Hi, I'm Nicole and I love animals so much that I left my head office job in 2018 to create and run Kitty Purry Pet Sitting full time!

I will care for, love, spoil and cherish your pet as if they were my own. I have more than 25 years of experience looking after my own family pets and friends`pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, birds, tortoises, hamsters, and even a blind chicken).

From the day I was born in South Africa, I have always been surrounded by pets and wildlife and spent countless holidays at wildlife reserves.

I currently own 2 Bengal cats, Jax (male) and Gigi (female), who is Epileptic.

I have experience as a foster mom for rescued cats and kittens and hold numerous animal-related qualifications.

I also have experience handling and working with nervous/aggressive cats.

In my spare time, I volunteer at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and Cats Protection as a Cat Care Assistant and am an ambassador for CatinaFlat.

I spent a weekend shadowing at a wildlife rehabilitation centre in South Africa when I was younger and this included the care of meerkats, bush babies, monkeys and even a warthog! Some highlights for me there were holding a lion cub in my lap, stroking a zebra and a cheetah and watching the staff bottle-feed orphaned baby rhinos.

I am able to serve clients in Littlehampton, Rustington & Angmering.

I am also comfortable with administering medication in either pill/ liquid/injectable form as well as flea/worm treatments, if your pet requires it.

I will send you daily pictures/videos and updates of your pet throughout the duration of my visit and I don’t mind watering plants, taking out the bins or accepting any post on your behalf too.

I drive, so if there is an emergency, I can take your pet to the vet (although we wouldn't expect anything like that to happen), but is still a comfort to know.

I also take care of other small pets: birds, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, hamsters and small dogs, etc. I am sorry to say that I can't take care of snakes, bearded dragons or spiders as they are the only animals I'm rather afraid of!

*Please note: *

• I am unfortunately, unable to handle any large dogs (more than 7KG) as clients (I'm only a short, small person) and I don't offer dog boarding or daycare as my cats aren't experienced around dogs.

•I can take your dog out for a walk in your area only as I don't have suitable transport to go to the beach or forest with them.

** Booking fees are double on 25 and 26 December, please**

Thank you for your understanding.

I hope to take care of your purrrrrry loved one in the future!
