ABOUT ME
PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER
My name is Catherine Tromans and I am the proud owner of Happy Paws. I am a qualified registered Veterinary Nurse, living in Witchford, Ely, with over 12 years experience in animal care, welfare and health. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2005 and I am very passionate about responsible pet ownership.
I have two cats of my own called Bailey and Wilbur – 3 year old brothers who live for mischief. Having worked at Cambridge Veterinary Group, south of Ely, for the last 14 years I am experienced in handling and caring for all small furries and also exotic animals as we are a practice that specialises in exotic species.

WHY CHOOSE HAPPY PAWS?
DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH EXOTIC PETS?
Having worked in a Veterinary Practice that specialises in Exotic species for the last 14 years I am very happy looking after them and have a great deal of experience in handling and feeding them.
HOW MANY DOGS CAN YOU WALK AT ONCE?
I do not offer a pack walking service and your dog(s) will not be walked with others. Obviously if you have more than one dog I will be happy to walk your dogs together.
WHAT IF MY PET FALLS ILL WHILST I AM AWAY?
If your pet was to fall ill or become injured whilst you are away then I will immediately take them to your own vet practice for treatment and inform you. Please be assured that your pet(s) will be observed closely for any signs of illness or pain on every visit.
​
Should there be an emergency with your property I will deal with the situation immediately.
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SEND ME UPDATES AS TO HOW MY CAT IS DOING WHILST I AM AWAY?
I would be very happy to send you a text or email once or twice per week to update you on how your pet is doing. If there was to be any concerns whilst you were away I would also contact you immediately unless you had specifically asked not to be contacted.
