About Me
Cat sitter - Camberwell - happy to consider further for overnights
I'm a 42 year old London based media freelancer.
I grew up with cats and always find meeting felines a treat! I'm happy to send photos and updates, give lots of love and attention and carefully follow any cat-care instructions given.
I like to stay fairly local for daytime drop-ins, but will consider travelling within London for overnight stays - feel free to send an enquiry!
I was inspired to sign up after looking after a friend's cat on and off for several weeks. Despite special dietary requirements, feline mental-health considerations (the cat is a rescue cat and often behaves strangely) and an emergency visit to the vet due to illness, we got along famously. I gained lots of experience, adapting to unusual requirements, following instructions from the vet and administering medication. I found the whole thing so rewarding that, when I heard about Cat In A Flat, I knew it was for me!
I don't smoke and would be happy to water indoor plants and take in post if asked.
I've left 'can do injections' un-ticked as I don't yet have any experience doing it. However, I'd be happy to learn and certainly have no objections. I have experience giving pills, gels and liquid medicine to cats, and am keen to keep up and develop this skill.

She made sure to organize all our cat’s details and make notes so we were left assured that our cat (and indeed our flat!) were looked after perfectly while we were away. Alison sent us daily updates and photos, watered our plants and was great at keeping in touch, which was really appreciated and made us feel at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend Alison and would use her without a doubt in the future!

LondonAlison gets a 10+ star rating. She was extremely funny, competent, caring and generous with our 'pride' of four playful but challenging ferals! Finn required pills 2x a day and Alison was able to do with with no problem whatsoever. The entire crew was happy and relaxed when we came home - all down to Alison. She sent hilarious photos at every opportunity with rather apt captions to boot. The cats loved her, we loved her - she is one in a million. Thank you, Alison for all your fantastic work.
