Welcome to The Friendly Pet Nurse. I’m Zoe Blake, a qualified veterinary nurse with a passion for preventative care and feline wellbeing. Through The Friendly Pet Nurse, I offer a range of pet services designed to support your animal companions in the comfort of their own home—where they feel safest and most secure.

One of my most valued services is feline behaviour consultations, helping you understand and respond to your cat’s needs, from overgrooming and anxiety to environmental enrichment and elderly care. With a background in clinical practice and years of hands-on experience, I provide tailored, practical advice that can truly make a difference.

I also co-run a trusted cat-sitting service in and around Horsham, West Sussex, with Leisa, offering individualised, compassionate care that lets your cat remain in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. My clinical knowledge means you’ll have extra peace of mind if your cat has medical needs.

Beyond one-to-one services, I’m passionate about educating and empowering pet owners. I regularly write articles and create resources to help you better understand your pet’s behaviour, needs, and health. I’m proud to lead two campaigns close to my heart:
Think Outside the Bowl – encouraging owners to enrich their cats’ lives via puzzle feeding.
Respect the Lead – promoting safe and respectful practices for dog owners.

Whether you’re looking for support with your cat’s behaviour, expert advice you can trust, or someone to care for your pet like their own, I’m here to help. View my price list and get in touch.

• I would honestly recommend Zoe. She has been tending my elderly cat Bubbie for a few years injections, claw cutting, deflea and other medications when required. Zoe is brilliant, kind caring very punctual and reliable, thank you, I completely rely on Zoe.

  - Christine Shaw, Warnham, Horsham

• Zoe is dedicated, caring and I absolutely recommend her cat sitting service! She looked after my cat Oreo for a few weeks and went far beyond anything requested or expected of her. In addition to looking after Oreo’s basic needs, when we returned from our trip, we saw that she had set up more play areas for him, gotten him a treat and afterwards she emailed with some behavioral tips to help with Oreo’s shyness and bouts of aggression towards strangers, which helped a lot. Great pricing too! I highly recommend!!

  - Teodora, Horsham, Sussex

• I contacted Zoe a couple of weeks after we adopted Twig, who had recently been found as a stray and so had become very food anxious! Though nothing Twig had done had been too extreme, I wanted advice and reassurance that we were handling his behaviour in a good way so as not to get him into any bad habits and exacerbate his problems. Zoe gave an initial 40 minute consultation and was incredibly insightful, following up with a very detailed action plan and lots of resources for us to look up. I can’t believe how good this price is having seen other behaviourists charge hundreds off the bat! It’s so appreciated with cost of living etc, Zoe is doing very important work for people who may not be able to afford it otherwise!

  - Beck Lavender, Sussex

• Would highly recommend Zoe. She came to our house to trim our elderly (and very shy) cat Patch, and she was so lovely with her. She gave her a little treat and lots of attention, and cut her nails whilst we comfortably held her in our arms. So happy we found her and she gave us some great advice too.

  - Bianca Tinsley, Horsham

• Zoe was so kind, gentle and patient in her treatment of our elderly cat. She carefully removed large amounts of matted fur and trimmed all her claws. Our baby is so much happier, and we would definitely recommend Zoe, The Friendly Pet Nurse.

  - Shirley Wollen Thompson, South East

• Our deaf cat, Angel, had their claws clipped at home by Zoe. Being at home was a much better experience for both him and us. Zoe is certainly friendly, caring and knowledgeable. We will be having Zoe visit us every 2 to 3 months. Thank you, Zoe.

  - Sarah Hart, Surrey

• Great service from Zoe who has been going to great lengths to help with one of my “rescue” cats – Harry who has chosen to live outside since we got him. She is helping with a plan to encourage a change – understanding the needs of Harry as well as our wish to encourage him inside. She has been so helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. So pleased I found her!

  - Sue Atherton-Green, Sussex

• I approached Zoe after rehoming a cat and ‘re housing’ another ! Two adult males living separately in the same house wasn’t ideal ! I was after advice as to how to integrate the two.

  We spoke for an hour on the phone and she gave me so much to start working with, I am currently starting this long process with the hope that one day soon I can have the cats living In the same house without fighting or terrifying each other.

  I can’t thank her enough and sooo glad to have found her.

  - Laura Grove, Sussex

• Zoe has helped us and our two cats and I couldn’t recommend her more.

  We rescued an abuse case cat back in January 2021, and although he settled in quickly with us as a family, he would still lash out and bite us sometimes for no reason.

  Zoe’s advice helped us gain his trust, so he felt safe with us. She helped us rehabilitate him into a happy cat who underneath it all just wants to be loved. We have come so far with him.

  Unfortunately, despite all our efforts, he has continued to be aggressive to our timid older female, and as a result, she has suffered terribly from stress cystitis and has had to be medicated several times to get over each bout. She has been scared to walk around her own home and it has been heart-breaking to watch this happen. The two personalities just were not suited.

  The situation reached a crescendo and I got back in touch with Zoe who assessed the situation and helped me come to terms with the fact that sometimes cats cannot live together. We both knew we had tried everything.

  She supported us in finding him a new home. It has been the most difficult situation and the most emotional for me personally. Losing a member of the family is hard to come to terms with and we will all miss him terribly.

  Zoe helped me put the welfare of both of my cats first, and for that, am very grateful. It has been a really hard journey but made so much easier with her help.

  - Ms E.Thompson, London

• We were recommended to Zoe by a very good friend of ours in December. Our 17-year-old cat had caught an infection on top of suffering from stage 2 kidney failure. We were devastated when our local vet suggested that one of the alternatives was to end her life.

  We called on Zoe who came over to our home and took time to look her over after we had explained her symptoms. Zoe suggested administering sub-cuts to her three times a week, as well as putting her on a special diet to assist with her weight loss.

  The aftercare suggested by Zoe was not offered by the vets who originally tended to her. She put us and our cat at ease and patiently taught us how to administer the sub-cuts. Nothing was too much trouble and we only wished we had Zoe’s valuable advice before we initially took Holly to our local vets.

  We cannot express how grateful we are to her for making Holly’s life more comfortable. She regularly contacts us to evaluate her progress. We would highly recommend Zoe to anyone out there who needs help, guidance and kindness for their pets. It’s a shame that many practices out there do not have the care and compassion that Zoe has.

  Thank you so much! We will be eternally grateful for everything you have done! Definitely a 5-star service!

  - Gayle, Horsham

• I contacted Zoe a couple of months ago as my elderly cat had been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and the vet suggested subcutaneous fluids as a way to help support her kidneys. We quickly established a thrice-weekly routine where Zoe would come to my house and administer the fluids (my cat tolerated it very well).

  I honestly believe that this has helped improve the quality of life for my cat in the limited amount of time she has left. In addition, Zoe has helped with giving my cat her pills and gave useful advice about cat behaviour (particularly around feeding).

  Zoe herself is friendly but also offers a comforting professionalism when discussing pet matters.

  - Jo Strudwick, Handcross, Mid Sussex

• We recently returned to the UK with four cats, after living overseas for several years. The cats, unfortunately, had a particularly difficult journey and that, combined with moving into new territory, resulted in one of them having behavioural issues and being aggressive towards her sister. After a brief, unsatisfying and very expensive consultation with another behaviourist, we were at our wit’s end until our vets recommended that we try contacting Zoe, the Friendly Pet Nurse. We are so happy that we did!

  Throughout our phone consultation and home visit we really felt that Zoe listened to us and gave excellent advice about cat behavior in general as well as a lot of information that was more specifically targeted towards our actual problem. She was also lovely with our cats whilst interacting with them.

  It is a great help to know that we have her ongoing support throughout this process should we need it. Although it is still early days for us, we now feel much more confident in our ability to understand our furry friends and to hopefully help them overcome their issues.

  In short, we cannot recommend Zoe highly enough.

  Thank you, Zoe!

  - Katie Thomas, Guildford

• I have two cats who mean the world to me: Horus and Nikolai. Horus is a 12-year-old Egyptian Mau and Nikolai is an 8 year’s old Russian Blue.

  A few months ago, Horus needed to be operated on his thyroid. One of the risks is that a patient can end up with a calcium deficiency.

  Horus was checked a few times and seemed to be doing well. I needed to go abroad and trusted Zoe with the care of my boys.

  When I was still abroad, just on my way home, I got a call from Zoe. Horus was not doing well, and she suspected that he suffered from a lack of sufficient calcium. He was in such poor condition that she recommended putting him in emergency care. I was not able to do much of anything at that time so she offered to bring him to an animal emergency hospital – a 30-minute drive from my home. On a Sunday!

  The next day I went to see Horus and had a chat with the emergency vet. Horus has been brought in on time and Zoe’s diagnosis had been spot on.

  The vet was very impressed and kept repeating how lucky I (and Horus of course) was.  I was. I still am. Without Zoe, I’m sure Horus wouldn’t be around anymore.

  Zoe has looked after my boys a few times in the past. Nowadays, I’m not going anywhere without having booked her services first.

  So, would I recommend her? Absolutely! In a heartbeat!

  - Roel Op Den Camp, Horsham

• Having a caring qualified veterinary nurse to visit and care for our elderly pet on a twice-daily basis gives us such peace of mind when we are away. Zoe and her colleague Leisa are like members of the family and have our complete trust.

  Zoe, and now Leisa, have been looking after our cats for more than 10 years and we always come back from holiday to contented, well-cared-for cats (and a tidy kitchen). They are so knowledgeable about all things cat related and have given us invaluable help and tips when our cats, as they have aged, have had health and behavioural issues. I never worry about medication being given correctly when we’re away – they have the knack for administering even the most awkward medicine without a problem. If I could give Zoe and Leisa ten stars, I would.

  - Maggie & Jamie Girling-Budd, Horsham

• Leisa has looked after our cats since they were kittens. Aside from the fact that my cats love spending time with her, she is accommodating, organised and professional. She is one of the few people that we trust to come into our home and look after our cats when we are not there. I always feel confident that the cats are in brilliant hands and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend Leisa to anyone wanting to enjoy some time away from home without feeling anxious or guilty about leaving their fur babies. Thank you Leisa for always being there!

  - Olivia, Horsham

• I have an elderly cat and Zoe’s help and guidance is invaluable. She has a calm, caring manner and nothing is too much trouble. Her knowledge of every aspect of cat care is second to none.

  - Mary, Horsham

• Our pet Joey is a 16-year-old kitty who recently had a terrible rare reaction to a routine vaccination. It was a very stressful situation and deeply concerning as Joe wasn’t getting any better. She went from a healthy happy cat to one who was gravely ill within 30 minutes. As our pet’s health was rapidly declining, it became clear our veterinary clinic was far too corporate to provide the kind of care and attention that Joey needed. As I became more deeply concerned that the situation wasn’t getting any better and with no real answers or solutions coming from the veterinary clinic as to next steps for Joey’s care, I remembered that our pet sitter Zoe was also a veterinary nurse and someone that we trust. We rang Zoe who gave us the real consultation we needed which was to take Joe back to the vet to get an anti-vomiting shot. We did and after we brought Joey back home, Zoe was over within the half-hour to assess her. She helped educate us on how best to help Joey recover as quickly as possible. Zoe told us (me) to check my emotions to help calm our pet, advice and recommendations on new food and snacks to get her eating again and Zoe made herself available to come over to the house each day after as Joey began to recover. I’m happy to say that under Zoe’s care and attention, Joey is back in full health, eating everything in sight and begging for a snack. Life returned to normal. Zoe is a professional who has the experience, knowledge and personal approach to pet care that is truly remarkable. We will never forget her help and are grateful for the care and attention she provided us during a really difficult time. Thank you, Zoe! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

  - M and R McCann, Horsham, Sussex

• Zoe is an excellent cat behaviourist!
  I had some toileting issues with my youngest kitten. I was at the end of my wits when I reached out to Zoe. 

She was exceptionally friendly, warm and super helpful. Her knowledge of cat behaviours was amazing, and she truly helped me make my cats happier, and completely solved the issue with my youngest kitten.
  She helped me understand better how my lovely kitties think and what they need to live a happier and healthier life with me.
  I am super satisfied with Zoe’s services, and I would highly recommend contacting her for any cat behaviour related issues. She is truly fantastic.

  - Naomi, Horsham, Sussex

• We have two kittens that didn’t get on at all and would fight if left in the same room. It was depressing and challenging. Zoe gave us a lot of helpful information and insight, which helped us to understand their needs and stimulate them in a better way. It was hard work but absolutely worth it. They are now good friends, love playing together and they even share their bed. I can highly recommend Zoe to any cat parent In need of advice, she’s very knowledgeable and passionate about cat behaviour and I felt she truly cares.

  - Ms N.Moreno, West Sussex

• I contacted Zoe when my 18-month-old Norwegian Forest (indoor) Cat Pico started to get a bit manic, sometimes verging on aggressive, even biting me a couple of times, once breaking the skin. Zoe came to visit and met Pico, who was on best behaviour! After asking me questions about Pico’s character and background and looking at his home environment, Zoe gave me loads of helpful tips and advice when she was here, then a few days later she sent me her report which had lots more invaluable information which I have since put into practice. I can honestly say that Pico has calmed down and has become more affectionate since taking Zoe’s advice. If he does revert to his old behaviour, which does occasionally happen, I feel more prepared, less phased by it and he seems to calm down quicker. He seems like a happier cat, so I am a happier owner! So I can highly recommend Zoe as a cat behaviourist, she really does seem to know what makes cats tick, and what doesn’t!

  - V.Burnham, Horsham, Sussex

• Zoe has been a great help getting our two rescue cats to settle-in after a tough start to their lives. As well as being a very reliable cat-sitter, Zoe’s expertise as a veterinary nurse has helped to identify a few key items that have reduced their anxiety levels and really helped them to come out of their shells. She also has years of tips and tricks up her sleeve to take all the trial and error out of feeding, grooming and general well-being. She’s a star.

  - Mr & Mrs S, Horsham

• I have written a review about Zoe in the past about how great and knowledgeable she is. But once again she proved how good and caring Zoe is while we were on a holiday this summer for over 2 weeks. About four days before our return our cat became sick ( he is diabetic and has had his large colon removed in the past). Zoe did an amazing job, she cared for him more then her job required, contacted our specialist vet and then the next day drove him almost one hour to the clinic where he stayed until we returned. She was liaising between us and the clinic and had everything under control. We could fully rely on her. I mean, she went more then the extra mile and we can’t thank her enough. Even after our return she kept in touch and was interest in our cat’s wellbeing.

  Zoe you are the best, you love what you do and you put your heart to it. Many, many thanks

  - Ivo and Timea, Horsham

• Zoe is amazing, she really knows what she is talking about and her guidance is all backed up by evidence-based research.

  If you are thinking of getting a cat, need tips on cat behaviour, dietary advice or simply want someone to look after your cats then get in touch with Zoe and have a chat, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

  Thanks Zoe, where would we all be without you!

  - Georgina, Horsham

• I will always be grateful for the care that Zoe provided my dog Prayer whilst she was very sick. Zoe was very calm and compassionate and that helped Prayer feel more at ease.

  I would recommend Zoe to anyone looking for help or advice taking care of their pet as having someone who you can rely on and who will go above and beyond in caring for your pet is truly invaluable.

  - Lucy Chuo, Solicitor & Business Advisor to Prof. Jimmy Choo OBE

• I have discovered Zoe’s website “The Friendly Pet Nurse” by accident when in need of a cat sitter. I was so lucky finding Zoe who is helping me taking care of Fluffy, a 21 years old Birman, for almost two years now.

  She is brilliant with administering her the medicine needed while keeping an expert eye on her behaviour and mood changes. Because Zoe is so careful and competent I can be relaxed when away from home knowing that my dear old cat is so well taken care of.

  Thank you Zoe for being reliable and supportive every time I needed you. Fluffy is most grateful, too.

  - Carmina, Sussex

• Zoe Blake is by far the most friendliest, helpful and knowledgeable pet behaviourist I have dealt with online. Zoe very clearly does the job firstly out of love and passion more than the money.

  She is very inclusive, and is able to deal with different types of people including people with disabilities and Autism, which seems to be lacking in some pet behaviourists, in my experience.

  - Jonathan, West Sussex

• I turned to Zoe for help as I have a rescue cat with a lot of behavioural issues and past trauma. A family member had also worked with Zoe in the past and found her to be extremely reliable and knowledgeable. Before Zoe had even been to visit she gave me a lot of advice, which started to help immediately. She came and did a full consultation and devised an action plan which was completely tailored to my boy. She had a wealth of knowledge about what may be causing his behavioural problems, and many solutions. She really knows her stuff and I feel totally confident that she can help him. I’m seeing results already and am enjoying working on giving my boy a better life.

  Zoe’s rates are extremely reasonable and she is clearly driven by a genuine desire to help. She doesn’t make any unrealistic promises and is completely honest about what is achievable. She’s also very sensible about costs and makes recommendations on the most affordable ways to achieve results.

  We have been with our vets for around 30 years and they are a very sought after and respected veterinary practice in Horsham. The staff there know Zoe very well and couldn’t recommend her enough.

  In addition, Zoe has continued to support me whilst I implemented the recommendations she has given me.

  I would like to thank Zoe and would not hesitate to recommend her.

  - Dawn & Oscar, Horsham

• I came across Zoe when I had recently given a home to Archie, a three-legged cat who had been living in a friend’s hedge. He settled well as an indoor cat, but I soon found his claws needed clipping. Because of his history, I didn’t want to take him to the vet without real cause, so I looked online for someone who would visit me at home to do the clipping.

  I was so fortunate to find Zoe offering just such a service. She’s a veterinary nurse who is undertaking training in cat behaviour. She was willing to travel outside her usual catchment area of Horsham to help Archie. She visited, and we talked about Archie. I found her to be knowledgeable and helpful and most particularly, she was kind and gentle with him as this sort of attention is new to him.

  She cut his claws without terrifying him and I’m delighted to have found her. We hope Zoe will remain part of Archie’s life. I recommend her to others wholeheartedly.

  - Margaret, Surbiton

• Zoe has looked after my two cats on several occasions this year & the service she’s provided has been excellent, I have no hesitation in recommending her.

  I was reluctant to use another cattery after a bad experience, so the service Zoe provides has been the ideal solution for me as one of my cats has recurrent urinary problems so needs closer monitoring.

  Zoe’s veterinary nursing expertise & her advice have been invaluable. She very quickly spotted the warning signs that Pepper’s bladder infection had recurred & got him treated at the vets promptly, keeping me fully informed along the way.

  The care Zoe gives them & the regular updates she gives me, mean I never have to worry about them when I’m away.

  - Wendy, Horsham

• We recently consulted Zoe because our cat Tia was inappropriately urinating in the house and she refused to use her litter tray. We were at the end of our tether and did not know how to resolve this problem.

  Zoe came round to the house and took lots of details down and then she subsequently sent us a report with lots of tips and ideas of how we can resolve our problem. We put in place lots of her ideas and to date our cat is now using her litter tray all the time and is interacting well with us again.

  Zoe is the best and we would not hesitate in recommending her if you have a problem with your cats behaviour.

  - Janet, Horsham

• Thanks so much for getting the remaining stitches out. I was so impressed by how calm & methodical you are. Although it must have been unpleasant for Bella, after her initial wariness, she let you get on with it, as she was relaxed with you, and realised you were there to help her. You have a great bedside manner.

  I’m so grateful for your care, and genuine concern. It has been so reassuring at such a stressful time. I would definitely recommend you to other pet owners.

  - Bella and Vanessa, Dorking

• Zoe, ‘The Friendly Pet Nurse’ has come to our home to look after our two cats on several occasions while we have been away.

  As a qualified veterinary nurse she is knowledgeable and organised, reliable, and obviously loves cats. I can fully recommend her to anyone needing similar help.

  - Kezia, Faygate

• Zoe was recommended by staff at my vets. I have 2 cats Lottie and Betty. Lottie is diabetic with an overactive thyroid and needs tablets and insulin injections twice daily. Lottie is nearly 18 and Betty is 12, neither of them have ever stayed in a cattery. I have always relied on friends if I went away but with the onset of Lottie’s diabetes I felt like the responsibility was too much to ask especially as she has suffered 2 hypos. Holidays went on hold!!!

  When I first met Zoe I was very impresssed. As a qualified Veterinary Nurse she was specialised in diabetes and her attention to detail was obvious. She made lots of notes on each cat asking lots of questions. in truth she was a god send and most importantly they loved her.

  I was off, my 1st holiday in 3 years no worries about their care knowing they were safe and happy with Zoe. She came in twice a day to feed, attend to litter trays and give Lottie her medication. Zoe can also do blood glucose tests if required. Her rates are very reasonable and extremely good value. Lottie also appreciates having her claws clipped at home without having a journey to the vets. Peace of mind means so much if I go away, meeting Zoe was the best thing ever for me and Lottie and Betty. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

  - Sue, Horsham

• I would definitely recommend Zoe to assist with any of your pets needs, whether it be giving medication to your cat whilst you are on holiday to clipping your dog’s toenails or just giving you a bit of advice. I met her whilst out walking my rescue dog a couple of weeks ago and would trust her with his life. He adores her. She is a very experienced and knowledgeable veterinary nurse.

  - Sam and Samuel, Horsham

• I found Zoe by chance on the internet when looking for a cat sitter in Horsham – when I clicked into Zoe’s website I felt I’d discovered the perfect solution for the expert care of our beloved 20-year-old tabby Nellie whilst we were on holiday. Previously we’d always had friends and family popping in to feed and check up on her but now Nellie’s almost toothless and she can no longer graze on dry food I was worried about her, to say the least. An older cat needs more attention, especially our little one as she’s very demanding and the moment I heard Zoe’s friendly voice on the phone I knew I’d found the right person and she does genuinely care and shows it in many ways. Not only did Zoe text me with regular updates (which was incredibly reassuring) she found a solution for Nellie to take her daily medication correctly which up until we met Zoe, we had no idea it was all wrong! Nellie was even given a manicure in readiness for our return. As I’ve told Zoe, the best money we’ve ever spent and the peace of mind whilst we were away was truly invaluable. We would recommend Zoe’s pet sitting services in a heartbeat and we will always feel more than happy to rely on her. Thanks again, Zoe!

  - Zena, Rob and Nellie, Horsham

• My cat Jasper was diagnosed to be Diabetic in December 2015 at the age of nearly 16yrs.  Zoe has been enormously helpful to me in giving advice and emotional support through what was a difficult time.  She is highly knowledgeable but also understands our relationship with our pets, so I would not hesitate to seek her guidance into the future on any welfare or medical issue with Jasper.  Her friendly, caring manner makes her a pleasure to talk to on all animal matters and I would highly recommend Zoe to anyone with any pet concerns.  Thank you, Zoe!

  - Margaret Donnelly, Boxhill

• My husband and I have been married for almost 60yrs and in that time we have always kept a cat or dog. During this time we have called on various veterinary nurses and I can certainly say that Zoe has been by far the best we have ever consulted. Over the last 15yrs she has kept our 2 Persian cats well-groomed and given advice about their general health. She has never been at a loss with her excellent advice. 

  - Valerie Hook, Bookham

• Zoe has been fantastic at helping us getting Marley settled into his new home. The advice has been great, and every day that passes we see an improvement with Marley. Zoe understands cats needs and their behaviours and I’d fully recommend anyone to use the friendly pet nurse. Thanks Zoe!

  - Melissa and Marley, Southampton

• Many thanks for looking after Abby so well during our holiday! It was very reassuring to know that she was in good hands!
  We will definitely be in touch prior to our next trip and will recommend your services to our friends!

  - Emma and Abby, Horsham

• Our cat is elderly, needs daily medication and more specialised care than a cattery or neighbour could give. It is such a relief to be able to leave her safely in her own home, with Zoe visiting regularly to give her both expert and loving attention.

  - Michael, Wendy & Jassy, Horsham

• Zoe is an excellent veterinary nurse, very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable especially in diabetes. She looked after my cat Simba for 6yrs and helped me to manage his treatment

  In addition to the diabetes care she was able to come in twice daily to feed and look after Simba which enabled me to take holidays and weekend breaks which allowed him to stay in his own home without the stress of being taken to a cattery.

  She also does all the jobs which we as pet owners don’t like doing i.e. nail clipping etc.

  Thank you Zoe

  - Linda, Capel

• My husband and I had recently moved to Horsham and having previously had family close by we were very nervous about leaving our very precious cat Lily in the care of someone new. Zoe was great, she reassured us with her knowledge, kindness and experience. Lily can be challenging when she doesn’t know people. But Zoe was great with her, she text us on holiday and even sent photos to reassure us that she was ok. We would not hesitate to recommend her service.

  - Fiona & Mark, Horsham

• Until we knew about Zoe we have been unable to go on holiday for a number of years because we have a 22yr old sick cat that needs medication twice a day.

  Now we can go and enjoy a break away because Zoe visits our home daily to look after our cat. We have found Zoe to be reliable, conscientious and trustworthy and would happily recommend her services to others.

  - Mr and Mrs Perry, Horsham

• Zoe was recommended to me when I asked my vet if they knew a cat sitter. She looks after my cat Willow for me when I’m away from home every second weekend, and when I’m on holiday. Willow has final stage kidney disease so I really worry about her when I’m away.

  I’m really glad that my vet suggested Zoe and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, capable and reliable cat sitter.

  - Michelle, Horsham

• Zoe has been tending my cats in my home for a number of years. I am one of those anxious cat owners who worries about everything, which in the past has marred holidays whilst they have been in cat-shelters.

  The first time I called upon Zoe’s services, I knew straightaway that they would be in safe hands. Zoe is trustworthy, reliable, very experienced and clearly loves animals. As a result, when Zoe is left in charge of my brood I always relax and enjoy times away knowing they are in very safe hands.

  - Pauline, Dorking

• I have known Zoe for well over 10 years since we moved to Dorking. Approximately 4 years ago one of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes and Zoe taught me how to give her the twice daily injections. Whenever we went on holiday Zoe would happily attend twice a day to continue these injections and Sasha survived for many years.

  Zoe is a key holder to our house now and I know I can always call on her in an emergency or when we go away to look after our remaining 2 cats.

  I can thoroughly recommend her as a genuine cat lover and with her qualifications as a veterinary nurse your pet is in safe hands.

  - Michael, Westcott

• Zoe has been looking after our 3 male cats for 3 years until we left the area. Finding Zoe was the best thing for our cats, we really do not enjoy sending our cats to the cattery and whilst Zoe was looking after them we never had to worry about them (or our house) when we were away.

  Harvey has a urinary problem and so had to eat special food so this meant he needed to be kept separate from the others. Zoe always made sure the boys ate their own food and not each others so we knew Harvey would be fine.

  We really miss Zoe up here and we are hoping we find somebody like her very soon.

  - Claire and the boys, (now in Cheshire)
