Pet care experience

Your cat's new bestie 💖

Offering flexible cat sitting in North London 🐈‍⬛ I’ve looked after friends’ cats on several occasions and recently fostered two gorgeous kitties, which gave me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter care, and helping cats settle into new environments at their own pace. It also helped me get really comfortable reading cat personalities and knowing when they want space, play, or a bit of company. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I always make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and properly cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat wants cuddles, playtime, or just a quiet companion nearby, I’m happy to adapt to whatever they need - treating them like my own and making sure they’ve got a friendly face while you’re gone.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m cat-sitting in someone’s home, I try to make things feel as normal as possible for the cat. I stick to whatever routine they’re used to including feeding times, litter cleaning, and anything else you’d like me to follow, so they can stay settled and relaxed while you’re away. I’m respectful of people’s homes and always leave things how I find them. I also know every cat is different, so I take my lead from them - whether that’s wanting company, playtime, or their own space. I also want to make sure you feel confident that your cat and your home is being looked after properly. I’m always happy to send updates and photos, and water plants, take in post etc while you're away.

Lucy did an amazing job looking after our cat. Whe was clearly very comfortable from the offset with Stevie, and was reliable, trustworthy and professional with her communication throughout the time I was away. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend Lucy! Lucy did a wonderful job looking after Pumbaa and I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. Super reliable and very attentive to his needs. Pumbaa can be a little particular and isn't the easiest cat to handle, but Lucy was patient and respected his boundaries perfectly. She kept me updated during her visits. It was clear that she cared about Pumbaa and made sure he was fed and well looked after. Thank you so much, Lucy, for taking such good care of Pumbaa! ❤️ I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. I would happily book Lucy again! 🐾❤️

Lucy was just the best kitten-sitter! Communication was amazing, got lovely updates, and the kittens were super happy and chilled out when we got home. I highly recommend Lucy, she clearly loves cats and I felt super reassured the whole time we were away. Thanks Lucy!

Lucy has been incredibly good with my cat Megan, she’s not only fed her, she has stayed with her for a while, petted and played with her and now Megan has a new human friend.

Lucy dropped in to feed our 2 cats for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for better! She spent lots of time playing and giving them cuddles, and we got lovely updates and pictures. Highly recommend Lucy for all your cat sitting needs! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lucy is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter - I can’t recommend her highly enough. Poppy and Borscht can be shy around new people so I was so worried about leaving them with a cat sitter - would they settle, would they eat? But Lucy was incredible and they took to her straight away, she is clearly a true cat person. I particularly enjoyed all the photos and updates, I was a little anxious about whether they would eat and she was kind enough to give me updates whenever they were fed, as well as lots of photos of them playing with her and even snuggling up on her lap (which they never usually do with new people!). Thank you so much Lucy, it’s such a relief to have found a reliable pet-sitter I can genuinely trust.

Schedule

I work from home and have flexible hours, meaning lots of time for your cat! I'm happy to work from your home for longer periods (if you have reliable wifi) or I can flex my hours to drop in mornings, lunch times and/or evenings. Occasionally my schedule is more fixed, but this will be communicated clearly in advance and I will always try my best to make time.

Lucy can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Each sitter joining needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Cat in a Flat, you can get photo and message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 cat, including a booking fee of 11%.
