Care with Love from a Cat Mum! 🐾
Hi! I’m a full-time legal marketer working from home in SE London, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present and attentive to your cat’s needs, whether that’s feeding, playtime, or simply quiet company. I’ve been living with and caring for cats almost my entire life, with from curious 6-week-old kittens to wise old souls of 21. I currently share my home with two beloved fur babies: Healmon (short for “healing monster”), a little crazy ginger boy, and Goma (“sesame” in Japanese), a calm tabby girl. They’ve been with me since they were babies. They love garden time and occasionally bring me surprise “gifts” from their adventures. I also volunteer at Wildlife Aid, an animal shelter at Leatherhead, so I’m calm and confident handling any surprises your cat may bring in. I have also undergone pet (dog and cat) first aid and CPR training. I believe in earning cats trust with patience, empathy, and respect for their unique personalities. I’m very hands-on and always treat every cat I look after as if they were my own. I keep owners updated regularly so you know exactly how your cat is doing, and I never say no to an extra cuddle (if your kitty is into it, of course!). Whether your cat needs a calm presence, a playful friend, or just someone reliable to make sure everything’s perfect while you’re away, I’ve got you covered.

Ratings and reviews
Shannon stepped in at very short notice - the next day - to look after my cat Ameera, and she was fantastic. She clearly knows and understands cats — she picked up on Ameera's feeding schedule right away and used great initiative, keeping both water fountains topped up and clean, staying on top of cleaning the litter box, and washing the feeding bowls - great, as hygiene is very important for cats 🐾 I received daily photos and videos, including Shannon sitting with and grooming Ameera, which put my mind completely at ease. Came home to a spotless apartment (litter area included!) and a happy, well-groomed, contented cat. 🐾 Personable, reliable, communicative and trustworthy — I highly recommend booking Shannon - you will not be disappointed 🐾🐾 Samantha
Shannon was fantastic. She followed instructions to a T, was incredibly thorough, and send lots of videos, photos, and written updates. Best of all, the cats loved her. Thanks so much, Shannon!
We booked Shannon for a second time and she was great with our cat as before. Shannon looked after him brilliantly and sent daily updates so we always knew how he was doing. We look forward to booking Shannon again and I'm sure our cat does too! Thanks so much!
Shannon was an excellent Cat-Sitter. Highly recommend. She was reliable, professional and took great care of our two cats. She updated us with photos and videos. She did a wonderful job. If you need a cat sitter, book Shannon!
Shannon is an amazing and trustworthy sitter! She took an excellent care of our cat and provided regular updates on her! Shannon is very responsive and communication was great! We left during a heatwave and we were worried about the heat affecting our cat but Shannon ensured she was hydrated and cool! It was the first time leaving our cat with a pet sitter and Shannon was very reassuring and our holiday was amazing without worrying about our little girl! I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who loves cats and has a lot of experience love and patience! l will definitely use her services again! Thank you Shannon for taking such a great care of Nova, playing and give her favourite treats! We returned home to a very happy 🐈⬛! Thank you again for your amazing care!xx
Shannon was wonderful with my cats and very communicative and reliable - responding quickly and sending me updates and photos. She instantly won the cats' trust - I think they might like her more than me! Highly recommend.

Schedule
I work from home full-time in legal marketing, which means I’m flexible and able to give your pets all the time and attention they deserve.
- CatsShannon can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
- It’s really helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, any medical needs, likes and dislikes, and how they interact with people or other animals. The more I understand their personality and habits, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
