown up with cats in the family. I adore them and their often quirky behaviour. As well as growing up with cats, I lived in a 2-person flatshare with cats for 3 years, often having sole caring responsibility. I hope to have a cat (or 2) in the future but for now I will settle for sitting!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
First and foremost I will follow a client's instructions and guidance on what level of outdoor access their pet needs, whether it is being very conscious when opening the front door in case of flight risk, or whether their pet's outdoor time is strictly monitored or not. Every pet is different, and I will try and integrate myself into their household in a way that is sympathetic to their needs. Unless I'm directly instructed just to pop in and do feeding/topping up water etc I will usually sit down and do a bit of admin on my laptop and be a non-threatening presence in their home, so the decision to sit by me or pop on my lap is theirs. I do love to interact with pets especially if they're missing their owners, so if they are more confident pets I will try to offer a continuity so you do not arrive back to affection-starved animals.
Ratings and reviews
As always, Joe is trustworthy and attentive. I look forward to receiving daily photos and videos of my cat and her kittens.
Joe is a great cat sitter, friendly, attentive to the needs of our cat and respectful of our home. The photo and video updates were great to keep us assured that Boo was being well looked after and happy. We returned from holiday to a happy kitty, thanks Joe!
Joe is attentive, diligent and reliable. I think he takes better care of our cat than we do. My mind is entirely at ease wjen I'm away knowing my cat is in great hands and getting lots of love and attention!
We always have a great time when Joe looks after Junko. Lots of updates and a very happy cat when we’re back. Thanks Joe
Joe is a lovely person and when he popped over to meet me and my foster cat, he put me at ease. He is knowledgeable about cats which I found re-assuring as I have one foster nursing mum with four kittens. Joe sent me daily photos and videos. Will call on Joe again, when in need of a cat-sitter.
Our cats loved being looked after by Joe. He was so attentive with them, sending us lots of photos whilst we were away, and we came home to two happy cats. We would definitely use Joe again.

Schedule
I'm a freelance musician, so I can regularly offer sitting at times out of reach of the regular office worker. My hours fluctuate so I always aim to keep on top of my availability calendar.
