Hi, I’m Rachael, a life long cat lover and self proclaimed mad cat lady.

I live in Downley with my husband and three year old Siberian cats, Poppy and Frida. I am a full time pastry chef at a restaurant in Hazlemere but most mornings and evenings I am visiting my cat clients.

It all started with trying to find a good cat sitter for Poppy and Frida and needing someone who wouldn’t mind doing all the little, silly things in their routine that only a mad cat lady would do. I came across the Pawshake and Cat in a Flat apps, found a great sitter and signed up myself as soon as I had returned from my trip.

This was back in December 2022 and since then I have been entrusted with the care of about 25 homes and close to 50 different cats.

Cats love their routines and so my cat sitting philosophy is to look after them exactly as you would were you at home. Of course no one can replace you exactly, but I always try my hardest to make any cat under my care feel as comfortable and loved as possible.
