A helping hand for happy paws 🐾

Need a helping paw? 🐾 It would be meow pleasure! Hello! 😺🐕 I’m Pauline, and I’m definitely a cat person! I grew up surrounded by furry friends and have always loved caring for them and making sure they’re living their best, meow-tastic lives. 😊 Don’t get me wrong, I adore dogs too! But if I absolutely had to pick a side... I’d choose the meow side😅😺 I’ve been pet-sitting for a number of years, fitting it around everyday life and work in the various places I’ve called home, both in the UK and abroad. 🏠 I’ve also spent several years volunteering with the RSPCA, fostering injured and abandoned cats and helping them get back on their paws. ❤️ This has given me hands-on experience with administering medication, monitoring health and behaviour, and, most importantly, helping cats feel safe and comfortable while they wait for their furr-ever homes. Every cat is different, and I’m very happy to follow their lead. Whether yours is a cuddle monster, a playful little menace, a professional napper or a suspicious introvert who plans to observe me from a safe distance, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention that suits them. 😸 And thanks to my many furry models over the years, I’ve become pretty handy with pet photography too...so expect plenty of cute photo updates! 📸 What I can do 🐾 I’m happy to tailor my visits to your pet’s usual routine and preferences. Communication is really important to me, and I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. - Feeding and fresh water - Medication where needed - Playtime, cuddles and plenty of attention - Brushing... if permission is granted! 😹 - Keeping them entertained until I inevitably lose their attention - Photo updates so you can see what they’re getting up to 📷 - Litter tray cleaning and general pet-related tidying - Any other little things needed to keep them comfortable, safe and happy until you’re home 🏠 My schedule 🐾 My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that suits you and your pet. Whether you’re heading away, busy with work or simply need a helping paw, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member. 😺🐾

Safety, trust & environment

My service depends on what you are looking for - I'm aware that each cat and each home has different needs and expectations so it will be about making sure there is great communication 😺 I am able to come feed the cat(s), play with them, give them cuddly attention, brush them and entertain them as much as they're willing to accept (until I am no longer interesting, which for some cats may be a short period of time 😝). I am able to take pictures and send them to you with an update as to how your pets are doing 📷 and proof they are still as cute even when you are away!

Pauline was fantastic. She was very communicative and even my very shy cat warmed up to her quickly. She is very experienced and clearly loves cats - I will definitely be requesting her again !

Pauline is fantastic! She gave me excellent updates every visit with lots of cute photos of my bunnies. She is always quick to respond to messages and she took care of everything exactly as requested. I will definitely book her again in the future.

Pauline took really great care of our Luna. She sent detailed reports with pictures and videos on a daily basis and made a genuine effort to gradually gain Luna’s confidence to make her feel as comfortable as possible around her. Her long time experience and love for pets clearly shows. I will definitely book her again and I very strongly recommend her to cat owners in the Cambridge area

Pauline was just incredible! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was so attentive to our cats. Sent daily updates and photos and was just an utter delight. I’ve already recommended her to other feline friends :)

Pauline was amazing! Super responsible, very responsive, and communication was great when I contacted her in Rover. She gave lots of updates and feedback during the visits, which really gave me peace of mind. My cats were very well taken care of, and I could tell she genuinely cared about them. Would definitely book again 😊

Pauline was truly incredible and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She cared for my cats with so much love, patience, and understanding, completely adapting to their individual personalities. My nervous boy, was gently won over thanks to her calm approach (and a grooming glove!), while my adventurous girl, was given the time and space she needed to feel confident and come over for attention. Pauline played with their toys, left the sweetest treats with smiley faces, and went above and beyond in every way. It was so clear that she genuinely adores cats and treats them like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my babies were in such caring hands - I truly couldn’t have found a better cat sitter and will absolutely be booking her again.
