About Me

Reliable, Experienced, Friendly East London Sitter (and cat owner) who loves cats and all animals!

Hi, my name is Rachel and I live next to London Fields, Hackney. I am a lifelong animal lover! I am a human mum to my 3 beautiful rescue cats Coxy, Frankie and the newest addition to the family - Peggy!

I have had cats my entire life and absolutely love them! There is nothing better than coming home after a hard day at work to be greeted at the door by 3 happy feline faces, purring away and so happy to see you!

I have used Cat in a Flat to book sitters for about 3 years and I really understand how it feels to leave your precious furry felines and go away. I have been so lucky to have had such amazing sitters who have put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my holiday and I wanted to offer my services in return :)

I will send photos and update with each visit (I know from experience how important this is) so you can relax and enjoy your break :)

I will of course take any dietary requirements seriously and will make sure routine is not disrupted while your away.

Please do contact me if you would like any further information, or would like me to meet you and your precious furry felines before you go away to go through their routine and to make sure you feel comfortable

I work in the NHS and am DBS checked :)

I hope to meet you and your furry family soon xxx

I will visit and give your kitty lots of attention, playtime, grooming and give lots of cuddles and strokes (if I'm allowed :) )

I love lap time if your cat likes that too!

If required, I am happy to give oral medication

Feed and clean bowls, fresh water daily and cleaning litter trays.

I'm happy to water plants/garden and bring in post if needed.

    We asked Rachel to look after our cats a second time, after she cared for them so well in the summer. Once again, she sent lots of photos and videos; the cats were happy and rushed to meet her when she arrived. She clearly loves cats and has a lovely manner with them: they trusted her straight away! Thanks again! 🐾🐾

    Rachel was great! I got lots of updates from her whilst I was away and she managed to get our nervous Flo out from under the sofa (his usual hiding spot!) to come and say hi and have some dreamies after only a few days! Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again in the future 😊!

    Rachel went above and beyond in taking care of our two cats, including be mindful of our anxious one, providing daily video updates, and so much more. They were happy and healthy when we returned and for that we’re so grateful!

    Rachel is mazing! She took excellent care of my cat, showing incredible patience and kindness. My shy cat warmed up to her, thanks to Rachel’s friendly and caring nature. With her experience and genuine love for cats, I felt completely at ease. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a fantastic cat sitter!

    Rachel came and cared for our two cats twice a day and they clearly trusted her as they ran in from the garden when she arrived. She sent photos and videos for every visit, so we could see how happy and relaxed the cats were. We are so pleased to have found Rachel and will definitely ask her to cat-sit next time we all go away. Thank you! 🐾🐾🙏🏻

    I booked Rachel and she was amazing! She met with me on two occasions before I went away to finalise plans and routine for my cat Lucky. And when I was away she provided me with daily video updates to let me know how Lucky was getting on and it was very reassuring to know she was safe and well. I will definitely book Rachel again!

    I highly recommend Rachel as your cat sitter. Rachel is such a cat lover, and after our initial meet up,we knew she was perfect to look after our babies whilst we went away. Each day we received videos and updates on our cats. We will definitely use Rachel again, as she gave us such confidence she looked after our cats.

    Rachel was the perfect cat-sitter, giving us twice-daily updates with detail on how our little guy was getting on. She was kind, reliable and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure our cat was well taken care of. Many, many thanks!

    Rachel was great with Penny & Mahi! We loved the regular update's, with commentary. If they refused to come in, Rachel would come back later. It meant that we could enjoy our holiday without having to worry. You couldn’t ask for a better cat-sitter than Rachel. 100% recommended.

    Rachel was again wonderful with my sweet and nervous little Nina. She sends plenty of photo and video updates which are super appreciated. I am always reassured knowing my babygirl is getting her food, pets, and playtime from a kind and loving human. My little diva is always content upon my return. Thank you, Rachel!

    Rachel was absolutely wonderful with my girls. Pan had been feeling poorly and Rachel kindly checked in on them over the 24 hours while I was away, sending me plenty of photo and video updates which I was so grateful for. I felt reassured leaving them in her care and would ask for her help again! Thank you so much Rachel!

    Rachel is absolutely brilliant! I came home to a very happy and relaxed cat, I was very much at ease with Rachel looking after Albus, who is generally quite a nervous little cat! I would highly recommend Rachel and would love for her to sit Albus again 😊
