About Me

Cat sitter in Worcester

I'm a retired greybeard geek and photographer, who's always got on well with cats, whether within my family or met on the streets.

I grew up with Tiger, a long haired ginger and white female from a farm cat litter; I can still remember my delight the first time she settled on my lap, when I was about five years old... In adult life, several cats have chosen me; my last cat, Kenneth, arrived on my doorstep as a skinny, feral stray in early 2011. He became a fine figure of a cat, but even I have to admit that he was dangerous if the mood was on him.

I've been a cat-sitter with Cat in a Flat since 2017. Do get in touch if you feel that I would be suitable as your cat's temporary butler.

Neil

I'm happy to look after any cat who likes me, and most do. I've no problem with older cats, or even rather grumpy ones. I will cuddle, fuss and groom cats who enjoy that, or throw scrunched paper if that is their thing. If they are stand-offish I'll just sit and chill with them for a while.

I can deal with cat vomit and litter trays, and have had an old cat (Valentine) who needed daily thyroid medication by mouth; I don't claim to have veterinary nurse levels of tablet giving skills, but I can administer medicine to a reasonably docile cat without a helper.

I'm also happy to water houseplants (given a list of what is where and it's watering needs) and monitor/tidy post etc. One one sitting session I successfully looked after a bearded dragon as well as cats and have also been temporarily in charge of a family member's goldfish... again, clear instructions are essential for looking after plants and any creatures other than cats!

    All AOK and Neil kept us informed while we were away, including the occasional photo. Third time we’ve used him 👍

    Neil is very reliable, friendly and really good at keeping in touch with us when we are away. We always feel happy that our cats are well looked after so have peace of mind. It was very easy to explain to Neil where everything was and so it was a very smooth process. He really makes it possible for us to go away and relax.

    Have booked Neil to look after my old scraggly Zebs cat a number of times and he's always been happy on my return so has clearly received some love and attention. Neil has cleared poops from the tray when I've been away for longer than a day and night and has used the grooming combs on his increasingly matted old fur. Happy

    This catsitter did not empty the litter trays once in five days, no litter in black bin at the end of that time. Cats had started weeing in the bath for want of somewhere clean. Food bowls had both biscuits and dried up moist food and had not been cleaned. He came in at 9pm for teatime feed. Wheelie bin was not put out as requested. Avoid.

    Neil did a great job checking in on and feeding our 18 yr old cat Treacle for 9 days. He kept in touch whilst we were away with a few messages to let us know all was well, which was reassuring & appreciated. As well as feeding, Treacle got his regular brush & some fuss, enabling us to enjoy time away without worry. We'd certainly recommend.

    This is the second time Neil has looked after our two cats and watered our plants, and we’ll ask him again next time. So yes, recommended!

    Neil was absolutely marvellous. Hoping to book him again in the future if he’s free. He gave daily updates which was very reassuring and his real love for cats comes through. Highly recommend.

    Neil was fantastic! Neko had a lovely time with him, and Neil gave us lots of reassuring messages and photos. Neko was a very happy cat on our return. Very highly recommended.

    Neil did a great job while we were away, regularly keeping in touch by text. Our cats spend most of their time out and about, so he didn't see them often... but kept their food and water topped up. He also agreed to look after our houseplants and even popped around the corner to our allotment, keeping things watered in exchange for some fresh fruit and veg. Great job, and will definitely use his services again.

    This was our second booking with Neil and he was great once again. I could tell our Wispa got loads of attention and love while we were away and we came back to a happy cat! Good communication and updates including photos/videos, would definitely recommend.

    Neil was easy to communicate with from the start and made us feel at ease about leaving Wispa while we went away. She seemed to warm to him quickly and was very content and well-fed when we arrived home. Neil was very reliable and we would definitely book with him again next time we need a sitter for Wispa. Thanks!

    Once again excellent service. Neil gave us text updates each day which was very reassuring and do a brilliant job at cleaning up after a very messy cat! We returned to a happy and contented cat.

    Neil was excellent. Good communication throughout. He responded quickly to our request, came to visit before we went away and then emailed a concise summary of everything we had discussed. We were reassured that our pet and our home were in good hands. We returned to a happy cat and a note from Neil.
