Courtney Cameron runs her cat sitting business and loves to establish bonds with her “clients”.
We see you have been a veterinary nurse - has that experience been useful to you?
Yes most definitely. There is a vast amount of knowledge and skill that comes with being an experienced veterinary nurse. With this experience, I am able to administer various medications, assist with grooming, recognise certain feline behaviours and identify when a cat is unwell or not quite themselves.
What do you like best about your job?
My fluffy clients of course! There is nothing more rewarding than establishing bonds with each of them. The different personalities, mannerisms, and quirks. No two cats are the same and I love getting to know them all.
When you’re not at work - how do you switch off?
When I am not out and about visiting my fluffy clients, I am being kept busy at home with Leila and Lennox (my feline babies) and Lincoln and Zeke (my two preschool boys).
