Hi, I'm Ava and I'm a pet sitter in London. I've always loved all animals, and enjoyed looking after them.

I've always had cats at home with my family, and we currently have an 8 year old Maine Coon called Lottie. I also nanny for a family with a Swiss Mountain dog, and my role involves taking her for walks and feeding her. I've also looked after her overnight while the family have been away.

In addition to looking after my own cats, I volunteered at a local cat rescue centre for several years, helping to look after stray and rescued cats and kittens, which included cleaning their litter trays and cages, and lots of cuddles! I have lots of experience of looking after very nervous cats as well as new born and very young kittens. 

As well as feeding your cat(s) and giving them lots of love and attention, I’m happy to do any other cat-related tasks such as dealing with litter trays, grooming, medication etc. I have lots of experience administering oral medication, as my late cat Lola required it twice a day. I normally spend around 30 minutes to an hour with your cat(s) during each visit.

I’m also able to look after small animals such as rats, guinea pigs etc. I had two rats of my own until very recently and am happy to handle them as much as they like and make sure they have plenty of enrichment while you are away.

If you need help with any other household tasks while you are on holiday please just ask – I can water plants, pick up post, deal with bins etc and generally make sure your house and pets are well looked after!
