Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home and animal with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ll follow your instructions to the letter, keep doors locked, and ensure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you know everything is going smoothly. I’m also happy to offer a free meet-and-greet before any booking so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

Information Nicola P. would like to know about your pet

I have experience in injecting, tablets and liquid medication so please let me know if anything is required. Let me know what you kitty likes, they might enjoy play time but also might be quite frightened by new people which is totally understandable. I can work to how ever you and your pet likes spending time to get them to play and have some company or just try and reassure them and ensure they have everything they need to be ok while you are away.

A typical day

Upon arrival I like to sit down and let the cats come to me, maybe a bit of play time until they feel comfortable. Then some food and continue with some play time and fuss if they would like! I will take the cats lead :-)

Purr-fect care for your kitty

Cat care experience

Hi, I’m Nicola! I’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember and have cared for cats for over 20 years. I currently share my home with Theo, my sweet (and slightly spoiled!) kitty, and I know just how much peace of mind it brings to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family member. As a teenager, I worked in a local cattery for 5 years, where I loved meeting new cats and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. These days, I regularly do drop-ins for my mum’s cat, so I’m well-versed in feeding, playtime, litter changes, and sending plenty of photo updates. I’m also happy to water plants and take care of little extras like putting the bins out. Theo has medical needs, so I’m comfortable administering medication and handling special care instructions. I’m happy to offer a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cat and talk through what’s needed for your booking. I can’t wait to meet some new kitties and make new feline friends!

Nicola loves cats and has owned 2 herself for many years. She has looked after my cat while we have been away on holiday for a long time and is very reliable and caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend her .

Nicola was amazing with our cat who can sometimes be very wary of new people. She took the time to spend some time with him beforehand so he got used to her. During her time looking after her, I got regular updates with pictures. You could clearly see he was in great hands. I highly recommend Nicola and you wouldn’t regret it!
