Cat skills

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I do what the owners ask me to do, which is usually feeding, litter trays, playing and brushing. I can give meds (not injections, I don't like needles).

Information Susan S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your cat is allowed out while you are away - if you are happy with that, I will try not to worry.

A typical day

It honestly depends on the cat - I've known some that will plonk themselves down on me for a cuddle as soon as I arrive but most aren't quite like that. If a cat is nervous or shy, I give them time to get to know me. (I find talking to them in Italian often works!)

Reliable cat sitter

Cat care experience

I love all animals. I have been owned by five cats, currently only one old lady. All my cats, and two of my dogs, were rescued. I can’t bear the thought of anyone hurting animals or of them not having good homes. It took one of my cats eight years to sit on my lap, so I know you have to be patient with them. I’ve published a book about cat care and a booklet about my life with cats. I have experience of all kinds of animals, and may branch into dog walking later. I even worked on a Croft on the Isle of Lewis once. I have a valid enhanced DBS certificate.

Couldn’t thank Susan enough. I have very shy and antisocial cat. But she ate all her food and seemed to be very happy. Thank you for everything and frequent updates.

3rd time Susan has looked after my cat. She's a lovely caring person and truly loves cats. Kept me up to date everyday with a few photo's via WhatsApp. Highly recommend

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
