About Me

Cats Protection and Medivet Fosterer | Police Vetted |

Hi, thank you for reading my profile!

I am originally from Italy and I have been living and working in London for the past 28 years.

During the day I work in the public sector and in my spare time I do what I love most: I spend time rescuing cats and looking after them. I also work closely with the local vets and cat charities (Medivet and Cats Protection) and I support them to hand-rear abandoned kittens or foster stray cats before they can find a forever home.

I have had cats all my life and I am currently "owned" by 4 rescue cats: Leo, Lola, Rum and Cola :-)

Rest assured that I will look after your cat or cats as I would do with mine, feed them, cuddle them, play with them and I will make sure that their litter tray is always clean but most importantly I will love them on your behalf whilst you are away.

I offer a free of charge "meet and greet" meeting before the booking starts so you get to know me and more importantly I will introduce myself to your furry baby and understand his/her routines and needs before we get to spend time together. Whilst you are away, I will be sending you loads of pictures, videos and updates about your kitties so that you never feel you are too far away from them.

Due to my work, I currently only provide one evening visit between 5pm and 7pm Monday to Friday. Saturday-Sunday times are subject to change and I can normally offer 2 visits a day on weekends. The standard lenght of each of my visits is 20 minutes.

Please note I will collect your home keys on the same day of the meet and greet. Should you require me to collect them at a later stage this will be charged at the normal standard visit and you will need to book an extra visit in the system. Unless you can drop the keys at my address. I will drop the keys in your letterbox on the last visit and if you require me to return the keys in person you will need to also book an extra visit in the system. This applies to future regular visits too.

I am also happy to look after your house plants and collect mail whilst you are away. House gardens can be watered during the spring/summer months for an additional £5 per visit.

Please do get in touch, I really look forward to meeting you and your furry baby.

    Mari was the ideal sitter for us. It was her first time with us and she came to introduce herself to Lola beforehand. While we were away she sent regular texts and lots of videos of our happy, purring cat. We will definitely rebook her next time we go away.

    Mari has looked after our cat Lola numerous times over the past year, and has always been reliable, caring and a pleasure to deal with. We are moving away so will no longer be able to use her, but wholeheartedly recommend her services.

    There are no words to describe how grateful we are to Mari! Mari has been absolutely amazing in looking after our precious cat, Gigi, while we were away for a fortnight! Her daily updates and videos were fantastic and she also looked after our plants and fish too! We all love Mari and are so happy we have found the perfect ‘aunt’ for our Gigi!

    Mari is wonderful! I chose her because my cats are semi-feral and very nervous. Mari sent me photos and videos each visit and she got to stroke 3 out of 4, which is amazing. She is very thorough, professional and reliable. I was able to relax, worry-free and I will definitely book her next time I’m going away. Thank you Mari ♥️

    Mari is amazing! It was my first time leaving my 10 month old kitties and she made it all very easy and was reassuring and reliable throughout. She also advised me on good food choices for the cats and gave our cars a few spare toys she had. Mari sent pictures of each visit which were great to see and we have come back to relaxed and well looked after cats! We will definitely be using her again.

    Mari has been brilliant during our little holiday in the countryside. The meet and greet went well and we felt our cats were in good hands. After the visit, we got a little message and some photos which was much appreciated ! She also recommended her to the local vet, a very welcome bonus as we had none following our move and the pandemic. We'll definitely call her again the next time we're away ! Thank you again :)

    Mari is an absolute dream! She responded very quickly to arrange a meet-up and I knew she was the sitter for us when she introduced herself to our cat intuitively with no fuss and secured her trust. She provided daily updates with photos and videos and I felt completely at ease having her in our flat each day. 100% recommend and I'll be booking again!

    Mari was all you could ask for in a cat sitter. She went above and beyond when cat sitting Bagheera, I wasn't prepared as I should have been when she cat sat and ran out of cat litter, but Mari had it covered and brought some in.

    I got regular pictures and updates as well as comments on his behaviors. First time using a cat sitter and am already looking to book Mari again.

    Mari was fantastic looking after my two cats for 5 days. This was the first time having a cat sitter but Mari was so friendly and experienced which made the whole process run smoothly. She visited before the booking to introduce herself to my cats and to familiarise herself with their routine and living space. During the booking she sent me updates and photos of my two fur babies so I knew that they were well cared for and I could relax during my time away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mari to anyone and I hope she will be available the next time I go away! Thank you again Mari!

    Mari is a real cat lover and has been so helpful with my 3 cats, each of them needing special care. It’s been appreciated that she sent news and pictures and did not hesitate to ask questions. My cats were happy and had been well groomed as well. I warmly recommend Mari and will not miss to contact her again each time my cats need a cat sitter.

    Mari is simply brilliant. I was so worried before we left on holidays as it was the first time my furry baby was left home alone but Mari made the whole process painless, simple and convenient. She is a loving, friendly and very reliable person. We received updates twice a day with loads of pictures, videos and funny comments :) I actually think our baby misses his new auntie Mari already :)

    We have had many cat-sitters before, but Mari exceeded our expectations!Mari is what you can expect from the perfect cat sitter. She is well organised, professional, friendly, reliable and has very warm personality. We left our kitty Bella for 4 days and she had been well looked after. We have received informative daily updates with loads of pictures, which let us to have stress free holidays, and we knew Bella was in good hands. We could not be happier with service Mari provided, thank you! We highly recommend Mari to anyone as a perfect cat sitter for your furry friends.
