About Sandy

In 2023 my 20 year old cat, Spike, sadly passed away. With no Spike to take care of I've been feeding the neighbour's two cats when they go away and have taken over the care of a small flock of chickens. I've absolutely fallen for the chickens... so entertaining. 

Spike required daily oral medications and lots of extra care so I am comfortable giving meds and understand the health needs that older cats can have. I'm happy to prep special food if needed, keep litter trays clean and of course spend time during each visit getting to know your cat/s.

Over the years I have owned several cats, along with rabbits and guinea pigs and always used a pet sitting service when holidaying. I found my cats were happier to stay at home where they felt safe in their own environment. And with daily pet-sitter visits for feeding and text updates it meant I could relax and enjoy my holidays knowing they were in good hands.

So I do understand how important it is to know that your pet is being cared for as you would care for it. You can be confident that I would take good care of your cat/s while you're away. 

I work 3 days/wk (Mon-Wed) locally so would be able to visit your home late afternoon on these days and can be flexible the other days.

Also available to do overnight sitting and can take care of things around the house while you're away like watering plants/garden, collect mail

Sandy was the perfect sitter for our cat. She took wonderful care of her and they became fast friends! Highly recommend Sandy and won’t hesitate to reach out to her again in the future.

Sandy was wonderful looking after my 3 fur babies. They adored her and let her groom them. She was great at communication with me and putting my mind at rest. Definitely recommend Sandy to look after your kitties.
