My schedule is pretty relaxed and varies. I offer 1 or 2 home visits a day, or 1 hour a day if that’s what you’d prefer. I am very happy to be your returning cat lady if this is what you require! I am pretty flexible and am happy to accommodate reasonable requests so please do get in contact and let's chat!

Safety, trust & environment
I will take care of your treasured pets as well as I would my own and will fit into their routines and the comforts that they are used to and enjoy with you, their pet Mum and Dads until you come home. I will take down lots of details and find out the requirements of your pets and also for the safety of your home. I will send you daily updates and photos and am happy to do extras such as water your plants, etc. I have an enhanced up to date DBS check (November 2025) and can provide lots of excellent reviews from previous and existing clients. My travel rate is free up to 3 miles from Aldershot and then there is a small additional charge for petrol for 3+ miles depending on time/distance. I do not charge an additional rate for more than one kitty. There will be an additional charge for a vet visit in the unlikely event that this is necessary. I am always flexible so please do get in touch and let me know how I can help.
Information Sheila Y. would like to know about your pet
At our Meet and Greet I will find out from you first of all the important information like, diet, medication, grooming, likes and dislikes, and then the fun stuff like their favourite games, treats, toys, hiding places (very important for example to find Tiddles likes to hide on top of the wardrobe!)
A typical day
A typical day will be whatever makes your pet feel happy, secure and comfortable. As all cats are different and have their own little personalities, so I will adapt to them and gauge what their rules and boundaries are, and their likes and dislikes (with help from their human Mum & Dad of course). If your fur baby wants to play lots and be creative then we can do that! By the same token, If your cat is a shy, gentle type that takes time to get used to this new human, then I am at my best at letting them take their time and telling me what they're comfortable with and what the rules are. This is their home and I will fit into their little world. I have a great deal of patience and I find that quite often a cat is just shy. I believe when you show cats kindness and that you respect their space, then being the intelligent creatures they are, pick up on this and will come to you when they are good and ready and will love you forever for this. They are after all, The Boss.

Cat care experience
Hi there Fellow Animal Lovers! My name is Sheila and I'm a 59 year young writer with lots of free time, I'm flexible, reliable and I would love to come look after your treasured pets. I'm not able to have cats where I live so I would love to come look after yours, pretty please! I have been a house/pet sitter for many years living in Greece, looking after my neighbours cats and since then I have done so for friends and family. Whilst in Greece, I fed, neutered and gave medication to the local stray cats, taking them to my lovely local vet there who still knows me very well. When I eventually relocated back to the UK I took as many of my stray cats as I could to Germany to be rehomed before I left. I miss each and every one of them to this day but at least I know I did my best for them.... I miss looking after all of my animals over the years and my dream is to one day return to Crete to help the stray cats again.
Reviews
100% would recommend! Girls were well taken care of and love their little gift 😉 Sheila was very thorough in the initial meet & my girls were very happy. Will definitely be booking again in future! Thank you so much x
Could not fault any aspect of Sheila's care for our two cats - she was incredibly diligent, considerate, and attentive during her visits. Highly recommend her as a sitter!
Brilliant as usual! Highly recommend Sheila! Rico loves his visits, we’re happy to have found a good, reliable cat sitter!
Sheila is always fabulous with our cat Wilbur. He’s also incredibly fussy and has some health issues so needs regular medication. Sheila is brilliant at giving him 100% care he needs as well as lots of love and attention. Our cat loves her and it makes holiday time a lot less stressful knowing he is in safe hands!
