Where Love Has Four Paws
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.

Ratings and reviews
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
Shona went above and beyond to look after our two cats while we were away
Shona is WONDERFUL and lovingly looked after our kitties as we would. I think our cats fell in love with her, and she went above and beyond and gave us lovely daily updates. We are so thankful and we really felt so assured that our cats were in such good hands :-)
Shona was just so wonderful to my family and most importantly my two cats. From the moment we met her we could sense she loved animals and cared for our situation and needs. We were able to have an incredible time away knowing our home and cats were with someone who was genuinely invested. We had very regular updates and photos. Shona is the best!

Schedule
I offer a high level of flexibility in my schedule and make every effort to accommodate the unique needs of both you and your beloved pets. As pet sitting is my primary profession, I am able to dedicate my time and attention to providing reliable, consistent care. I understand that every household and every pet has its own routine, and I pride myself on being adaptable, responsive, and considerate when arranging bookings. Whether you require regular visits, last-minute assistance, or tailored care, I will always do my best to work around your schedule and ensure your “furrbabies” are happy, comfortable, and well looked after.
