Hello! I'm Char, animal lover and owner of two gorgeous feline fur babies, Sasha and Curly. I love all sorts of animals but have a soft spot for cats. My first cat sitting experience was when I was 14 (quite a few years ago!) when I cared for my school teacher's cat during summer holidays. More recently, I've worked closely with Cats Protection where over the last 10+ years I've enjoyed cuddles and rubs with more than 500 beautiful cats as the branch photographer.
I love working with every sort of cat breed, including marvellous moggies :-) I have been fortunate to work with pedigrees too and many of my clients own Siamese, Burmese, British Blue, Siberian, Ragdoll and Bengals. Through my work with Cats Protection I've also gained experience with Persian, Birman, Exotic Short Hair and even massive Maine Coons.
I especially enjoy the challenge of working with shy or nervous cats. I have lots and lots and lots(!) of patience and love to see the beauty of shy or nervous animals relaxing and coming out of their shell.
I've cared for cats of all ages - kittens through to golden oldies :-)
Over the years I've also cared for cats with all sorts of medical issues. Many of my clients have cats with heart, thyroid, kidney or UTI conditions. I have also supported cats with arthirtis, gastritis, asthma and epilepsy as well as those who are blind or deaf or just need a little extra help ❤️
.
I work full time as a pet carer (since 2016!) so you can rest assured that I am available year round and not restricted by school term times or having to fit around other jobs. With the most 5 star reviews and most repeat customers of any Pawshake cat sitter in the whole of the UK, that's a lot of happy kitties :-))
If you have any questions or want to talk through specific requirements of your pets, do get in touch!
Looking forward to meeting you and your fluffy friends.
