About Me

Reliable, affordable cat sitter/cuddler for Catford & Forest Hill. One flat fee, no peak prices :)

November update 💕😺👶🏻🍼

Thank you all so much for the well wishes - my baby girl was born on 15th Oct and we are so in love with her.

I have made a very gentle start back into cat sitting and I can wait to hang out with all my feline friends again. . Please note that due to lack of childcare I may not be able to commit to morning visits without bringing my baby along. However I do understand that this may not be appropriate for some cats in which case I can recommend some other local sitters.

Afternoon (after 3pm) and evening visits are unaffected as I have childcare at those times.

Any questions, please just ping me a message x

👋👋👋

Hi, I’m Heather - a cat sitter based in Catford/Forest Hill borders.

I provide a trustworthy, reliable and affordable cat sitting service that puts the needs of your kitty first.

I have had cats since I was a child and currently have two cats called Meme and Mimi (who we rescued as kittens after finding them taped up inside a cardboard box).

I can usually be flexible with timings of visits based around your kitty’s routine. I live just off Perry Hill, SE6 but am also sometimes free for weekday visits close to the Barbican where I work.

I'll always arrange an initial visit (free of charge) to meet you and your kitty and understand what they need while you are away.

Each visit lasts roughly 25 mins and includes:

  • Feeding your cat and providing fresh water

  • Cleaning cat food bowls and eating area

  • Freshening litter (if required)

  • Play time, cuddles and lots of fuss to make sure your kitty doesn't get lonely.

  • Brushing and grooming

  • Giving medication (tablets, liquids, injections, flea and worming products)

I pride myself on good communication and will send daily updates and photos so you can rest assured your kitty is being well cared for.

Also happy to take care of any other small animals you have, as well as water your garden or houseplants, open and shut curtains or blinds, put out and bring in bins and run any errands you might need while you're away.

I have been using Cat In A Flat for quite a few years now, first as an owner and now as a sitter. I have established a regular customer base of happy cats and their humans. You can find out what people think of my service by checking out my reviews. At the bottom of this page you can also see pics of some of the adorable kitties I have cared for recently.

I have a recent DBS check and am fully insured. I'm also happy to provide ID on request.

Thanks for reading

Heather 😽

    Heather was brilliant! She kept me updated with lots of photos each time she visited and I really appreciated that she took the time to play with our cat, set the automatic feeder going and even opened/closed our curtains. Our cat had clearly relaxed around Heather which was reassuring and we would happily ask her to catsit again.

    Heather is a true cat whisperer

    My fur baby Bailey can be a bit shy & stressy.
