MEET THE TEAM
Laura
Ever since Laura can remember, she has always been around and loved cats. Her grandmother, a great animal lover, was very influential in teaching her to love and care for them and how to read their body language. Laura grew up in Milan, Italy and started cat sitting when she was in primary school for her neighbour, who was a journalist and would go away on frequent business trips or holidays. Laura would care, initially with her grandmother and subsequently on her own, for her neighbour’s beautiful black cat Duchessa. Growing up, Laura had many beloved pets, including cats, rabbits, fish, a duckling, and Californian terrapins (one of which grew so big that had to be given in adoption to the Civic Aquarium of Milan). Currently, Laura has a cat named
Max and loves feeding the hedgehogs and many birds that visit her garden. Laura has two grown up daughters, she is a school librarian and has volunteered for many years in the past as a first aider, both with the Green Cross (emergency ambulance service) in Milan and St. John Ambulance in Cambridge.
Laura has successfully completed the following courses:
-
Level 3 Award in Cat Anxiety and Stress (CPD Certified), achieving a Higher Distinction
-
Level 3 Award in First Aid for Kittens and Cats (CPD Certified), achieving a Higher Distinction

Sarah joined The Fulbourn Cat Sitting Company in September 2021 and became Laura’s co-partner in August 2024. Sarah has been pet sitting for over 12 years and when she was growing up, was surrounded by many pets - cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters and tortoises. In more recent years Sarah has been volunteering for Cats Protection and since January 2016 has helped rehome 73 cats which she fostered in the cattery in her garden.
Sarah loves to rescue animals and at present has 3 cats, 2 pugs, 1 rabbit and a chicken.
