Hi! I’m Helen, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for cats and small furbabies. I offer calm, reliable in-home pet sitting visits, so your pets can stay happy, safe, and relaxed in their own familiar environment while you’re away. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up surrounded by them and currently have five cats across my family (three with my parents and two with my partner and me). For over 20 years, I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets during holidays—feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, giving cuddles, playtime, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality. I’ve also looked after fish, hamsters, and rabbits, so I’m confident caring for a range of small pets. My visits are always tailored to your pet. Whether your cat loves lots of attention and play, or prefers a quieter presence and gentle company, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m especially mindful of shy or nervous cats and will always move at their pace to build trust, as I have experience with shy cats of my own. Visits typically last around 30 minutes (or longer if needed), with one or two visits per day depending on your needs. Single daily visits can be slightly longer to ensure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’m happy to send photo updates if you’d like, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I can also administer oral medication if required, and I always follow your care instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent. All care takes place in your home, meaning less stress for your pet and complete peace of mind for you.
