🐾🐱 About Me 🐱🐾

Servicing Papamoa and Mount Maunganui - loving cat minding when you can't be there... many years experience caring for and loving cats and kittens and references are available. Certificate in Animal Industry Services: Cats. My visits include cuddles and brushing as well as refreshing of foods and litter trays and anything else you can think of that would make your cat or cats happy while you are away. I will also collect your mail and put your rubbish out when required. Watering of indoor plants and gardens is also something I love to do. If visiting twice a day I draw curtains at night and put a light on which is very comforting for cats on their own and also makes any burglar think twice before targeting your home and in the morning I open the curtains again - leaving a radio on is also soothing for cats as well as company for them. Whenever I visit I will text/email/Messenger you to let you know how your cat is and will send a photo text (or video if on Messenger) so you can see for yourself that your fur baby is happy. My clients tell me they love the daily messages and photos/videos - nothing like a visual image to give an owner peace of mind that their fur baby is ok. My charges are $25 per visit (regardless of how many cats you have) and there is no public holiday surcharge.  Upon contact I will arrange a meet and greet in your home to confirm arrangements and meet your beautiful fur baby or babies. 

Looking forward to hearing from you... Jennifer Harrison 🐱🐾💞


If you need someone to look after you precious cats while you are away, Cat Minding with Jennifer is amazing! Jennifer Harrison has looked after my cats for years. We now only have Pinot who is still grieving the loss of her sister Merlot in December and needs lots of attention and medication while we are away. Jennifer goes the extra mile to make sure she is cuddled and looked after. I have no hesitation recommending her. Pinot loves her as did Merlot - Chris Mitchell, 2024

I would highly recommend Jennifer to anybody.  Our cat is pretty nervous with new people, but i call Jennifer the cat whisperer as she managed to coax Pepi out of her hiding spots, with her gentle warmth & patience.  Jennifer is very experienced & knowledgeable also.  I very much appreciated her advice on dietary needs & local vets, as we are new to the area.  We also very much enjoyed the daily updates, knowing that Pepi was being well-cared for.  Jennifer is amazing! - Nicky Ray 2023

Jennifer is a true cat lover and her work with cats reflects this in every aspect.  Having Jennifer look after your cats is utter peace of mind.She is the consummate professional in every way, but she also brings so much more to the table than professionalism. Jennifer provides real love, affection and attention to your cats and their comfort and well-being whilst you are away. She provides daily pictures and videos and detailed messages to you while you are away so that you have true security and peace of mind about your cats in your absence.  I would unreservedly recommend Jennifer and her wonderful service to any cat parent. Her love, care and attention to every detail simply cannot be topped.  Thank you Jennifer, you're absolutely the best - Ursula Lilley, 2023


Jennifer is the best pet minder you will ever meet. She looked after my pets - a little dog and a cat when I lived in Papamoa. When you place the care of your precious fur babies in Jennifer's hands you can be assured of the best possible care. She has a wealth of knowledge and loves animals. Animals love her too. Having Jennifer will give you that peice of mind to go away with utmost confidence that your fur babies will be totally loved and cared for. I highly recommend her A+++. And your place will be left immaculately and you even get a daily update with a pxt. - Sharyn Waterman, 2020

You can see upon meeting Jennifer that she has a beautiful heart and genuinely loves animals.

We have used Jennifer’s services many times and can’t wish for anything more for our fur babies. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone. She is very honest, reliable and you can trust this service. Jennifer keeps in contact with you whilst you’re away, sending photos of your animal and reassuring you that your fur baby is happy. Give her a call when you are next heading away.- Donna Innes, 2020 

Jennifer is the 5-star cat minder. Jennifer goes above and beyond the call of duty and I have used her for my cat for seven years. She is a LEGEND and I love the kitty rescues that she also does as well as minding cats. - Janet Peters, 2020

I am very happy to recommend Jennifer. I have known Jennifer for many years, having first met her when I owned A Cat's World Boarding Cattery in Tauranga, and Jennifer was a customer. Jennifer adores animals, especially cats, and she provides a wonderful service to owners, caring for cats in their own home. Caring for a persons precious pets is a huge responsibility and commitment. Jennifer's service provides lots of cuddles and attention, plus replenishing food/water and litter trays. Keeping in regular contact with owners, reassuring them of their pets welfare and updating them is a vital part of caring for any animal. Jennifer's service of photos/texts following visits is a much needed and appreciated link to home when you yourself are away, and often when away from home what you really want to see is a photo of your cat, and to know that all is well - Barbara Steel, 2020


Jennifer has looked after my precious cat over many years.  She is professional, highly experienced, and best of all - a total cat lover!   I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a cat minder - Bex Culliford, 2018


Jennifer provides a professional caring service and is a special cat person.  The initial briefing meeting makes sure Jennifer has clear instructions on requirements.  Our cats received lots of TLC and cuddles and very happy and relaxed.Receiving updates/photos plus house check was a bonus.  Would positively recommend Jennifer for a peace of mind experience - Kaye Ramsey, 2017
