Hello.
My name is Marian and I am a retired accountant.
Until recently (2021) I had two cats. They lived well into old age, so I understand about needy cats with medical conditions.
I signed up with Pawshake to find someone to look after my cats when I went away and it is a great service.
My cats were extremely stressed going into a cattery and they were both seriously ill after their last stay.
I really love cats and now that I am retired I love meeting and looking after other cats.
I have plenty of time and so I can tailor my home visits to suit your requirements.
I enjoy the challenge of getting to know different cats and their personalities.
Some cats are food orientated, others prefer lots of cuddles and strokes and others prefer interesting hunting games.
I would prefer to care for cats within a 4 mile radius of Thornbury.
I am a car driver but I also enjoy cycling between clients.
I am happy to carry out other tasks when visiting your home - feeding other pets, putting bins out, watering your precious plants.
I am an active member of the North Bristol branch of the Cats Protection charity.
Everything I do is centered on the welfare of your cat and the care of your home. I have an Enhanced DBS check from a different voluntary role (2022).
With the current uncertainty concerning travel, I will do all that I can to ensure that caring for your cat or cats is one less thing that you need to worry about.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss care for your cat(s).
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
This was the third time that Marian looked after our two cats whilst away, with this time being the longest at a week.
We had the usual twice daily updates but also some great advice with regards to food and cat milk; Marian is so knowledgeable and passionate.
She spends quality time with the cats (it's never a case of putting the food bowls down and then leaving immediately afterwards) and I can tell from the photos that they really enjoy her company.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in Thornbury (or the surrounding area) looking for a cat sitter.
Marian is the perfect person to look after our cats, they are always happy in her more than capable care, can’t thank her enough for looking after them and I think if the cats could speak they would as well 😎
