I have been a dedicated cat sitter since 2018, though my experience goes much deeper—my own beloved cat lived to the incredible age of 21 years and 7 months. I understand the care and attention required for every stage of a cat's life. My longest booking to date was a three-month stay for an owner on sabbatical in Japan, so I am well-versed in maintaining long-term routines and home security. As a freelance journalist and translator based here in Kingston, I bring a high level of communication, reliability, and attention to detail to every visit. My professional background means I am used to following precise "to-do lists" and providing clear, articulate updates and photos so you can travel with total peace of mind. I am also happy to communicate in Japanese, French, Italian as well as in English. I recognize that every cat (and their other furry or not-so-furry friends!) has a unique character. I always prioritize listening to the owner first to fully understand your pet's requirements and how I can best support them. Dog walker experiences date back to 2021. Latest News: We've expanded the family! We recently adopted a wonderful kitten from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home (you can see her in my profile photo!). Having recently cared for my own cat who lived to be over 21, it has been a joy to experience the kitten stage all over again.
