I am looking for help while I am away

I would like help with my pet(s)

We have one 12 year old cat. She is a rescue cat and mostly keeps to herself but enjoys a little cuddle on the sofa. She is very gentle and is used to small children. She needs food twice a a day.

Comments: If you are not comfortable with cat care, we can ask our regular cat sitter to come in to take care of her litter tray once a week during your stay. Please discuss this with us.
