I have always had a cat for as long as I can remember and love them dearly. I found out about pet sitting recently and love the idea of meeting new cats (and people) while doing a valued service, while I earn some money to help support my artistic endeavours. I understand the idea that someone who really cares is looking after my furry family is a huge relief for people.
Before covid lockdowns, I was volunteering at the Mangere SPCA cattery and so I have plenty of experience dealing with cats who are unfamiliar to me and looking after them. I would feed the cats, clean their area, help keep them cool in summer, or warm in winter, and of course give them plenty of snuggles and petting. I have a lot of experience in dealing with shy, skittish, and grumpy cats as well since SPCA sees all types come through before adoption. Furthermore, I have had at least one cat for the past 28 years. Only currently without one since my last two passed from old age, one who was a shy but loveable black cat and the other a silly and friendly ginger cat.
I'm available to visit homes from 9:30am.
I am able to administer eye and ear medications as I have experience doing this with my own cats.
Also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and other daily upkeep tasks.
I no longer accept dog sitting requests.
Thank you!

Hayley was lovely and we came home to a very happy kitty!
Hayley looked after our two cats for their first time being left alone for longer than a couple of days. She sent daily photo updates which was something cute to look forward to every day and gave us peace of mind that the cats looked happy and relaxed. I’ve never liked the idea of sending our boys to a cattery so knowing they were comfortable in their own home and being looked after so well allowed us to enjoy our holiday guilt free. I’d highly recommend Hayley’s services for anyone that needs a pet sitter/feeder. Thank you Hayley! (Tommy and Klaus say thanks too!)
