Happy Paws

I am an English-speaking mother of two Burmese cats and I would love to take care of your fur children while you are away. I am 41 and I work part time as a copywriter in the financial services industry. When I'm not doing this, I look after Haarlem's furry citizens. I have lived in Haarlem for seven years (I am originally from South Africa) and taking care of cats gives me so much joy. I have always been surrounded by cats. As a child we had seven cats at home and I've looked after my own cats for more than 20 years.

I know it can be difficult to trust someone with your home and animals. I will take care of your cats as I would my own. If your cat enjoys playing, we will do that. If they prefer to snuggle with me on the sofa, that's what we do. If they are withdrawn or scared, I will respect their boundaries. I will take the lead from your furry friend.

I look forward to meeting you and your feline companion.

In addition to feeding your kittie you can also rely on me for: * Administering medication * Cleaning cat boxes * Water plants * Lots of cuddles and love for cats * Looking after your house. Home emergencies happen and I am completely comfortable dealing with these. * Need anything else? Let's talk about it!

The majority of my visits are in the morning and afternoon. Evenings in consultation.

I can put you in touch with cat owners who know me, should you require a reference.
