About Me

Cat Sitting with Lydia, South Manchester

Hey, I'm Lydia!

Every cat is weird and wonderful in their own way. I hope to have the pleasure of providing an excellent cat care service to you and your unique furry friend!

I currently volunteer at a cat rescue where I help care for cats and kittens from many different circumstances and with different needs. I have one 7-year-old cat of my own, and previously had a lovely senior cat who lived out his final days with me.

I will provide the best service that is tailored to you and your cats' needs. I will do a home visit beforehand to meet you and your cat and go through any specifics.

I am confident in socialising and am familiar with feeding, litter trays, and grooming needs of different cats.

I am based in Withington but cover most of the South Manchester area. Please let me know your location in your request!

    Wow! First time trying this and I can safely say that Lydia is going to become part of the clowder at this rate! Just booked in another two dates ! Kya seemed to really like and feel safe around Lydia. Kya was relaxed, warm and more affectionate than usual. Lydia will now be our primary cat sitter if she’ll have us! Couldn’t thank enough! Thank you

    Lydia is always brilliant with our little Yo-Yo, giving her loads of fuss and favourite brushes :) Lydia always keeps in touch with regular updates, you never feel nervous leaving Yo-yo as we always feel she is on very good hands, she looks after our little might extremely well! Thanks Lydia you are a superstar!

    Lydia has watched my two cats during several overnight stays, from a few days to two weeks. Leaving them is hard, but Lydia’s care and multiple daily photo updates bring me so much comfort. Even my feisty tortie trusts her! She loves spending time with them, and I always come home to happy and well looked after cats. Thank you endlessly!!

    We've used Lydia a few times now and she always takes great care of our cat. Overnight stays are a fantastic option and we always get lots of updates while she stays over.

    Lydia was brilliant, she sent me daily updates on Phoebe including pictures! 😻 She also administered tablets reliably and made sure Phoebe is getting enough brushes and pets while we were away and meant we could enjoy our holiday. 100% would book again to look after Phoebe!

    This is our second time using Lydia to look after our cat and we will definitely be using her again. Our cat clearly thinks she is great and is happy to snuggle with Lydia in bed on overnight stays. We would highly recommend Lydia to anyone who doesn't like the idea of taking their cats to a cattery.

    Lydia was excellent. It was great that she arranged a visit before we went away to meet our cat and find out about her routine. We booked her for an overnight visit and she gave us regular updates and our cat clearly felt relaxed with her. We'll definitely be booking her again.

    My "Boys" had an excellent time with Lydia looking after them! I had regular upates and photos, and came back to 2 happy cats! Not only that, everything was neat and tidy, just as I left it- no clearing up after the catsitter!! Thoroughly recommend Lydia!

    Lydia is lovely! She’s very communicative, provides detailed updates, is clean, and very patient.

    Our furrbaby Suki takes a while to trust other hoomans, but she was able to trust Lydia.

    Will request her expert services again!

    Lydia is great and dedicates time to the cat.

    Olivia enjoyed her time with her and looked very well kept when I came back after 3 weeks.

    Lydia is a lovely hooman! She’s clean, and kept my water and food bowl clean. I usually don’t warm up to strangers, but I warmed up to her in a couple of days. She did a meet and greet with me, which was 👍🏼. I give her 5 stars and would love to have her take care of me again.

    Purrs and hisses, Suki (I am a proud 🐈‍⬛)

    Lydia was fantastic looking after our cat, sending lots of updates and photos, making sure he was well fed (+ treats!) and playing with him out in the garden too. Gave us total peace of mind leaving him for a few days knowing he would be well looked after on visits. Would highly recommend and book Lydia again.

    Lydia did such a good job of looking after Jolene whilst I was away it helped me feel less anxious and got such lovely and detailed updates at each visit. Jolene was well cared for and a happy and relaxed kitty on my return!

    Although it was only for the day, Lydia was super good with Yo-Yo, took great of her and had a good brushing session and we came home to a very happy cat :) Lydia is lovely too in person when we met her! We would certainly recommend Lydia and have her around again !

    Lydia is great. Amiable and a natural. I've been on Cat in a Flat for around 10 years and had many kind people look after my previous cat who lived till 19. Lydia is one of the best. She keeps in touch, plays with the feline, sends a couple of pictures and reassuring messages and is always friendly. I recently took in a stray who is tricky to get on with, but Lydia and Apatchy got on straight away. Thats something to be said
