Hello! I am Sam, a 34 year old Museum Curator owned by Joseph the Cat. I would be very excited to feed your cat/dog/other small animals while you are away, and can do one or two visits a day.
My area is Winchester only, but not including Olivers Battery, Badger Farm, and the bottom of St Cross as these are unfortunately too far out of the way. Timings would be on my way to work or on the way home from work.
An average visit would be 30 minutes unless your pet does not want any attention. If they are a sensitive soul and need more time I will stay longer if I am available- I will never kick a lonely cat off my lap.
Most of my experience is with cats. For 3 years I lived with my friend and her two adult cats, Sooty and Dot. Sooty was my best pal and always sat on my lap when I was ill, sad or tired. She was also a fluffy hot mess and I miss her every day now I have moved. Dot was a princess, who favoured our other friend and barely left her bed unless it was dinner or zoomies time. Now I have moved away I have a beautiful black trash gremlin called Joseph. I got him as a kitten and he is stuck with me for life now. Lucky him. For all of my twenties I had gerbils, and I have a few clients with rabbits.
I can help with basic medicine administering.
Love Sam and Joseph

Sam was absolutely brilliant in all aspects, and made good friends with an occasionally recalcitrant cat who doesn’t like everybody she meets!
Sam’s communication leading up to and during the sitting were excellent and we especially appreciated the photo updates. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely book her again.
Sam has been a perfect cat sitter. She clearly loves all animals and particularly cats. Our quite ancient cat, Daisy, can be a little contrary and averse to any change but even in a short period of time, Sam managed to become friends and win Daisy's confidence. Sam is also nice to humans, kept me fully updated so that I did not worry about Daisy and was very accommodating in finding a time to meet me and Daisy so that the keys could be handed over and routines explain. Many thanks Sam: ) I would highly recommend Sam's cat sitting services.
