About Me

Cat sitter in Twickenham

Hello. My name is Mark. I grew up in Liverpool in a big family with lots of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, goldfish and a tortoise named Fritz. To say we were animal lovers is a bit of an understatement...

I now live in Twickenham with my girlfriend Clementine and our three cats. We adopted Luna from Battersea Cats and Dogs home in 2016 and the "kittens" Sauzelle and Vik came to join us during lockdown in 2020.

I have a level 3 diploma in Feline Welfare, Care and Behaviour and am currently studying towards a level 5 advanced diploma in Feline Behaviour as well as over 3 years experience working with cats in both domestic and rescue settings.

I love cats and understand how important it is that they are properly cared for whilst you're away.

As well as feeding your cat I will offer them a big cuddle, some play time and as much stroking and brushing as they require. Alternatively, as some cats are shyer than others, I can simply be a quiet companion offering a lap to sit upon if and when desired. I will clean any bowls and clear the litter tray daily as well as keeping you updated with regular photos and videos whilst you're away.

Visits are normally 30 minutes long but am happy to arrange a longer visit if that's what you (or your cats) would prefer.

Whether your cat loves to chase toys, eat treats, get cuddles or simply have someone to hang out and chat with, I'll make sure they get the attention that you want and they need.

    We just wish there were more stars to give you Mark! Five isn’t enough. If you are someone looking for a cat sitter, Mark is simply wonderful and we know Edith is always in safe and caring hands with Mark.

    As ever Edith was incredibly well cared for by lovely Mark who just absolutely understands cats. Edith can be really shy if not approached in the right way and she loves and feels comfortable with Mark (as we can see in the beautiful photos or videos that he sends of her being her most comfortable self with him!)

    As ever Mark was brilliant, we would never dare leave our cat for eight days without his care for her. He is such a lovely person and is so knowledgable about cats, he understands them so well. Our cat is timid but loves him and is so happy and settled with him.

    Thank you Mark!

    Mark is fabulous! It is so good to be able to go away and not worry about Edith. Mark loves cats and this is so clear from how Edith our nervous cat adopts him each time he visit!

    This was Mark's third time looking after Shadow and again he did an excellent job. I got an update, with a photo or video, after every visit. It makes going away so much more enjoyable knowing Shadow is being so well looked after. I'd recommend Mark & will be using his services in the future.

    This was the second time Mark has looked after Shadow. Again he took great care of her sending photos after every visit. As well as feeding & playing with her he even warmed her hot water bottle in the microwave on his evening visit! I’d highly recommend Mark & have already booked him for my next trip.

    Mark took great care of Shadow. I think she was disappointed when I came home! The booking and key collection process with Mark was straightforward. He sent pictures or videos of Shadow relaxing or playing after every visit. He has a great love of cats which shows in the care he gives. I’d highly recommend Mark & will be using him for future trips.

    Mark is incredible, you’ll see from my other reviews just how many times we have had the good fortune to have Mark look after our cat and how much we appreciate how he looks after our cat with so much care.

    Thank you!

    Mark was fantastic! Our cat Juniper is very shy and normally hides from strangers, but she trusted Mark right from the start and even allowed him to pat her. Mark also sent us detailed updates and photos every day, so we always felt that Juniper was well taken care of. Will definitely book Mark again!

    Our cat absolutely loves Mark, bearing in mind that she is a rather timid rescue cat this is quite something. She snuggles with him when he comes to visit and is really at ease with him. Thank you Mark yet again!

    Mark is wonderful and understands animals so well. My cat is a rescue cat but absolutely loves him, I think she probably looks forward to us going away so that she gets to see him!

    Mark did an amazing job looking after our cats Luna and Set! With Luna who does not like strangers he did his best to be as attentive as Luna allowed. With Set it seems that they've become new best friends;) We got great photos and videos. Mark was so responsive the entire time, so we knew Luna and Set were in the best hands.

    As ever Mark was perfect for Edith, he sent such beautiful photos of her snuggling each day that he could have a second career! Edith is often scared of people so testament to Mark that she clearly loves him! The amount of purring in the videos going on……! :) I can’t recommend him highly enough

    This is the second time Mark has looked after my cat for me and I feel completely at ease knowing he is looking after her well. His daily updates are informative and always come with a happy photo or video of my cat adoring his attention.

    Mark is a brilliant, trustworthy and caring cat sitter who I cannot fault. He has looked after our cat several times now and he always provides updates as well as genuinely providing love, time and affection to our cat. I’d thoroughly recommend Mark!

    Mark has been a fantastic cat sitter. From the questions he asked at the first meeting to the detailed daily updates, I had complete peace of mind. He was totally patient with my cat and gave her the opportunity to trust him so that she could enjoy plenty of fuss. I came home to a happy cat :) Would definitely recommend.

    Mark is so lovely and Edith my cat is a connoisseur of people. As a nervous cat, she warmed to him so quickly and was sitting on his lap which is unheard of! He was incredibly gentle and caring and I could tell so quickly that he really loves cats.

    Mark is a great cat sitter. He took note of all the special requirements we had for Hilda, who needs medication and special food for IBD, he sent me detailed updates at every visit and made sure both Hilda and Twig were very well taken care of. He really went above and beyond with Hilda who needs lots of extra attention. I highly recommend Mark and have already booked him again for another visit.

    Mark was amazing with our cat but also with us! Scotty was very happy and relaxed when we came back after a week holiday. During his morning and evening visits, he sent us photos and videos and kept us informed on his general health. He adapted to the needs of our cat who needs to play a lot. Very happy with Mark and we would not hesitate to get him again :)

    Many thanks to Mark for looking after our 2 cats Alfie and Florence for a week, he went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable after a rocky start for Florence who had not enjoyed that we had separated her downstairs. Mark was very communicative and both Alfie and Florence warmed to him very quickly. Will be looking to book Mark again for our next trip away!

    Mark was a wonderful sitter and carer for my two elderly cats. Not only did he send regular updates and pictures / videos but be noticed and advised me of any small changes in their behaviour. It was most reassuring having Mark look after them. Will definitely book Mark again.

    Mark was great with my cat, he immediately understood her personality (she is quite shy!) and won her over whilst I was away. He has been very friendly and attentive, and he sent me lots of updates which made my trip away more relaxed! Highly recommend
