About Me

Cat sitting in Balham

I am a lifelong cat lover but am now unfortunately catless so get my purr fix from Cat in a Flat. I have been cat sitting via the website since 2019 and have lots of loyal customers. There’s always room for one more, though, so please get in touch.

I work part-time two days a week for a local charity so have plenty of cat hours available.

I live in Balham, SW12 and am happy to look after any cats within a couple of miles or so of where I live. Most of the ones I currently look after are in the Hyde Farm area but the northern ends of Streatham and Tooting and the southern end of Brixton are also fine.

I aim to spend a minimum of 20 minutes per visit with your cat and play with him/her if that’s what they want . Some just want to be brushed or cuddled which is fine too.

I’m also happy to pick up post, water plants and put the bins out.

    Debbie is an amazing friend for cats. My cat, Sapio, absolutely adores her. She sends me heartwarming photos of them together every day.

    Debbie is always quick to respond and highly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring vacation companion for their furry friends.

    Debbie was excellent. She built trust with not only our more outgoing cat but also our more reticent cat. She took time to play with both of them. She sent us daily updates and photos. When we needed an extra visit due to a problem that we had spotted on our cat cameras, she very quickly went to check on the cats and updated us.

    Debbie was brilliant - this was our first time leaving Tilly while we went on holiday and we were worried she would be lonely as she’s usually very timid and hides whenever someone new visits. It didn’t take long for Tilly to warm to Debbie and there were cuddles and belly rubs just a few days in! The regular updates and photos were so reassuring, we really appreciated it. We will definitely be booking Debbie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
