About Shirley
Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with two dogs in my family home, and later became a cat mum myself. I have been raising my cat since he was a 3-month-old kitten, and he is now over 3 years old.Living closely with a cat every day has helped me understand how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I’m experienced with:
* Feeding & fresh water routines
* Litter cleaning
* Playtime & companionship
* Basic grooming and care
* Sending regular photo and video updates to owners.
I'm a responsible, clean, and non-smoking person who will treat your pets as if they were my own. My goal is not only to look after them safely, but also to make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you are away.
Hoping to Be Someone You Can Trust
* Gentle and patient personality
* Real experience raising a cat from kittenhood
* Comfortable with shy and sensitive cats
* Responsible and detail-oriented
* Regular updates with photos/videos
* Thoughtful home care support including plant watering, bringing in mail/parcels and light tidying during visits.
While I have more experience caring for cats, I also genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and always approach their care with patience, kindness, and responsibility. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so | always take time to listen carefully to the owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, exercise needs, and anything important to help the dog feel comfortable and secure.
I am able to administer oral medication if needed and will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure pets are comfortable and properly cared for. In case of any emergency or unusual behaviour, I will contact the owner immediately. I am also happy to reach out to the pet’s regular veterinarian using the contact information provided by the owner if necessary.
Each visit typically lasts 45 minutes or longer, depending on the owner’s preferences and the pet’s individual needs. During the visit, I will make sure your pet receives attention, care, companionship, and any requested routines so they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after.
I’d truly appreciate the chance to help care for your cat, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and well cared for.
