“Gul was absolutely amazing. My husband and I traveled did two weeks and wanted our 5 month old kitten to be boarded so he would be alone too often at home. She was so patient with him, sent pictures everyday and gave him all the cuddles. I would highly recommend Gul to anyone looking for someone e caring and attentive to take care of their pet.”
“Honestly must say Geraldine is a joy. It’s wonderful to have someone so caring looking after your pet when you have to travel. Our pup can be a little shy and go on hunger strike with new people but Geraldine has won him over quickly! We got daily updates with pics of all the fun he was having while we were gone and it seemed he was on his own luxury holiday! ! I’ll never be using anyone else if given the choice!”
“Another lovely stay with Julia! Nora loves her time at Julia’s- she keeps us updated with pictures and videos and we can always tell Nora’s been so well looked after and has had a great time. Thank you so much, Julia for caring for Nora so well.”
“Super positive experience leaving my dog Yoda with Christina. She and her fiancé are really nice people and have a lovely apartment with all the space a dog might need to move around and feel comfortable. They sent me some lovely pictures and updates on a daily basis and Yoda always looked super happy. I’d definitely recommend Christina to anyone 🙂”
“Julia is a wonderful dog sitter, very kind and welcoming! We felt completely reassured leaving Japette with her for two nights. We highly recommend her and would happily book with her again next time :)”
“Thais and Marina were fantastic. They looked after Orzo for 2 days and 2 nights and from what we can tell, he had a great time. Thais and Marina were also very good at keeping us up to date with pictures. We will definitely be asking them to look after him again!”
“This was Ringos first time going to Biancas, he can often be really nervous with new places but he settled in so quickly. Couldnt recommend Bianca more she was amazing. Thank you so much for minding him ❤️”
“Angela was so lovely & really great at communicating & sending updates & photos. Greg had such a great time- I think he’d have loved to stay longer. Would 100% book again!”
“Ronnie loved staying with Flor and her partner for his holidays. From meeting her you could tell she really knew what she was doing, asking questions about Ronnie to make sure she was the right match and that she knew what he needed. Ronnie felt instantly at ease with her and we got plenty of pictures and updates about all his walks and naps! Felt comfortable knowing he was being looked after so well. Ronnie looks forward to his next holiday with them!”
“Merve is a dog lover and a dog whisperer! Our dog (Bella, a German Shepherd) is quite anxious being separated from us but she took to Merve very quickly and had an absolute ball staying with her and her family. They really love, care and bonded with Bella, spoiling her with affection, play, walks and letting her be one of the family. She was allowed on the sofa and bed, given toys to play with and Merve sent literally hundreds of photos while we were away. We could tell by the pictures how much Bella was enjoying her stay with Merve, she looked so happy and relaxed. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bella, it was a relief to have her boarded with someone who took such good care of her, and meant we could relax and enjoy our time away. We weren’t sure if Bella would ever want to come home after our holiday! We highly recommend Merve!! She’s brilliant. Jack and Geetha”
“Craig was responsive to all communications. He sent me pictures during the weekend and daily updates. He suggested a meet and greet so Patatas and their dog Prinzesa could meet before in the park. Overall I'm very happy how they've taken care of Patatas and I will definitely book them again.”
“Our Pomeranian absolutely loved spending time with Aisling and her wonderful girls, and it meant we could fully relax and enjoy our holiday knowing he was so well looked after. Aisling was incredibly kind, kept us regularly informed, and took the most lovely, adorable photos of our dog 🥰 thank you million times!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, offering both walking and boarding, so I’m very comfortable with pups of all personalities and needs. I grew up with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Bette Davis, which definitely started my lifelong love of dogs 🐶 My family now has a rescue puppy we “foster failed” (couldn’t let her go!), so I’m used to the energy and attention younger dogs need too. I’ve been living in London for over 10 years, and I really miss having a dog around day-to-day, so I’d love to give your pup plenty of care, attention, and company while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. I work from home during the week, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. The only time I’m usually out is for about an hour for a workout class, otherwise I’m around and happy to keep your pup company, take them on walks, and make sure they feel settled and cared for. Your fur baby will feel right at home with me! I’m lucky to have a park just next door to my flat, so they’ll get plenty of fresh air, walks, and outdoor time. At home, I’m all about making sure they feel comfortable and loved - whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing together. It is myself in the flat and I have no pets currently so they will get all the attention! I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including crating if needed, and I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away 💛
“Our dog Anri came back very happy and relaxed after a full week with Marilena, she took great care of him and provided us with lots of photos and updates which gave us confidence and comfort, thanks!”
“Guillermo and Andrea were really great with my poodle. She felt comfortable and excited from the get go. They accepted my request very last minute and kept me updated with photos throughout her stay overnight. When I picked her up she looked happy and content, so I would definitely book again!”
“Cleo had a wonderful stay with Frederica going out and about on many adventures. Frederica also kept me up to date with Cleo’s stay with pictures and videos. Can highly recommend a stay!”

“Rachel was very professional, attentive and respectful. Immediately when we welcomed her for a short introduction, we noticed that she cares for the little details like taking off her shoes in the house without us even having to tell her. She followed the few instructions we gave her, and we felt Alfred was safe while we were away.”
“Julia was absolutely fantastic despite a very sudden change of plans in my travels which could have been very inconvenient (or a complete disaster) - cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Kat was absolutely wonderful! She sent us daily updates of not only photos/videos of our cat (which is a challenge because she hides!) but also how much our cat had eaten and used the litter, which was reassuring for us because we worry a lot! I would highly recommend Kat! Your cat/s will be in the very best hands! ”
“Maria was great with my kitty! She was attentive to all of his needs and made sure he felt comfortable while I was away. I was happy with her care and would definitely book again. Thanks, Maria!”
“Claire is always amazing, but this was next level cat-sitting. We've just started a renovation and our cat is dealing with an upside down house, builders and lots of noise, let alone us not being there. We were only able to go away during the madness knowing that Claire would be looking after MrP. He was a very happy settled boy when we returned! ”
“Mark John looked after the boys again this weekend, and they were just as happy and relaxed as last time. MJ is super punctual and reliable, and I feel very happy trusting him with my cats and with my home.”
“I highly recommend Samantha to care for your cat while you are away. I have a traumatised rescue who is afraid of humans, but Samatha was able to gain Opal’s trust very quickly and enjoyed being brushed and playing with her feather stick with Samantha. I received beautiful photos and updates each day which was wonderful. Thank you Samantha for your care and attention while I was away.”
“This was the first time we used a Cat sitter and we were so lucky to have chosen Jill. She is experienced, professional and reliable. Our cat was so relaxed when we came back, she was well looked after. Jill sent us updates of her visits and sent us pictures daily. We will definitely choose Jill again in the future. ”
“Noa is absolutely incredible. This was my first time using a sitter and everything has been great. During the initial visit, Noa showed so much knowledge about cat behaviour in general and asked great questions about my cat's routine, and she provided the most detailed updates with pictures and videos from her house visits. My cat is very shy and within four visits she was already making amazing progress with Noa, which just shows how fantastic Noa is!”
“Tre-Emmanuel is a wonderful cat-sitter! Tre-Emmanuel took great care in learning about our cats and their needs and provided timely updates and was extremely communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Margaret was wonderful looking after our cat for a week, she sent lots of photos and we felt very reassured that she was in great hands. We have already booked again for another date. ”
“Wonderful and caring sitter sending regular updates and pictures. We came home to a relaxed and purring cat! Thanks again, we will definitely get in touch next time we are away.”
“Maryam was an excellent sitter, very communicative, reliable, and formed a genuine bond with my kitty. I returned home to a happy and well groomed cat, and the house was clean and well cared for too! Maryam went above and beyond what was expected and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. I’ll be using her again in the future! ”
“Kalliopi doesn’t just catsit—she deciphers feline moods with uncanny precision. My girl cats, tough critics, adore her, acting like she’s the Beyoncé of treats and chin scratches. Friendly, reliable, and endlessly adored, she’s a top-tier catsitter. Ten stars, two purrs, zero complaints!”
“Adam was extremely responsive, clean and took great care of our cat! He sent us daily check ins, which was so helpful in making us feel at ease while we were away. Would highly recommend!!”

“Julia was fantastic and a great introduction to Rover - my first booking. Friendly, communicative and flexible. Really appreciated the photos and videos. Highly recommended.”
“Bruno stayed one day with Gulsum and he was very well looked after. She made Bruno feel comfortable and happy from the very beginning and he definitely enjoyed the day with her. Also, she is a very easy communicator and was providing updates and photos of Bruno throughout the day. Will definitely be in touch with her in the future :)”

“Marilena has looked after our cockapoo Finn on a number of occasions and is so great with him! She clearly loves dogs, showers him with attention and affection and sends us lots of photos of a very happy boy. Finn is always very excited to see her and spend time there and this gives us lots of peace of mind. Marilena is also very flexible with her times and scheduling which is much appreciated. Thank you!”

“She was absolutely amazing. From the very start, she was punctual, incredibly communicative, and kept me consistently updated, which made the whole experience completely stress free. Mango is truly like my child, so trusting someone with him is not something I take lightly, but she made me feel completely at ease. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 10 years old and was always involved in their daily care and routines from a very young age. Growing up around them helped me naturally understand dog behaviour, and how important consistency and affection are for them. A huge part of my childhood was growing up with two Dobermans and Great Danes, so I’ve always been around large dogs with strong personalities and lots of energy. They shaped me massively growing up and taught me responsibility, patience and confidence around dogs from an early age. Two years ago I got my own dachshund, Chef, who completely changed my life and made me feel even more connected to dogs. Having my own dog has given me much more hands on experience and helped me understand how much trust owners place in the person caring for their pet. Chef is my family, and I would treat any dog in my care with the same level of love and attention as I do with him. It’s also been lovely experiencing both sides of dog ownership, from growing up with big breeds to now having a smaller dog with his own funny personality. Over the last decade, living in different countries also gave me opportunities to do pet sitting and spend time caring for different dogs. I currently work in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility for pet sitting during the week and weekends. I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, supervision and making sure dogs feel happy and well looked after while their owners are away. I work in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility during the week and weekends for pet care. As a dachshund owner myself, I’m already used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime and making sure dogs feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. Creating a calm and safe environment for pets is very important to me. I always make sure dogs have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, exercise, attention and plenty of supervision. Having my own dachshund has taught me a lot about understanding dog behaviour, body language and routines. I would always treat someone else’s pet with the same level of care and patience as I do with my own dog.
About: Hi! I'm Angela and I am a big dog lover. My partner John and I brought our lovable pup Monty home in June 2025. We raised him from a puppy and love him more than words can express. We know how important it is to find a safe and enriching stay for your dog. We'll make sure your pup feels loved and cared for while you are away from them. Prior to bringing Monty into our world, we carry 4 years of dog sitting experience. I work with a hybrid setup (3 days in office, 2 days at home) and my partner is fully remote. Someone will always be at home with the dogs. We are in a flat with a large enclosed terrace for quick romps outside (see in photos). Our dog Monty loves to run around there during the day. We have a large crate that Monty sleeps in sometimes, but we also can’t resist bringing him into our bed from time to time. We always walk with lead outside, however will follow whatever instructions you provide as you know best for your dog. Monty is very friendly and sociable. We would welcome an initial meeting, so you can feel confident that your pup will be comfortable in our home.
“Ronnie is a beautiful human and my dog is very happy in his company. She knows now when we turn into his road & starts whining excitedly. Such a kind and delightful household. HIGHLY recommended.”
“Erin was brilliant with our slightly nervous 3 month old puppy on her first few days with a sitter - Juno seemed v relaxed and happy and therefore so were we! Great communication and flexibility too. Thanks Erin.”
About: I've grew up with dogs and have always been involved in looking after them, from everyday walks and feeding to playtime and giving them plenty of attention. I'm a calm and reliable person who really enjoys being around dogs. I love getting out for long walks and exploring the local parks, but I’m equally happy taking a slower pace for dogs who prefer a more relaxed wander. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality and what they enjoy, whether that's a proper adventure outside, a bit of play, or just some company and attention during the day. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, which means I can offer plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I like to keep a structured day and get outside regularly, so spending that time with dogs feels like a great fit. I know Islington well and enjoy exploring the local area, but I also like getting out into the countryside for longer walks. I’m happy with everyday local strolls, exploring new places, or taking dogs somewhere a bit different for a change of scenery. I have a private enclosed garden and a comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. The house is split over two floors, with a cooler lower ground floor that provides a comfortable space to settle after a walk, especially in warmer weather. Whether I’m looking after a dog in my home or visiting them in their own, I aim to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m happy for dogs to spend time here if they need some extra company, a place to relax, or a bit of downtime between walks.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had them in my life. I have a Labrador puppy and have experience looking after other pets while owners are away. I’m confident with most breeds, including Labradors, Shih Tzus, Staffies and Pitbull types. I understand that every dog has their own personality, and I always take time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I live near large fenced dog parks, which is perfect for exercise and social time. My home is ground floor, also has fully fenced front, back and side gardens, providing plenty of secure outdoor space for dogs to relax and play. I’m happy to care for friendly dogs of all sizes and ages.

I make time every day for walks, play, feeding, etc. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with flexible times for boarding and day care. I’ll make sure your dog gets regular walks, toilet breaks and lots of attention throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. My home has fully fenced front, back and side gardens, so there’s plenty of secure space to play and explore safely. I live near large fenced dog parks, perfect for safe exercise. I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and settled. I’m happy to crate if needed and will always introduce dogs calmly and safely. I only care for friendly dogs to ensure a relaxed and happy environment for everyone. You’ll also get updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time

“Libby was a joy to coordinate with for dog-walking! She was on time and highly communicative, and was patient when Caid had moments of reluctance in leaving the house. He came back nice and tired out from a good walk, and it seems like they developed a great bond. I highly recommend Libby's services :)”
“Julia was really accommodating for a last minute walk request! She kept us updated throughout Bobo’s pick up and her walk and we really felt at ease. Would love to book her services again!!”
“Rachel has been going on walks with Mila for a couple weeks now and she has been great. She’s super reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and Mila is always a happy dog after a walk with Rachel. Can highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Lauren to look after your pet. She was punctual, kind, friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and listened carefully to our description of Sparrow's requirements. The weather was scorching hot and Lauren adjusted Sparrow's walks accordingly, and made sure to take her for a cooling dip in the pond. We would definitely use Lauren again, thank you!”
“Anais was a real delight! My beagle baby Copper seemed to have taken to her almost immediately. I will definitely look her up should I need assistance in the future. Thank you Anais!”
About: As one of those people who has always wanted a dog but never got one, I’ve been asked to take care of my friends and neighbours’ dogs since I was a teenager. I offer relaxing walks, playing time and plenty of cuddles. I’m currently waiting for a new working contract to start in a few months, so I got plenty of time to roam around with a walking buddy! At this stage I can only offer walks, so no at-home services I’m afraid. But don’t worry, I know a lot of beautiful parks to explore!
“Noura is awesome! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me while I am on bed rest. I booked Noura to walk my energetic Cavalier and my dog is SO excited every time Noura comes to the door! The walks are always on time and my dog comes home happy and tired. Noura’s communication is also fantastic—whether it's updates, photos, or just a quick note to let us know she’s heading over. Noura is highly reliable, friendly, and genuinely caring—if you're looking for a dog walker or sitter, look no further!”
About: I’ve loved animals all my life, I even had a rabbit and a pet rat growing up. Last year I travelled caring for dogs and cats across London and even Scotland. I truly connect with animals, and they give me a kind of joy nothing else does. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: big dogs, small dogs, seniors, rescues, confident or shy cats. I’m deeply observant and connect quickly with animals. I love long walks, runs, or simply relaxing at home with them. Every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt to whatever makes them feel safe and happy. I have a flexible schedule and can usually adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and overnight house sitting. I don’t offer boarding. I care for pets safely in their home, follow their routine and keep a calm environment. I communicate often and always send photos or videos so owners feel reassured.
“Ruby was fantastic with Copper, but what touched my heart about her was her empathy. She went out of her way to buy my mum a pack of biscuits! She's definitely our go to walker for our Copper who seems to have taken to her so very quickly!! Thank you so much Ruby!”
“Really good dog walker. Was always on time and was flexible when the heatwave happened, as it wasn’t suitable to walk my dog in that weather. He agreed and clearly showed he cared for my dog.”
About: I am a lover of dogs in all shapes and sizes, and would love to have some furry friends to keep me company while I work or walk around Islington. I have always had family dogs, and had two dogs of my own until last year. I am a professional woman that works full time from home for a big tech company. I live in a 2nd floor apartment so if your pup has an issue with their knees it might not be the right fit. I am comfortable with young pups, older ladies and gents who need a bit of extra care and anyone in between. My own dog also had puppies in 2021, so I know how to care for the really little ones as well or pregnant dogs. I have not worked for a service like this before, but I have always cared for my own dogs and often dog sat for friends and family's pets. The dogs in my pics are a mix of my faves - the black and white pup is my mum's dog Turkish, and the others are little ones I've looked after or hung out with. I work full time from home, and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I work from 9-5, and work in the living room where there is a sofa for dogs to curl up on and plenty of room for us to play. Best availability is Monday to Friday, but can have some availability over the weekends depending on travel plans. The apartment is on the 2nd floor, I have hardwood floors throughout the apartment and a sofa that is pet friendly. There are no other pets in this building. I live round the corner from a square with a park in it and a 10 min walk from the apartment is Highbury Fields (a lovely big park to walk around).
“Biddy has been twice now with Daniele and has come back both times very happy and tired! She’s a high energy pup so am very pleased she’s getting the run around she needs. Daniele is very communicative and lovely! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a true dog lover with years of experience caring for them. I currently have a 4-year-old rescue dog, and I’ve had dogs all my life, so I understand how important it is to give them love, patience, and proper care. I really enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and being in nature, so I’d be more than happy to share that time with your dog. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and personality. I understand that every dog is different. For example, my own dog isn’t very social with others, so I’m used to planning walks in quieter areas. At the same time, if your dog is sociable and enjoys playing with others, I’d love to take them to more lively spots where they can interact and have fun. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, just like at home! I’m currently completing a Master of Public Administration (MPA). I’ve already finished my classes and I’m now working on my final project, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility with my schedule. I live in a ground-floor apartment with a small garden, and there’s plenty of space inside the flat for dogs to move around. I also have a very calm dog named Mika, who has helped us train other dogs before

“Ronnie loved staying with Flor and her partner for his holidays. From meeting her you could tell she really knew what she was doing, asking questions about Ronnie to make sure she was the right match and that she knew what he needed. Ronnie felt instantly at ease with her and we got plenty of pictures and updates about all his walks and naps! Felt comfortable knowing he was being looked after so well. Ronnie looks forward to his next holiday with them!”
“Merve is a dog lover and a dog whisperer! Our dog (Bella, a German Shepherd) is quite anxious being separated from us but she took to Merve very quickly and had an absolute ball staying with her and her family. They really love, care and bonded with Bella, spoiling her with affection, play, walks and letting her be one of the family. She was allowed on the sofa and bed, given toys to play with and Merve sent literally hundreds of photos while we were away. We could tell by the pictures how much Bella was enjoying her stay with Merve, she looked so happy and relaxed. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bella, it was a relief to have her boarded with someone who took such good care of her, and meant we could relax and enjoy our time away. We weren’t sure if Bella would ever want to come home after our holiday! We highly recommend Merve!! She’s brilliant. Jack and Geetha”
“Craig was responsive to all communications. He sent me pictures during the weekend and daily updates. He suggested a meet and greet so Patatas and their dog Prinzesa could meet before in the park. Overall I'm very happy how they've taken care of Patatas and I will definitely book them again.”
“Our dog Anri came back very happy and relaxed after a full week with Marilena, she took great care of him and provided us with lots of photos and updates which gave us confidence and comfort, thanks!”
“Cleo had a wonderful stay with Frederica going out and about on many adventures. Frederica also kept me up to date with Cleo’s stay with pictures and videos. Can highly recommend a stay!”
“I recommend Daryl as a dog sitter, he looked after my Bonnie for New Year’s Eve for a few days. She’s not normally away from me so I was very nervous about leaving her but he sent me daily updates to reassure me she was being entertained and having fun. I was snowed in out of London so my train was cancelled so I had to come back a day late and he was very accommodating to that.”
“Emily was amazing! I could not have asked for anyone better to look after Luna on such short notice. It is clear how much she loves and cares for dogs. Luna was happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we picked her up—she almost seemed reluctant to leave and come home! I greatly appreciated Emily’s kindness, communication, and the many updates and photos she sent throughout Luna’s stay, even when I wasn’t able to reply. I would happily trust Emily to look after Luna again. As a fellow Doberman owner, I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Emily!”
“Our dog had a great time staying with Sascha. She kept us updated with how he was getting on and was flexible with drop off and pick up. He can’t wait to go back in a couple of weeks!”
“Evelyn was a great sitter! She was flexible and communication was easy. She sent daily pictures of my pup and followed all the instructions I sent. Will definitely rebook!”
“Evelin was great at taking care of my Elsie who as an elderly Bichon frise is more on the high needs end of the spectrum, with separation anxiety and some over attachment! Evelin worked to put her at ease and reported that she broke through a short bout of anxiety to settle in well. Evelin provided regular pictures and updates to reassure me. I think Elsie would happily sit with her again.”

Yogi was cared for , loved and was part of Ed’s family from day one . Ed thank you so much ! We will deffo be using you again x”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Jennifer. She was so well looked after and had lots of lovely walks. Our dog really enjoyed being with Jennifer’s young son. They played together and our dog had a playmate who loved doing the same things as she enjoyed. 😊”
“Liza (my dog) stayed with Elise for a night. The request came very last minute but she was very quick to reply and accommodate. Liza seemed really happy to have spent time with Elise.”
“Would highly recommend Rasthy. He made our dog feel at home and made sure he was well looked after. We were anxious about leaving him for over a week as this is the longest time he has been away from us. Rasthy made us feel less anxious with daily photos, videos and updates. Would definitely book a stay with Rasthy again.”
“Elisabetta was very caring for my old beagle. She was sending me very often updates, I didn't have to chase for anything.. Ellie seamed relaxed and happy! Will definately use her services again!”
“Andrea was amazing with Joca. He looked after him for a week while I was away travelling, and from the beginning I felt completely comfortable leaving Joca in his care. He was professional, friendly, organised, and always very attentive to Joca’s needs. One thing that really stood out to me was how much effort he made to connect with Joca. He even learned a few words in Portuguese to communicate with him better, which I thought was such a thoughtful and lovely gesture. I really appreciated the updates and the care he gave during the week. Joca was clearly very happy with him, and I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to look after their dog.”
About: I first had a dog when I was 12. I trained my dog, and cared for my dog until his senior age. I have always loved caring for dogs and have been doing so on/off until now. I'm currently working part-time and I have plenty of time to look after your cat. I am available full-day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays as well as weekends, and from 4pm on all Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays I have a quiet flat with plenty of space for your cat to play, I make sure there are no hazards and the windows and doors will be closed during all times. I can also assure you that your cat will be taken care of at all times in a loving home.
