About Me

Cat sitter in London

I grew up with cats for almost 20 years. Whilst I would love to own a cat again it’s not currently feasible as I am often travelling. Instead, I make do with my neighbour's cat who I often look after and another local cat who likes to visit every now and then making use of our old cat flap. I am a freelance translator living and working in the Portobello area. Some catsitting work would help me supplement my income whilst also doing something I love. I have done a lot of volunteer work for a cat sanctuary in Madrid (Spain) so am now fairly experienced in working with rescue cats who at first are often feral and unsocial. It has been a really rewarding experience witnessing the progress made by some of these cats and seeing them rehomed, which is the ultimate goal. As a catsitter, aside from feeding and watering them, I would be giving them some TLC while you're away and providing them with a little play session. I’m happy to empty / change litter trays and have experience in administering medication. In addition to this, I am also happy to collect mail, water plants and take photos / videos of your cat during my visit.

    Lydia is a brilliant cat-sitter, and really put our minds at rest while we were away, with daily photos and updates. Both of our beloved cats took to her right away, and were in great form when we returned. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lydia, and will certainly ask her to look after ours again.

    Lydia was excellent with my fluff ball. He is timid and can get stressed when I leave, but he was very content and took to Lydia instantly. Communication was brilliant, with plenty of videos and photos, which gave me a piece of mind. I highly recommend Lydia.

    Lydia was the best! She sent us a daily report and pics and was the nicer with our cats. Very responsible and trustworthy. She is great! Of course we will contact her again.
