About Me
Cat sitter in Watford
I'm Petra, 34 year-old cat lover and lifelong cat owner. My own cat just turned 20 this year, and she's still busy running around and causing mayhem whenever she can.
Unfortunately I had to leave her behind with my parents when I moved to London, because my flat is pet-free, so now I miss her horribly and need to cuddle other people's cats to compensate for it.
Cats have always been a huge soft spot for me, and my parents complain that I spoil them, but I simply can't say no to those eyes. As such, I'm willing to provide top-level care, with everything your cat could ever need.
I'm happy to do both a check-in and overnight stays, if necessary, in order to provide all the cuddles and playing your cat can possibly want. I'm easy going, down-to-earth and reliable (I work in the legal field in my main job, so I have been very thoroughly checked by multiple companies). Catsitting would not be something I would do for money, but rather for the opportunity to have a few hours where I can cuddle adorable cats. The money is just a nice bonus :)

WatfordPetra did another splendid job of looking after Smudgie. She was rewarded with some appreciative cuddles and a gift of the furry kind from the cat!! I love the photos too.

WatfordThe best catsitter out there. My cats trusted Petra immediately and were so happy with pets she was giving them 😊 I felt very calm being away as Petra provided daily updates that made me feel my cats are in good hands and taken care of.

Covering for my little man while I was at a last minute conference she has been personable, caring and provided regular updates while I was way allowing me to relax and focus on my work. I have returned home to a happy little man that has been attended and well cared for. Thankyou Petra

WatfordPetra is João’s (our elderly baby cat) best friend. It has happened. We’re very happy about it but we’re also very jealous. Couldn’t recommend her more.

WatfordPetra is already part of the family, especially if you ask João. Once again we came home to an annoyingly happy and satisfied cat - she doesn't even look like she's missed us! ;) We couldn't recommend Petra more.

WatfordPetra went above and beyond to take amazing care of Chester while I was in the States. She sent regular photos and videos and it was clear how happy and relaxed Chester was with her - so relaxed that he fell asleep on her lap every evening!! I was nervous being so far away from him but knowing he was with Petra my mind was completely at ease :)

WatfordWe went away for 2 weeks, the longest we have left our babies and missed them so much. Petra gave us so much reassurance and we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday. We had daily updates, lots of photos and our babies looked very happy and content. We have booked Petra multiple times and she doesn't disappoint! Thank u!

WatfordPetra gave us daily updates with lots of photos and videos. She gave us real peace of mind that our babies were so well looked after and had lots of fuss. Once home the house was clean and tidy which is also an important factor for us. Our babies were not too bothered to greet us which is a good indicator they were happy and content whilst we were away! Lol. We would highly recommend Petra 👌

WatfordPetra is an integral part of us going on holidays 😂 João, our cat, loves her, so much so that we’re sometimes a bit jealous. And, yesterday, she was a lifesaver when our flight got cancelled last minute. I can’t recommend her enough.

WatfordPetra was brilliant. She sent lots of photos and also gave daily updates on our babies. 2 of our cats are nervous and I was so please at how quickly they started to respond to Petra. I would highly recommend and definitely 10/10!

WatfordPetra was great, she sent updates every day (pictures and videos) and was kind enough to always answer back when we texted her. João is a spoiled old cat and she needs some meds, and Petra took good care of her. She was happy and not that needy when we came home; signs that she had a good time.

LondonThis is the third time Petra has looked after Maike and Lotte and as ever she has done a fantastic job, going above and beyond to make sure our cats are well-fed, happy, comfortable and safe. We always miss them a lot so really appreciate the regular photo updates she sends us! Highly recommended.

LondonPetra is a great cat sitter. She was looking after my cat for 4 days while I was on holiday. It was my first time using Cat in a Flat, and I was more than happy with the experience. Petra was sending prompt updates, lots of pictures and was always very quick to reply to my messages. I would recommend Petra to anyone who is going away and wants their furry friend to be well looked after :)
