Cat sitter extraordinaire in East London

My name's Tamara, I'm 33 and an illustrator living in Swiss Cottage.

I love meeting new cats and getting to know their personalities. I have become a bit of a go-to for catsitting for friends when they are away on holiday, most recently catsitting for an adorable British Shorthair kitten called Gus who was toilet seat trained (!). Teasel, the ragdoll in my photo, was one of three that I looked after for two months last summer in Margate.

Though these cats were kinda fancy, I grew up with three rescues; two tabbies and a longhair black and white cat who were a huge part of my childhood. Cleaning out their litter, feeding them and having them sit on my lap is second nature to me.

Because I am self-employed with a somewhat solitary job, my hours are flexible enough to meet the needs of your cat(s). I'd love to keep them company, give them cuddles (if they like them!), rub their bellies and play.

I love cats for their independence, discernment and earned affection. I look forward to getting to know yours!
