What should I check on a winter cat visit in Bishop's Stortford?
Check the home as well as the cat. On a Bishop's Stortford winter visit that means confirming the heating is still on, topping up water that sits near a draughty window, keeping the litter and feeding routine exactly as the owner left it, and sending the owner a short note if anything looks wrong.
Which parts of Bishop's Stortford can I list?
Any part of CM23 you can reach for each booking, including Thorley, Bishop's Park, Hockerill, Parsonage and St Michael's Mead. Owners want someone nearby, so name the estates on your profile rather than just the town.
