Aunty Nadine's petsitting services
Hi, pleased to meet you! My name is Nadine and you could say I'm all about the animals... Grew up surrounded by the usual assortment of pets; cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and went on to study zoology at uni. Also study canine behaviour for interest, and regularly volunteer at a wildlife hospital/rescue centre. Fun fact - have worked at (and still work at) zoos large and small, so although this is unlikely to be relevant for cat in a flat (unless you have a very tall house) am quite comfortable mucking out giraffes or feeding penguins etc too :) My current lifestyle and living arrangements mean it's sadly not practical for me to have my own cat right now, so here I am, ready and willing to dote on yours instead! My aim as a sitter is always to provide whatever each individual cat likes best - be that endless cuddles and fusses, playtimes with favourite toys, or simply quiet company, tasty meals served and litter boxes dealt with (oh and Dreamies of course...everyone loves Dreamies, right..?) Please note the two following important points before requesting a sit: 1) I usually have to commute to work several days a week (3 on average), which I know many cats are used to and fine with - but if this isn't the case for you, I might not be the best match 2) Please be aware I do not have a car, so would be reliant on public transport links being a realistic option where you live! If this all still sounds good to you, I would love the chance to get to know you and your kitty - feel free to message me with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As well as coming home to happy and relaxed cats after your well earned holiday, I will of course be more than happy to send you plenty of updates and photos while you are away. I am very happy to take in any mail/parcels for you, and water houseplants/your garden if you let me know that this is something you would like. I am always genuinely touched and honoured when someone choose to trust me with their cat and their home, and I always try to ensure you come back to a clean and tidy environment that was just as you left it!
Ratings and reviews
Nadine is incredibly kind, friendly, and thoughtful. She stayed overnight for three days to look after my two cats and bonded with them straight away. Her daily updates and photos showed just how happy and relaxed they were in her care. She followed every instruction perfectly and made communication easy throughout. Nadine is truly professional, and I would happily trust her with my cats again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional cat care.
Nadine was amazing! She sent me a lot of pictures and kept me up to day. She followed their routine and played with them whenever they got bored. I came home to 2 perfectly happy kittens. Thank you Nadine! 🥰
My cat always has a great time with Nadine. He is very playful and she finds lots of ways to help him burn off energy! Nadine truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are cared for, entertained, safe and loved.
Nadine was extremely caring and thoughtful when looking after my boys recently for 3 days/nights. She was very professional, reliable and prompt with communications and sent regular (& detailed) updates and photos over the course of her stay, which put my mind at ease. The boys were both happy and I returned to a very tidy flat. Highly recommend!!
Lovely to have Nadine come by again! Great sitter that provides lots of updates of playtime and cuddles :)
Nadine did an excellent job looking after our 5 kitties whilst we were away! She made sure to spend a good amount of time with them and send detailed updates daily which really helped keep me and my husband at ease. It is clear that she genuinely enjoys caring for animals and we’d definitely recommend her and book again. Thanks so much!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
As mentioned in my main bio, catsitting is something I absolutely love doing - however this currently is alongside a job which involves me commuting into London on a part time basis - most typically Sun/Mon/Tue, and then usually a Weds morning in Rickmansworth caring for all the wildlife hospital patients (your cat will have SOOO much fun smelling the clothes I've worn whilst being around hedgehogs and fox cubs and the like!) I'm an early morning person by nature, so even on a day when I am heading off to work, I make sure there is still plenty of time for cuddles, games, breakfast and litter box duties etc first :)
