Hello! I'm Elle, a lifelong cat lover, dedicated cat sitter and soon-to-be qualified animal behaviourist, currently completing a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour, specialising in feline behaviour. I've been cat sitting for over six years and have grown up with cats, sharing my life with them for as long as I can remember. Although I'm new to Pawshake, I'm certainly not new to caring for other people's cats! My experience, combined with my education, means I bring both a genuine love of animals and a deeper understanding of their individual needs. Alongside caring for my own three cats, 1 domestic shorthair, 1 domestic longhair and a ragdoll, I've also volunteered at a cat rescue, gaining valuable experience with cats of different personalities, backgrounds and needs. I am also very experienced at recognising signs of stress, interpreting body language and using positive, compassionate approaches to support cats. Whether your cat is playful and sociable, shy and sensitive, or prefers to keep to themselves, I'll take the time to get to know them and respect their individual personality, the needs of the cat always comes first. My visits can include * providing fresh water * cleaning litter trays * playtime and companionship * sending regular photos and videos * full updates of how your cat/cats are doing I'm also very happy to help with those little things around the home that make your time away easier, such as watering plants, putting bins out, collecting post and keeping an eye on things. I don't believe in charging extra per cat, so whether you have one feline friend or a whole little clowder, the focus remains on providing excellent care without unnecessary additional costs, they will all get just as much attention. I am a very experienced cat sitter despite new to Pawshake, and understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I'll follow your instructions carefully, treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cats are in safe, knowledgeable and loving hands. I am also fully insured and am able to provide documentation if needed. I'm here to make things easier for you and as comfortable as possible for your cat while you're away. Your cat will always be properly looked after in my hands!
