About Me

Alley Cats and Moggies Cat Sitting Service

Hi.. I absolutely adore cats and, this is the first time ever that I have not had at least one cat in my family.. I recently moved to live in a first floor apartment which is next to a busy train line, not really the best location for a cat to live in so, the next best thing is to help look after other people’s moggies! I have recently retired and so have much more time to spare, when I’m not helping to look after my young granddaughter. Update... During lock down I decided to offer a home to a rescue cat so, I now have Lana living with me. She is a pure white house cat so, the proximity of the train line is not a problem.

I am happy to offer one or two daily visits to your moggy and stay as long as you think needed.. I can play with them , feed them, empty litter trays or just chill out with them on my lap. I actually grew up in a pet shop and so am also a dab hand at caring for fish and any other small animals, (sorry, not dogs though).. Watering plants would also not be an issue for me.

    This is the 2nd time I’ve use Marilyn & we felt comfortable knowing she was looking after belle. Our cat isn’t the easiest of cats but Marilyn made sure she talked to her & fed and watered belle twice a day. Cannot reccomended Marilyn enough x

    This is the first time using Cat in a Flat for my 2 elderly cats. I chose Marilynn who was local to myself and had been given excellent reviews for other owners. Marilynn is a lovely lady, and I will not hestitate to book again for my next holidays. Both my cats are only used to me. It was lovely to see them very happy and relaxed on my return.

    I always use Marilyn’s services to look after my ragdoll, Gino, when I go away. She’s fantastic, and I would always recommend her (so would Gino)! She kindly sends pictures of Gino while I’m away, and gives him a cuddle and a brush (which he loves). She also watered my house plants as they were looking a little sad and thirsty. See you next time!

    Marilyn is a fantastic sitter! She came and visited us before her cat sitting time, which we massively appreciated. She sent us photos of our little boy. Will definitely be using Marilyn again. Lovely lady who obviously loves cats too. Thank you!
