About me
Work and life
My name is Irene.
I’m working from home full time (37h / week) in data science, online marketing and as head of our content team for jobchannel ag (Swiss-based online job searching platform company). I’m listed under the jobchannel ag team here: jobchannel.ch/team.
I live in the centre of Epsom, on The Parade, near Ashley Centre.
I was born in Switzerland and I have been living in England since 2007, and since 2018 I have lived in Epsom. I am currently the owner of 2 cats (Blaxy and Floofs) which were born and raised at home and which I love them to bits. Growing up I was always a bird girl. I had budgies, and later canaries for as long as I can remember. I was introduced to the joy of living with cats in 2013 and although (small) birds will always be a favourite animal of mine, I prefer cats as pets, this is because birds are pretty much impossible to cuddle!
Looking after cats and other pets
Previously also active as a pet sitter on a pet sitting platform from July 2019 to May 2025, so far I have been looking after more than 35 different cats, 1 budgie, 1 guinea pig, fish, 1 gecko, 2 bunnies, and 3 chickens.
In my youth, I have been pet (and plant) sitting for neighbours and friends. Additionally, as a teenager, I spent some time volunteering at the Swiss equivalent of the RSPB where I helped looking after injured wild birds.

truly loving pet care
Irene went above and beyond. When the temperature dropped significantly while we were away, she asked if we wanted to turn on the heating as one of our long-haired cats had recently been to the groomer due to having matted fur. She anticipated that our poor boy would be rather chilly without his normally thick fur coat. That is the difference between just feeding the cats and providing truly loving pet care.
Areas covered
I focus on Epsom, Epsom Downs and Ashtead, but I will consider anything up to 25 minutes cycling distance, that is about 3 mile radius from the centre of Epsom (Epsom, Epsom Downs, Ashtead, Stoneleigh, Ewell, Tadworth).
Note that I rely on my folding e-bike (and sometimes public transport) to get to your place.
