My love of animals started 10 years ago when I started raising chickens. I have raised them like they were my kids - literally having a house hen at one point. I now have 2 cats who keep me busy and I also volunteer with 3 animal related charities and work part time tutoring children and part time in Accounts. I understand how hard it is to leave your pet in the care of someone else but also wanting them to be happy and content whilst you're gone. I have previously used cattery's myself and although they can be great, nothing beats the comfort and happiness of an animal in their own safe environment and home. Unfortunately my own 2 cats get poorly in cattery's through stress and I now understand the need for a good, reliable, at-home cat sitter. 
I have experience with poorly cats and chickens (I had a house hen for 18 months who I'd monitor like a newborn!) so I'm happy to administer any oral meds they may require and any necessary grooming, clipping of nails etc. I'm also happy to water any plants and collect any post.
