Hi, I’m Maxine, a devoted cat mum to two tabby cats I adopted as strays. Caring for them has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to build trust with animals who need time, space, and gentle handling.

I have hands-on experience with house sitting, drop-in visits, and overnight care for both cats and dogs. Whether your pet is playful and social or shy and anxious, I adapt my approach to suit their personality so they feel safe and comfortable.

For cats, my visits typically include:

• Feeding and fresh water
• Litter box cleaning
• Playtime and enrichment
• Grooming or nail trimming (if needed)
• Quiet companionship for more introverted cats

For dogs, I’m comfortable with:

• Basic care routines (feeding, walks, playtime)
• Keeping to their usual schedule and energy level
• Providing calm handling for more anxious or shy dogs

Visits usually last 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your pet’s needs.

In case of emergencies, I stay calm and take immediate action:

1. Assess the situation and ensure your pet is safe.
2. Contact you right away with updates
3. Reach out to your preferred vet (or a nearby clinic if urgent)
4. Follow through with necessary care based on professional advice
5. I also have access to veterinary contacts for quick escalation if needed.

I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, and I make sure each one gets individual attention and care rather than rushing through tasks.

You’ll always be kept in the loop — I provide regular photo and message updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter, I’d love to care for your pets like they’re my own.
