About Me

Cat sitter in London

Hello

Thank you for looking at my profile!

A bit about me: after finding a young cat, hurt and lost, in a road in Putney some summers ago, I decided to do some local cat-sitting and have now looked after cats all over Putney and Wandsworth hill / Putney Bridge for the last 7 years meeting lots of furry friends to whom I return, often, on a recurring basis now.

I will gladly feed, clean and spend some time playing and cuddling puss...

I'm a runner and sometimes do the cat-rounds on my morning run which means I don't always have my phone with me so I limit my correspondence to one text and photo every other day (I try to to every day especially if a cat is young / old / unwell) though I will try and let you know that all is well each day.

I do work full time so can, in general, no longer offer overnight stays and my preference, unless you live off or very near Putney Hill, is just one visit a day (I’m happy to set timed feeders for a second feed).

Also, although I do endeavour to do all morning feeds between 7 and 10am and evening between 6.30 and 8pm, there may be occasions when I have to flex those times -- but your cat will always be caressed, fed and cleaned according to the number of visits agreed per day. I’ll do a full litter change for sits of 5 days and longer and will even mop out the litter area if needed / asked but my primary concern is the welfare of your cat rather than ensuring perfect order!

    Lydia has been absolutely brilliant with saffie! Just enough communication without being over bearing and lovely to know she was being brushed as well as fed and watered! It’s always hard to get a good cat sitter over the Christmas period, but I couldn’t recommend Lydia enough. Thanks so much!

    As always Lydia was great. Pushka is clearly very comfortable with her and that is so reassuring for us. She also communicates with us very well!

    Lydia is fabulous! She's caring, attentive and our shy cat, responds well to her. We feel our cat is given excellent care whilst we're away and we wouldn't consider anyone else.

    Lydia has been wonderful and trustworthy with kindness and patience oozing out of her! We came back to find our cat happy and relaxed. Of course, happy to see us but it felt as if we had only been away for a day rather than twenty!

    Lydia is extremely reliable and professional. She looked after Gus perfectly while we were away and we came back to a calm and content cat. She contacted us just the right amount that we were reassured he was well but also allowed us to enjoy our holiday away. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again in the future

    Lydia has been amazing and she’s full of patience. She came to visit mui mui more than requested, and helped so much to find her, as my cat managed to sneaked out during my holiday. I can really tell mui mui was in good hands.

    I highly recommend Lydia to everyone!

    This is the second time Lydia has looked after our three cats, one of which has diabetes. We would gladly book her again.

    Lydia very kindly agreed at short notice to stay at our house over Christmas and look after our three cats after another sitter cancelled on us. One of our cats has diabetes and Lydia had to inject her twice a day with a VetPen. She updated us daily and we would be very happy for her to sit for us again.

    I cannot recommend Lydia highly enough for cat sitting. We went on a 10 day break and booked Lydia to look after our 2 cats Freddie and Alfie at relatively short notice. During our break unfortunately Freddie sustained an injury to his head from a fight. Lydia bathed his wound, called the vet and although they said he should be ok she even went out to buy special cat cream to put on his wound each day. She updated me throughout the trip to reassure me that he was ok. When we got back the cat feeding area was clean, the cats were well and happy and Freddie although a bit bruised was ok. When I got home, she called me to see how he was doing. I would not hesitate in booking Lydia every time we go away, she is absolutely brilliant and it was great to know my boys were in such safe and caring hands. Thank you Lydia! xxx
