About Me

I didnt choose the cat life, the catlife chose me

It’s so hard to write this without sounding like a crazy cat lady, which I am.

I work as an Executive Assistant in Mayfair. I’d love to have cats but my landlord won’t let me. I really miss being around cats, which is why I'm cat sitting.

I had cats all my life until I moved out of my mum's house when I was 18. One cat had diabetes, so I know a number of ways to get a cat to swallow a tablet, and also the skill of making them comfortable enough to inject them without them really noticing. I'm fine administering any other medication as required: eye and ear drops, liquid oral meds, flea meds, cleaning the eyes of Persians.

I hated leaving my cat alone when I went away, and I understand how difficult it can be to find the right person to look after them, and that for a lot of people it's a big step letting someone they don't know into their home. I take that trust very seriously and will look after your cats and your home as I would my own. Every cat sitter should approach a cat sitting job as though there are nanny cams in the house - do the job as you said you would, with total respect for the house. In this day and age nanny cams are cheap and easy to install, so there could be some!

I think I've learnt a lot from Jackson Galaxy. If you have a friendly cat, I'll give them loads of attention. I can give shy cats their space and win them over (food tends to do that) I'll brush the cat if they allow it, make sure their water bowls and litter are clean and fresh, and of course empty their cat litter into the OUTSIDE bin so the house doesn't smell weird. I know how important playing with a cat is for their mental well being: I find laser pointer is the best (and the easiest!)

I will send you daily photo updates via email/whatsapp. Feel free to get in touch and ask for more information. Police checked, Cat in a Flat Verified.

    Alicia has looked after our kitten, Pepper, twice now while we've been away and we've always come home to a happy and relaxed boy. She is very communicative and reliable, sends videos and pictures so we can see him while away and always plays with him well (and builds him forts that he loves)! We would def try to her book her first for future trips

    Alicia was amazing. Really personable and she very clearly has a love of cats. Made lots of effort with our shy cat and really won him over. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

    Alicia was fantastic! She kept me informed of all entire visits with videos and photos and spent a lot of time playing and cuddling with my baby. My cat is very needy and loves attention so definitely felt less guilty for leaving her for 2 weeks! Would 100% use Alicia again in the future !

    Our cat Mango was always shy but she has become extra unsure of other people after the covid lockdowns leading to a long time with just us and no visitors. We were amazed how comfortable she was with Alicia despite not having seen her for several months. Alicia is so good at making her happy and relaxed and spends extra time giving her affection and social time after she has eaten. She also sends us loads of videos and keeps in constant contact with us. Would highly recommend Alicia if you want someone who will take the extra effort to understand your cat’s unique quirks and also take genuine joy out of spending time with them!

    Alicia was a superb cat sitter and I felt completely reassured leaving my 1 year old energetic cat Stevie with Alicia for the weekend. Alicia has a great nature with cats and was able to bond with Stevie very quickly. I received video updates from each visit and returned to a happy cat :)

    This was the second time Ali has looked after our cats and she was brilliant again. She will definitely be our go to cat sitter whenever we go away. It is so reassuring to get the daily video updates

    Alicia took care of our cat Jazz twice in the last few weeks and was absolutely brilliant! Was very communicative, sent us loads of great photos/videos, played and cuddled with Jazz who of course loved her! We would absolutely recommend Alicia and would not hesitate for a second in asking her to take care of jazz again!

    Alicia went over and above what we anticipated when looking after our Snugz. He bonded very well with her and our boys were thrilled with the daily videos she sent to us while we were away. Highly recommend. Really puts our mind at rest for next time!

    We were so lucky to get Alicia to look after our cat. She quickly bonded with our shy Skotta and sent us lots of videos and updates while we were away. Her lovely energy, down to earth presence, and reliability were much appreciated. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

    First time I’ve had an unknown cat sitter and I was apprehensive to say the least. On meeting Alicia, her demeanour is calm and soothing and my furbaby walked past her with tail proud in the air, that I knew my baby would be in safe hands. I looked forward to my videos and came back to a well looked after kitty. Alicia will definitely be booked again!!! Thanks a million.

    We needed a sitter at short notice after another cancelled on us, so we appreciated that Alicia responded so quickly and was flexible in finding time to come collect the keys and meet our cat. She clearly has a genuine love for cats and showered ours with attention during the sitting period. We came home to a happy and relaxed cat and a tidy house so cannot ask for anything more really!

    It was an absolute pleasure to have Alicia taking care of my fur babies - and they can be quite a handful! They adored her From the moment she met them and she did everything to make them comfortable and taken care of. She sent plenty of videos and pictures and sent regular communications to reassure us that they were doing well. I would highly recommended Alicia and will definitely be looking to her first to look after my babies next time! Thank you so so much!!

    Ali was brilliant at keeping us updated on how our cats were doing. We came home to relaxed and happy cats which was great. Our cats were a little unsure of having someone new in their home but Ali was patient with them, letting them have space when they needed it but still giving them a fuss when they wanted it. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Ali again.

    Ali was amazing and my kitty just loved her. She was excellent at communicating, sent me lots of videos, so i could see how happy and well kitty was doing. She was very attentive and I returned to a very relaxed and happy cat.

    What can I say about Ali? I'm not sure we could have found someone better to take care of our fluffball whilst we were away.

    The care and attention she gave were amazing, so many videos and updates really put our minds at ease.

    My only minor gripe would be that our cat loved her a bit too much and is super grumpy that we're back and that she doesn't have Ali instead.

    We would absolutely highly recommend her and can't wait to use her again the next time we are away.

    Great catsitter - friendly, good with Leo (our cat) , and we got lots of photos and videos, so knew Leo was having a nice weekend while we were away. Thanks!

    Ali was as always, superb. My cat has been so scared of the fireworks recently she became so anxious. Ali went out of her way to spend time with Coco and try to relax her. She sent videos daily and really put my mind at rest. Thank you!

    Leaving our cat in such safe hands made going away much easier. Alicia sent us lots of pictures and videos, and made sure we came home to a happy cat who'd received plenty of attention in our absence. She was quick to respond to messages and easy to deal with. She also very obviously loves cats! I'd happily recommend her to anyone else looking for a cat sitter.

    This was the first time leaving my fur babies with a sitter so I was naturally a bit nervous. Ali however made the process smooth by coming to meet my babies beforehand and sent video updates daily. Will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter who knows how to manage different pet personalities.

    Alicia did a great job with Simba. She came round twice a day and sent us a bunch of pictures and videos each time so we knew he was OK. She kept him well fed and played with him every day. When we got back you could tell he'd been well looked after. A very happy kitten.

    Alicia is absolutely reliable, she updated how Lalita was in every visit, and looked after her with so much care and dedication, mainly because Lalita needed to take a lot of meds. I would recommend Alicia a hundred percent.

    Ali was great from the start. Sasky has been a little sick recently and needed to have mediation and to be fed at certain times of the day at certain intervals. Ali was great with all of this and managed to get Sasky to have her pills daily which was great. The daily videos and pictures really put my mind at ease. I will be re-booking Ali again to look after Sasky when I next go away. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone who needs a reliable relaxed and friendly cat sitter.

    Really happy, enjoyed getting the photos and videos even though I was only away for one night. This will definitely help when we are away for longer next time as I miss them terribly. It was lovely to see Stella relaxed and enjoying being fussed by Ali and if both Stella and Bud approve of her then I’m happy too!

    Alicia went out of her way to accomodate a last minute request and made sure my two cats got plenty of love and attention. While I was away she sent me pictures and videos. Thank you so much and I hope you are available again next time we need a cat sitter :)

    Our cats adored Alicia - even the shy one (who takes ages to get used to anyone) was comfortable with her from the first visit. Thank god she insisted on trying the spare key before we left - I'd just had it cut and it didn't work! that could have been a nightmare. She managed both cat’s different diets and medication, was easily contactable and sent us regular updates and funny videos of them playing with her - they clearly love her. Most importantly, the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home, so I couldn't be more pleased with Alicia’s service. Her love of cats is obvious. I would recommend her to anyone, everything I could have hoped for from a cat sitter. Alicia, I’ll definitely call you next time I go away.
