About Me

Auntie Laura to all the kitties!

My name is Laura Roche and I work in Further Education. I don’t have a cat at the moment as my partner is allergic to them, but I had two growing up and loved them dearly. I am ‘Auntie Laura’ to all the cats in my road and often take care of them whilst their owners are away.

I love spending time with cats and find them to be fascinating, charming and hilarious. I love that they all have their own unique personalities, but have lots of silly things in common like loving cardboard boxes and sitting on things they shouldn’t 🤣

I thought Cat in a Flat would be the perfect way to earn some extra cash and get to know some lovely new kitties.

My services include feeding, litter changes, playtime, cuddles and strokes, undivided attention and endless patience.

I love getting to know a new cat and building a trusting relationship with them. It comes naturally to me to read their body language and non-verbal communication and I follow the signals they give me in my interactions with them.

I am also skilled in taking care of nervous and shy cats and I’m extremely patient and careful to respect their boundaries. I have looked after several cats from rescue centres with difficult backgrounds. Nothing gives me greater joy than patiently coaxing an anxious cat out from their hiding place and then slowly creating a safe space for them to feel comfortable and happy with me.

I am happy to be sat on, slept on and also very much enjoy snuggles and cosy times if a cat wants to cuddle. There is no better feeling than having a snoozy cat on your knee and if a kitty chooses to nap on me, I absolutely cannot move them!

I take care of several cats with health issues and I’m confident at administering medication and maintaining their healthcare requirements. I’m also trained to administer subcutaneous injections.

I am completely reliable, trustworthy and honest. I will bore you rigid with photos and videos of your cat while you’re away. You may get many more updates than you were expecting and you might have to tell me to stop so you can get on with enjoying your trip 🤣

All the kitties in my care have a special place in my heart and I look after them as though they are my own 😻

    Our cat is elderly and we're always reluctant to leave her, but it makes it so much easier to know that she is being looked after well, and getting all the lovely photos and videos so we know she's happy with Laura. Thanks again!

    Once again Laura has been the perfect cat sitter while I was away for 3 weeks. I had daily photo and video updates and could see that my cat was being very well looked after. I have come home to a very happy and healthy cat. It is so good to know Laura is being so attentive and caring for my cat while I am away.

    Could not recommend Laura enough, she is simply the best! She kept us up to date every morning and evening on our babies and fed them, watered them played with them and even administered their medications. Her communication was absolutely brilliant & her love for the cats really shined through everything! Will always be using Laura from now on :)

    Once again Laura has been an amazing cat sitter, taking such good care of Cookie and sending through pics and videos from every visit. I’ve come home to a very happy, chilled cat who has been very well looked after. Many thanks

    Laura is amazing & always keeps us in the loop with how Pedro is doing! He took to her so well form the first visit, which says a lot as he is a shy cat! It’s so nice being able to go away knowing he is in safe hands. She looks after him so well & he is always a happy kitty when we return home! He definitely will miss Laura until next time.🩷

    Laura goes above and beyond when minding our cats. It is difficult to explain how complex a job Laura had this time round, and she was amazing throughout! I would strongly recommend Laura as a cat sitter.

    We had Laura back for a second time to look after our elderly cat Siren, who gets lonely and follows us from room to room for company. Laura gave her loads of fuss and sent the cutest videos of her having cuddles. It's so good to know she was happy while we were away! Thanks, Laura!

    Laura was amazing with Pedro. She sent us updates through pictures and videos on every visit! Everything was perfect when we got back. Pedro took to Laura so well, even though he is a usually a little scaredy cat. Would definitely recommend her.

    Laura gets on really well with our shy pair. They don't take easily to new people and Laura has won them over. She's great!

    Cookie, and myself, are delighted with the service provided by Laura while I was away for 2 weeks. I came home to a super relaxed cat and I could see she had been very well cared for. I received lovely photo updates for each indivdiual visit and could not be happier with Laura's updates and reliability. Will 100% use again in the future.

    Laura is great! She looks after our two cats really well. They're shy, but she managed to win them over with patience & kindness. They now look forward to her visits.

    Laura looked after our two cats so well while we were away! They're both elderly and one is a fussy eater who has recently been put on medication, so she takes quite a bit of coaxing to make her eat. We hadn't been sure about going away, but Laura sent us videos every day that were really reassuring. Will definitely hire again!

    Laura was amazing, she kept my 3 cats happy and entertained for the week and communicated brilliantly. We all enjoyed seeing her video and photo updates. We were nervous about leaving our cats but having Laura cat sit for us was a huge pressure off and helped us relax. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book again.

    Laura was brilliant and went above and beyond looking after Schmunks. He is a timid cat but warmed to her instantly. We had regular updates too for complete peace of mind, can highly recommend Laura

    We were apprehensive about leaving our brand new kittens for the first time whilst we travelled with work, but we could not be happier with Laura. Cosmo and Merlin absolutely love her, she’s communicative, attentive, and clearly loves cats (and the feeling is mutual!). We would recommend Auntie Laura to anyone!

    Laura has been fantastic as always. She went way beyond what is expected and came to our rescue when we were away and one of our cats needed medication collected from the vets. She gave us plenty of updates and reassured us on how our cat was doing. I cannot recommend Laura more highly.

    This was the first time we’ve used a pet sitting service so we were a bit nervous but everything went very smoothly. Laura is a very calm person and put our nervous senior cats at ease, and was able to administer medicine with no problems. Laura sent us daily updates and photos which we really appreciated and it was very reassuring.

    Laura was the perfect cat sitter and would not hesitate to recommend you book her sometime - just as long as it's not when we want to hire her services again! Excellent overall service, communication and a genuine cat person who loves her work. Many thanks Laura from the Knight's and Luna the Floof.

    Laura looked after our cat Mog over the Easter weekend and she was fantastic! She sent lots of pics and videos of him, although he was being shy haha, which really put our mind at rest and kept us updated! We will definitely book her again in the future; thank you Laura!! Xxx

    This is the third time we have asked Laura to look after Finn and Anakin, and each time we are able to go away, not worrying about our cats as we know that Laura takes great care of them! They are so relaxed with her! The photos and videos also provide lots of reassurance as we can see that our boys are happy with Laura! :)

    Laura was simply wonderful with our cats. It was the first time we left Finn and Anakin to a cat sitter, and for so long (2 weeks). We had daily updates via videos and photos and our worries were gone as we could see that Laura was taking amazing care of the cats and they were having the best time whilst we were away! We will definitely use Laura's help again in the future, our boys were so happy with her!
