Pet care experience

Experienced Chelmsford Cat Sitter

I am currently a student studying an Animal Welfare and Conservation Masters, allowing me to be flexible with my visits. I previously worked as a Cattery Assistant at a local Cattery, where I have worked with most breeds and temperaments of cats. I also regularly looked after cats who need medication, so I am confident with giving all formats of medication besides injections. I have been doing drop in cat sitting for the last 7 years, throughout my time at university in Brighton and when I was living at my parents house in Hertfordshire. I am now permanently living in Essex with my own fur baby, a fluffy black Siberian cat named Marmite. I’ve also grown up with lots of small animals including guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters so I’m experienced in a range of different animal care. I give photo updates on each visit, and am happy to do extra tasks that need doing such as watering plants. Please reach out if you’re looking for a cat sitter, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about my services and arrange a meet and great beforehand. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer drop in visits where I can give your cat food, water, change their litter and attention through play and pets (only if they want to). I have an indoor cat so am always careful with doors in case of escapee cats that are meant to stay inside.

Katrina was great looking after Tash, at quite short notice due to a friend's cancellation she was super accommodating and excellent at communication throughout the process. Tash was very well looked after, would highly recommend Katrina for your pets!

Katrina was reliable and sent us regular updates and photos of our cats. She even managed to get our very shy cat to warm up to her :)

First time using Rover and Katrina was amazing! She looked after our 3 cats for the week and sent us daily pictures in both morning and evening visits. 100% would recommend booking with Katrina, I know for certain we will be reaching out again in the future 😊

Was lovely having Katrina watch my cats. Everything was followed directly as asked and had no issues! Easy to keep in touch despite the time zones.
