About Me

Niall Woodson & Whiskers

Welcome to Woodson and Whiskers!

I'm Niall Woodson (the owner and founder) of the business. With over 10 years of experience in animal care, including 5 years of working for various veterinary practices in and around London, you really should look no further.

I am 26 years old, have a BA (Hons) degree in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre and I am lucky enough to be enjoying a career in the West End. As well as performing, I have a huge passion for animal care and well-being, which is how (and why), Woodson & Whiskers was created, just over 3 years ago now.

I am DBS checked and hold private insurance of my own, with Pet Plan Sanctuary. This ensures you can travel comfortably, knowing that your little one(s) are in safe hands, even in the unlikely event of an emergency occuring whilst under my care 🙂

My visits typically include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Food (provided daily and as requested by you)
  • Water (freshly provided on a daily basis)
  • Litter (scooped on a daily basis)
  • Cuddles
  • Playtime
  • Hoovering of your home (to prevent the build up of cat fur!)
  • Medications (comfortable with all forms, including oral, topical and injections).
  • Nail Clips (an optional extra dependant on behaviour - provided at an additional cost of £20 per pet)
  • If you have any further requirements, please discuss these with me and I will do my best to accommodate.

A meet and greet will always be provided before any booking is accepted by myself (free of charge for new clients). This allows us all to become better acquainted but most importantly, gives you the chance to meet me and make sure that I am the right sitter for you. As the owner of 2 British Shorthair boys myself, I understand all to well how daunting it can be leaving them behind and so it's really important to me that you feel comfortable before booking in.

Feel free to head on over to our Instagram page (the little red camera icon below), to see more of the work I do, including behind the scenes footage of myself with existing clients. Alternatively, don't hesitate to send your enquiry over to 07803819984 and I will be more than happy to help.

I look forward to hearing from you!

    We used this app for first time and Niall provided an excellent experience. Cats loved him, even our shyest cat warmed up to him. He went above and beyond looking after our boys and even cleaned our flat. He was prompt to message back and we didn't have any worries while we were gone. We are looking forward to using Niall services in future :).

    Absolutely amazing! Niall went above and beyond to take care of my Pirpi while I was away. They provided daily updates, including photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat were so relaxed and happy when I returned, and it’s clear he received lots of love and attention. Reliable, caring, and professional—highly recommend!

    Niall has been so good to our beloved Eddie! He has looked after him during the festive period and when we got back home we found and happy well groomed cat, Niall also went the extra mile making sure Eddie was happy and entertained, every cat is different and he understood what Eddie routines are and how he likes to play!

    Niall was an amazing cat sitter for Bella! He stepped in when our regular cat sitter was busy. He was so patient with her as she was nervous at first, and he updated us throughout, keeping our minds at ease. We felt completely comfortable trusting him with her care and would definitely recommend his pet-sitting services! Thank you Niall! :)

    Niall was wonderful, he took great care of our two cats, feeding them, changing their water and litter, and also playing with them. We got regular updates and he was easy to reach and communicate with the whole time. It was much easier to relax during our holidays knowing they were in such good hands. Thanks Niall!

    Excellent. Responsive, friendly, proactive updates. Knows what to do with cats, helped refresh my cat's water fountain without being asked to. Definitely worth the price!

    Niall was absolutely brilliant with my two cats while I was away. He took great care of them, making sure they were well-fed and happy. Niall also cleaned their litter box and water fountain. His attention to detail was spot on, and he sent regular updates that put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Niall and will definitely be booking him again!

    Just got home from a two week stay in the US whilst Niall took care of my cat Willa. I was nervous leaving Willa for so long, but Niall put me at ease. We had a meet and greet and I knew she would be in good hands. He provided me with regular updates and videos, gave Willa her medicine and came home to a happy cat!

    Niall was utterly superb, from the meet and greet beforehand to the visits during our trip, including daily updates with photos and videos. One of our cats has issues with the litter tray and needs oral meds daily, Niall took it in his stride and was so reassuring. I would not hesitate to recommend him and trust him with our cats again.

    Niall is absolutely fantastic. Really takes the time to get to know your cats. He provides plenty of play and cuddles with them as well as providing regular updates to their humans about how they are getting on. It’s the second time we have used his services and we highly recommend him.

    Niall is an excellent and experienced cat sitter. We recently hired Niall to watch out for our cat Cleo while we were away on holiday. We were gone for 2 weeks and I was initially very worried about leaving Cleo at home for so long. Niall immediately put us at ease. Due to his work as a vets assistant and through his own experience as an owner of two cats we were happy to leave Cleo in his very capable hands. He kept us informed of how Cleo was doing while we were away, sending videos of her playing and cuddling. She looked very happy and was comfortable with him. However, the true test of a person is not how they handle themselves when things are easy but rather how the cope when things are hard. At around day 10 of our trip away, Cleo stopped eating (this was very worrying because Cleo ALWAYS eats). Niall informed us immediately of the situation and continued to monitor how she was doing. When she still did not eat the next day, Niall was able to use his skills to give her a preliminary examination, checking her temperature, and looking out for the usual symptoms she would exhibit if she had eaten something she shouldn't have. When he gave her the all clear but she still wasn't eating he called us and arranged for her to go and see our vet. The vet also could see nothing wrong with her in the usual sense and both Niall and the vet believed it was likely due to her having a bit of an upset stomach. Niall was fantastic during this time, not only putting up with my calls and texts to check on her, but also bringing her in other foods to eat and treats as well as visiting her more than we had booked him in for, just to monitor how she was doing. The sickness passed after another day and Cleo is back to being her old self again, but I am eternally grateful that we had a true professional like Niall looking out for her during this time. Not only did he prove that he is cool and calm in a crisis but he also showed a lot of love for our wee Cleo and we will definitely be using him again!

    Niall is so lovely to our animals I don't think they miss us at all! He looked after our 4 rats and 2 rabbits. When we came home they had been cleaned thoroughly and they were very happy. Thanks Niall from Cooper, Quinn, Rex, Pinky, Elmo and Buddy 🐾

    Genuinely blown away by how amazing Niall has been. Not only did I come back to an insanely happy purry (very difficult) cat, but the flat was absolutely spotless, all three cats incredibly relaxed & clearly incredibly well looked after. Genuinely the best cat sitter I have ever used, Niall I cannot thank you enough. ♥️

    Niall house sat for us for 2 weeks whilst looking after our little old Charlie - and we wouldn’t have anyone else. He cared for Charlie as if he was his own, they are firm friends! Charlie was happy, healthy and clearly very well looked after when we got back - although I think his misses cuddles with Niall! House was in great order too and the communication with Niall was fantastic throughout. Fully, fully recommend Niall, he’s a great carer, very knowledgeable and made sure he had done his homework on how to look after Charlie before he came to stay - including all our little quirks! Thank you Niall, you are an absolute star.

    This is our first time using Cat in a Flat as we had to leave our cats for a month. Niall looked after them very well, despite one of our cats refusing to accept strangers. Niall was allowed to pet them very quickly which was very surprising. He updated us very often on their progress was clearly a hit with them. We are very grateful to Niall for looking after them and it's a no brainer to hire him again to look after them in the future!

    He is the chosen one! My little lockdown-raised, socially inept furry child was safe and happy whilst I was away and even (eventually) let Niall pet her! He was great at staying in contact and putting me and ease as well as being a really lovely person that I was happy to entrust my home and kitty to! Thank you again Niall!

    This was my first time finding a Cat sitter from Cat in a Flat & leaving our cat for nearly 2 weeks. Niall has been so great with Cloudy & so good at keeping us posted with pics & Cloudy’s daily routine. I am so happy & grateful to Niall for being there for Cloudy & all he has done, as well as keeping us in the loop. Thanks ever so much Niall, you are great at your job & you will always be my first choice anytime I go away & leave our boy behind. Wish you all the best, take care Kind Regards Sabrina

    Naill looked over Mercy with love and care. Knowing she was being looked after by him was one less worry for us at a particularly difficult time and we came home to a very happy cat who now sits and waits by the door whenever we come home!

    Niall was great - reliable, friendly and really cared for our 2 cats. I felt safe leaving them with him especially as he already knew them from his work at our vets. We came home to 2 happy well cared for cats. Niall is very good at seeing each cats individuality and treating them accordingly - eg one of our cats is very shy so he let her be, but the other cat is very confident and cuddly so he got lots of cuddles. Highly recommend Niall and we will use him next time we go away.

    Niall was a wonderful cat sitter and would highly recommend. He kept us updated on how she was doing with regular messages and photos. Niall was very accommodating with us when we needed to extend the duration due to personal circumstances and we can't thank him enough for his excellent care.

    Niall looked after Charlie brilliantly! He had memorised our slightly ridiculous routines straight away and made a real effort to make friends with him. Niall even popped back on an extra hot day to check there was enough water and cool spots for him. We received regular updates and photos and Niall made sure he was doing everything in the best way. He cared for him as if he was his own cat. I’m not very good with trusting other people to look after Charlie but would definitely ask Niall to care for him again. We came home to a very cheery cat! Thank you!
