I will happily engage them in playful, enriching activities with their favorite toys, ensuring they stay stimulated, happy, and comfortable in your absence.

Pet care experience
I'm Shona from North West London and 40-years-old. I am compassionate and caring, and have a genuine love for cats ❤️ I have recently passed a feline anatomy and physiology course with a distinction. I have three indoor cats of my own; Mimi, Coco and Mika who bring me joy and comfort. I've been around cats since I was a child. Cats are very relaxing to be around and in the past has helped me through anxiety. Cats are just awesome 😊 I’ll care for your cats and home like they’re my own 🐾🏡 Enjoy peace of mind knowing your cats and home are in caring hands 🙌🏼 My mum likes to join me on my visits sometimes, please do let me know if you are happy for her to come along with me to your home. There is no pressure if that is something you are not keen on 🩷 I do have social media pages where I upload my pictures, please do let me know if I am okay to post pictures of your furbabies (I will never include your home nor any personal information). Feel free to have a look via the links below 🙂 I am happy to cover visits and stays in NW1, NW2, NW3, NW6, NW8, NW10 and NW11, and happy to do stays outside of these postcodes. I am also happy to send more references if requested.

Reviews
Shona was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend her. With less than a week to find a new cat-sitter, with our previous one moving to Scotland, Shona really came to the rescue. Shona sent detailed, daily updates and an array of professional-looking photographs. She took time to play with the cats, clean and replenish food and water bowls, and clear their litter tray, and you could really tell that she loved spending time with them. It really made our time away so much more enjoyable and relaxing, knowing that we could trust Shona to show Misty and Bandit the same love, care, and attention in our absence. Thanks Shona!
Shona was absolutely amazing with our cat, Finn ☺️ From the very first check-in, we felt completely reassured, her updates were incredibly detailed, and the photos were so good! She treated him like he was her own, spent extra time with him, and it was obvious he absolutely loved her 😻 He can be a bit particular, but with Shona he seemed so relaxed and happy. We also had a small “cat parent panic” moment when Finn seemed a bit constipated, and Shona was genuinely concerned and kept such a close eye on him. We were all very relieved once the situation was... resolved 😂 Couldn’t recommend Shona more. She’s caring, thoughtful, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We’d feel completely confident leaving Finn with her again 🙏
Shona is so wonderful! She is incredibly kind and caring and so professional- we are so lucky to have found her!
Shona has been amazing - she looked after Mia & Vincent for 12 days - sharing lovely pics of the 2 and keeping us always updated with a super challenging 11 hours time zone difference :) when we got back our kittens were so happy - we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter Thank you so much <3
