About Me
I’m a catinaflat founder sitter, living in west London, but happy to travel.
I work as a screenwriter and started sitting cats and homes for friends over 13 years ago, but grew up with cats hopping over my cradle. I’m sure they think I'm one of them although right now I’m sadly cat less. My last cat Maude, (Maudelicious) was a short haired tortie with a big personality. However, my sister whom I live with now, is allergic and asthmatic so sadly no cats.
I sit from a few nights, to a month or so, cat/house sits, (and my rates drop far lower the longer the sit) A cat is the purrfect little friend during those periods of solitude writers love. Cats are territorial, and need their own home to feel safe, and they love company. They often curl up next to me while I work, for a snooze, and this keeps them from missing you too much. And of course, they have the wisdom of the ages in their lovely eyes.
OK, what I offer is to be your loving overnight live in cat carer and house sitter anywhere from zone 1 to 3 in London. I also sometimes take longer sits and, always happy to work out deals. I only take ‘visits only’ when it’s super near my home as I don’t drive.
I can administer meds and injections and am experienced with dizzy kittens and sweet old kitties alike! I'm also an experienced Bengals, British Shorthair, Burmese and Siamese sitter. I'm good with shy ones, complex ones, nervy ones and kitties that need a lot of hugs! I 'get' cat psychology and behaviour more than human for sure:) I also take a cat's diet needs/litter tray/in and out, in my stride, (pounce!)
Cats are territorial, and that means they show their affection by 'owning' you and your family and can become really stressed and lonely when their usual 'family' aren't there, and 'shut down', So to avoid this, see me as your surrogate or cat nanny, (I have been called a cat Mary Poppins 😻
I can provide references; I don't drive or smoke. I water plants, take in mail and deliveries (By arrangement). My lifestyle is similar to a cats, and my outings are often erratically spaced through the week, so burglars will find it hard to 'case' your property too!
My Reviews

LondonExcellent communication. Care taken with the animals' best interests at heart, understanding of my concerns and ability to adapt to each personality.

LondonI cannot express how grateful I am to Jane for this cat sit. She was absolutely perfect, from coming to meet the cats before hand to keeping me frequently updated whilst I was away. It’s always hard leaving the cats for several days, but Jane made me feel totally relaxed about it. I definitely hope she will be able to do all of my future sits!! ✨

LondonJane its lovely. She loves pets and she makes sure they are looked after. This is second time she looked after my cat, send pictures and videos which is lovely. I could tell how relaxed my cat was and she was enjoying her presence!
Jane is my top choice. Thank you dear!

LondonJane has looked after my cats for 10 years now and has never let me down, she goes out of her way to make herself available and treats them as her own. Of course they're always anxious when I leave but she deals with their hiding behind curtains and in cupboards with patience and they're soon fighting over her lap! Thank you Jane for all you do!

LondonJane is a lovely person and she looked very well after our 2 furry babies. I came back from holiday and found two happy cats!

.Jane was an excellent cat sitter. She was caring and professional. She explained and checked everything carefully before I went away and kept me fully informed while I was away. She was reliable and responsible and I fully recommend her. She clearly loves cats and looks after them really well. Thankyou Jane

She made sure to send us regular updates and pictures and shared fun stories along the way.

LondonThank you Jane. My first experience of having a cat sitter. I had no worries whatsoever even though he is an elderly chap and needed his medication twice daily. My regular FaceTime calls and daily photos gave all the reassurance I needed that all was well. It was fantastic having you live in. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

.This was my first time leaving my cats with Jane. The whole process was very easy, and Jane was the perfect person to guide me though it. I was very grateful for the daily WhatsApp, it meant I could relax whilst on holiday. Fubuki & Valentino seemed very happy on my return, and the house had been well cared for. Thank you Jane!

LondonThis is my first time using this website. I found Jane quickly on the site. She answered promptly and kindly offered to cat sit during the Carnival, when it's so noisy, enabling me to take a much needed break and to look after my cat. Koshka was well when I returned and we also received good advice to help with her joints. Highly recommend.

LondonJane has looked after Georgie amd Grace for many years, but in recent weeks she has gone above and beyond, caring for sick Georgie, coping with his special diet, making sure he didnt steal his sister's food and giving them both lots of TLC. I can't thank her enough!

LondonJane is an amazing friend to my cats - always reliable and super trustworthy. We love her!

LondonAfter 2 years of lockdown Georgie and Grace were ot accustomed to being without me but Jane looked after them as well as she always had and it was like old times! She has become part of the family amd have ko worries about leaving them (and my home!) in her capable hands! Thank you Jane

LondonJane was fabulous with looking after our 2 boys whilst we were away over Easter. She sent us regular updates and pictures so we could see how Remy and Pete were getting on. She put our minds at ease from our first meet as she knew how to handle and be around our boys. They also approved as they came up to meet her straight away! We returned home to 2 happy kitties and a clean and tidy flat. We will be in touch again! Thank you Jane :D
-
Caroline J
LondonJane did a wonderful job of taking care of Floyd while we were away - she clearly adores and completely understands cats, so we could relax knowing he was in safe hands and returned to a perfectly happy and content little chap. We would definitely recommend Jane and entrust her with Floyd’s care again.

Melissa M
LondonTrustworthy, friendly and LOVES my kitties.... Jane is a super star cat sitter.

LondonJane has become a member of the family over the years, and I leave my 2 Siamese cats with her knowing that they will be well looked after - I would trust my own life to her, not just theirs! This year was a little different, since over the past 7 months, they have grown accustomed to having me working from home rather than spending the days on their own, so it took a little time for them to adjust - Georgie is a sensitive soul so was giving her lots of wistful looks, while Grace had got used to going outside more often to mouse-hunt! Jane knew exactly how to balance their "own-time" with lots of cuddles, sending me regular photos to ease my anxiety! I never have a moment's worry, knowing they are happy with their Auntie Jane! Thank you Jane - what would we do without you?!

.My fur babies and I are so happy to have Jane in our lives . She give me peace of mind when I go away and I come home to very happy cats

LondonOnce again my two Siamese cats Georgie and Grace had a fabulous holiday with their Auntie Jane while I was away and couldn't have been happier with her company. They want to know when she can come again! Thanks Jane for giving me the peace of mind and entertaining my cats royally!
-
Wendy F
LondonI always know that I am leaving my 2 Siamese cats Georgie and Grace in good hands with Jane F, she loves them as if they were her own and she sends me daily photos of them to show that they are happy with her too!
-
Melissa M
LondonI felt so comfortable and assured leaving my beautiful babies with Jane. She came recommended by a friend and lived up to her rave reviews. She is full responsible and loving to my kitties. Would enjoy having her again any time.

Julia W
LondonJane is really friendly and helpful. We could tell immediately that she is a cat person and loves being around them. She was very understanding when we sprung an extra new kitten on her a few days before her booking - and was flexible when we needed to book for her to stay a few extra hours. We came home to very happy cats. Our shy cat even seemed to warm to her within one day which is great. We have already booked Jane to stay again.

Jo W
LondonJane - thank you for looking after Milly again. As you know we don't like leaving her, but when we do, it's so reassuring to know that you're looking after her. The pics really help too 😊. Thank you!

Vianna
.Jane has been taking care of our little Pylou many times since his 3rd months and he is always happy and show a lot of energy in her presence. We can only highly recommend her to take care of your kitten/cat
-
Simone Deplano
.We can’t thank enough Jane for looking after our cat Alice while we were away. She did an excellent job and we found Alice very relaxed and happy on our return. She kept us updated with daily photos and videos and thanks to her we had an amazing and worry free holiday. We highly recommend her!

Sherry A
Eastcote, PinnerAs always Jane brings peace of mind for us when we're away. You know it's a good sign when you get a photo of your little furry loved one snuggling up to her and all cosy. It's a comfort to come home to a happy cat AND a very neat home when Jane comes and stays! 😊
-
Sherry A
Eastcote, PinnerThanks to Jane's excellent care our little Suri was perfectly happy to stay in the comfort of her own home. We got regular updates and photos and could tell she's well taken care of. Thank you Jane!
-
Jo W
LondonIt was great to find Jane. Not only is she reliable, but we feel completely comfortable knowing our furry family member is being well cared for. Milly is usually nervous around new humans, but she seems relaxed around Jane, which is great. Thank you!

ActonJane was great, my furry boys are happy and relaxed. Thank you for watching them. Loki and Aslan didn't seem to miss us which is great.

Wendy F
LondonI have never left my cats for longer than 2 weeks, but just returned after 18 days in Sri Lanka to find my cats as relaxed as when I left, thanks to Jane's wonderful attention and care. She really "gets" them both and understands Georgie's slightly neurotic behaviour, as well as Gracie's crazy frenzies and playfulness. The added touch of the occasional photos sent to me (when she manages to capture their moods perfectly) keep my mind at rest and I am so pleased that I can go away with complete peace of mind, in the knowledge that not only my cats are in the best of hands, but also my home! who could ask for anything more?

SloughJane always goes the extra mile to help out - and is not phased by last-minute requests. Caring and flexible.
-
Anna M
SloughJane is always wonderful and our shy Kitty obviously feels very secure with her. We find Kitty is far less upset by our trips away when Jane has been looking after her.
-
Wendy F
LondonJane F looked after my 2 Siamese cats in September for 2 weeks and sent regular photos so I didn't miss them too much. No question but she is definitely their surrogate mother - I know how well she looked after them because they told me so when I got back!! :) They are looking forward to her next visit.....
-
Anna M
SloughJane was wonderful. Our arrangements were very last minute, but she was resilient and worked things out or contacted me without a fuss. Our little stray Kitty loved her and is the most chilled she's ever been on our return (usually she's very stressed if we've been away). Jane was wonderfully warm with Kitty AND with me - I'd highly recommend her.

LondonJane is wonderful, she looked after Georgie my puss cat the same care as I would give him. Very happy boy on my return as was my flat. I would be very happy to have jane look after Georgie again.
-
Wendy F
LondonThe lovely Jane F has looked after my 5-year old Siamese Georgie several times now so they are old mates - but this weekend for the first time she also coped brilliantly with my tear-away new kitten Grace who has boundless energy and plays constant Tag with Georgie! I do hope she will come again - I am now planning my life around Jane's availability!
-
Wendy
EalingJane F recently looked after my 2 Siamese cats, Tilly and Georgie again and I have to say that she has changed my life! I always worry when I go away and leave them, but as this was the second time she had looked after them, I can honestly say I left with complete peace of mind in the knowledge that she would care for them as lovingly as I do. Her daily photos of their adventures always brought a smile and her feedback after her stay with ideas and suggestions go above and beyond the call of duty! Henceforth I shall be planning all my trips around her schedule, I wouldn’t dream of leaving them with anyone else!
I give her 6 stars out of 5
Thank you Jane and thank you CatinaFlat!

EalingJane recently looked after my 2 eccentric Siamese cats, Tilly (a fragile and very timid 11-year old) and Georgie (a very boisterous and friendly 5-year old) and I can’t thank her enough (and Catinaflat for the introduction) for the loving care and patience she gave them. They had always been looked after by my Dad who recently died, so they (and I) are not used to being looked after by strangers and we approached the event with concern. No need, Jane made herself at home and put them (and me) at ease immediately, putting up with all our eccentricities with good humour and compassion. A huge weight has been lifted from my mind – I’ll definitely be back!

E11At first I was slightly apprehensive about leaving a review....what would I do without Jane....she'll be booked constantly! That kind of says it all. Jane has cat sat for us on numerous occasions, sometimes even at the very last minute. We return with our flat looking better than we left and with cats that haven't even noticed we've gone! She's a natural carer. A super calm person that cats are drawn to and immediately feel comfortable. I would never put Tattie and Tabbie in a cattery, they don't cope well with trips to the vet! Thank you Jane for allowing us to enjoy our trips without worrying or feeling guilty. We would have no holidays without you!! Highly recommended!

Kathrin
East SheenJane's relaxed, easy way when I first met her gave me all the assistance I needed in the hectic of family holiday preparation. No huss, no fuss. Jane stayed at my place for a week taking care of Casper, who is still very anxious to be left alone as he's only 9 months. She frequently sent me photos of Casper - happy and chilled. I can highly recommend her.

NW2It was great to be able to go away knowing that Jane was taking such good care of our frail, elderly cat. In fact, as soon as we got home we booked her to come back and cat sit for our next trip. Jane is clearly a cat lover and was very sensitive to our pet’s health problems and little routines. I would strongly recommend Jane to any cat owner in need of a holiday!
