After losing my much loved cat Pickle who lived to the great old age of 16, I would have loved to get another cat but sadly my son had developed a bad allergy. Some years on I still miss Pickle (and his brother Branston who we sadly lost as a kitten) and miss the chance to interact with cats. Recently, I have compensated by looking after a friend's cat in their home. Seeing how much I enjoyed playing, cuddling and caring for their cats and the way in which I bonded with Gus and Lola, they suggested I register on Pawshake! So here I am, offering genuine care for your cats in your home - whether that's drop-ins or stay overs! I have done one stay over where I looked after a gorgeous house cat and a labrador puppy (as I also do dogsitting too). Having retired, I am loving the chance to spend more time with cats and dogs - it is so therapeutic! Would love the chance to care for your precious pet.
Availability: I am available morning, afternoon or early evening.

Services include feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays (if required), giving oral medication, cuddling and playing with your cat and sending you updates/photos.
During home visits I would stay for an hour to interact with your cat and provide them with some company and care. 

Whilst housesitting, I can water plants, take in mail and parcels, be in much of the day (if required). I can stay in your home for as long as you need me and will make sure it is secure if I need to leave and draw curtains or leave a light on if I am out to make sure it looks lived in. 

As I am retired, I am very flexible in terms of availability.
