Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat lover, owner & sitter 😺
I am very experienced with cats and kittens, given I grew up with siamese cats from birth! My family always had them and it gave me a huge fondness for the breed. My two boys are Siamese father and son duo and came from Battersea, they were given up when a new baby arrived. We’ve had them for nearly 10 years. I think if you can handle the demanding nature of Siamese cats then you can probably manage any type of cat. During the time we’ve had them, they’ve had some temporary illnesses, pancreatitis, ruptured anal glands and sadly one has kidney disease. Through all this I’ve ensured they had the best care and have made sure they were nursed to better health. Over the years I’ve lived with many different personalities. The stereotypical loud, bolshy characters and then the more nervous/ anxious ones. I easily flex to their needs and understand them well. Before our boys arrived we adopted an older white fluff ball ‘Bob’ from a friend. He was long haired and so we had to keep on top of his fur so it didn’t get matted. I love making animals feel secure and loved. Giving them attention and care on their terms and reading their body language. I’m a pro at looking after cats- feeding, cleaning up after them, spotting when they’re feeling under the weather and being proactive about their care and happiness. I also have experience with dogs, looking after and walking my friends medium size cockapoo and walking my neighbours small labradoodle. I’m happy to look after your pets in your home, coming in a couple of times a day to feed, clean up, replenish water and give some love and attention. I understand our pets are family so I can provide updates and photos while you are away. *holiday rates will apply for uk national holiday periods and during all local school holiday periods*

Ratings and reviews
This is the second time we've booked Sharon to look after our two elderly cats whilst on holiday for a few days. Sharon was responsible for providing oral injections to both cats and feeding twice daily. All went smoothly, Sharon is very pleasant to deal with and super reliable, will definitely book Sharon again.
Sharon was great with our cat Gatsby and sent lots of photos of our cat which was great and took fantastic care of him - would thoroughly recommend
Sharon is a fantastic cat sitter! Highly recommend. Came home to three very happy cats and a nice tidy home. I really appreciated the regular updates while we were away on holiday. I’ll definitely book again 😀
Sharon has looked after our cat several times and is brilliant. She takes better photos than us so we really appreciate those pictures. We will definitely use Sharon as we take several trips a year .
We wouldn't go to anyone else, Sharon is a great person and your cats will be in safe hands with her! She even brought us some tomatoes from her garden which were delicious 😋
Thank you for looking after Cartel. His medication was given as instructed and I received a couple of photo updates during the stay. Cartel seemed happy and settled when we returned.

Schedule
I’m a freelancer and work weekdays from my home, and I can adjust my hours around pet care commitments. I have 2 cats of my own and have done so for over 20 years. I’m familiar with all aspects of cat care, feeding, replenishing water (mine are v particular and like it in a glass on the windowsill!), cleaning cat litter trays & bowls, giving meds if needed. Mine love brushing, so they have their own brush and pretty much demand daily brushes. For dog walking requests i am happy to tailor length of walk based on the dogs size/ breed/ age.
- CatsSharon can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
- Let me know if your pet has any special needs, regarding food or special items they love. Obviously before I care for anyone’s animals I would expect a full briefing on their pet and their requirements.
