Loving Cat Sitter in Leatherhead

Hi, I’m Shima, a lifelong cat lover based in Leatherhead. I recently started offering cat-sitting services both in my home and at your place, depending on what works best for you and your feline friend. I had the joy of sharing four wonderful years with my own long-haired ginger cat, Charlie, so I truly understand just how special our cats are , and how important it is to know they’re in loving, trustworthy hands while you're away. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a garden and a cat flap for those kitties who like outdoor access. We also have a dedicated room set up for cats, as my Charlie loved having his own space to relax. I’m currently at home full-time with my baby, so your cat would need to be comfortable around a little one. In return, they’ll receive lots of gentle attention and a peaceful, loving environment. If you'd like to have a quick chat or arrange a virtual tour to see if it’s a good fit, I’d be happy to connect and make sure everything feels right for you and your cat.

Jinxy was in such caring hands again! This was the second time Shima looked after Jinxy, and we couldn’t have been happier. She was so caring and attentive, kept us regularly updated with lovely pictures, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and will happily have her look after Jinxy again!

Shima was wonderful with our cat and fish while we were away. She kept us updated with lovely photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and that says it all! We’d happily book Shima again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. ❤️

Schedule

“I’m currently on maternity leave, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of time at home. Caring for pets easily fits into my daily routine—I can plan visits around feeding, playtime, and cuddles without any rush. I enjoy spending time with animals throughout the day, so giving them attention, walks, or drop-in visits naturally fits into my week.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in their own home, I always try to follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, playtime, litter tray cleaning, or simply keeping them company. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, and I give plenty of attention, cuddles, or quiet companionship depending on what each pet prefers. If a pet is staying in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space where they can settle in, have their own cosy spot, and receive lots of love and care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while their owner is away.
