About me, Dawn

Hi there, I have lived with and been surrounded by cats and dogs all my life including fish and rabbits when I was a child! I am an avid animal lover and will look after your pets like they are my own.  I live in Market Drayton with my husband and  gorgeous rescue dog Wulfie.

When we lost our gorgeous black cat Delphi at the ripe old age of 17 we missed her greatly, so I decided to foster cats and helped the charity Guardian Angels animal support. This was so rewarding but sadly had to stop due to my Collie/shepherd cross developing a tumour on her heart and so not wanting her to become at all stressed with new cats coming and going I decided to stop fostering for the time being and set up a cat sitting agency to get my cat fix.

Et voila The Great Catsby Pet Sitting Service.

I am a Montessori teacher by trade and  taught in a Montessori pre-school in London for 30 years and then as a Special needs teacher a few hours a week.  I moved to Shropshire last year and as well as being a cat sitter I also treat people and dogs with  Bowen Technique.  Visit www.riversidebowen.co.uk  to find out more.

I have plenty of spare time to look after cats during the day and am very flexible.  I am not part of a chain of cat sitters and so can give a very personal and tailor made service for you and your fluffpots, I feel this could be my purrfect job!
