About Me

I dont look after cats with no access to the outdoors.

Hello my name is Silvia, I am 59 years old and I live with my husband and 4 cats. My love for cats made me want to help the ones in need: I have been fostering and helping with re-homing cats and kittens for a Local Charity for over 25 years. I have an up to date enhanced DBS , I work part time as a lecturer in FE and it is compulsory to have one. I will look after your cat as if he or she were my own. I will feed them, give them medicines if needed, change the water daily, brush or just sit with them to keep them happy. I will also water your plants at no extra cost. While you are away, I can keep you updated via whatsup/mail/if you wish so.

I am a true animal lover, so I would not accept bookings when I feel the cats are not having a good quality of life (for example cats not having access to the outdoors or cats only being fed dry food as it is "cheap" and it does not "smell"). I believe pets should not be 'confined' to spend their lives locked up between 4 walls. They should also have a varied range of food-dry and moist, including treats -to give them all the nutrients they need, keep them "interested" and possibly contribute to general better physical & mental health in the long run.

I am very responsible and extremely reliable, you can rest assured that come rain or high water, I will be there to feed your pet.

Please note that I really care about animal welfare, I do not do indoor only cats. Cats are very inquisitive animals and I find it distressing to see them locked up between 4 walls all their lives.

    Silvia was great, she arranged to see me beforehand to meet the cat and go through food and house bits. She took great care of the cat and sent me photos and kept me updated whilst I was away. Silvia went the extra mile by hoovering and keeping everything tidy whilst she was taking care of the cat. I will definitely book again :)

    Silvia was absolutely brilliant. She really cared for my sprightly young cat giving him all the attention he craved. Great communication so I always felt reassured he was well looked after whilst I was away.

    Silvia was fantastic. Very knowledgable about cats and loves them. Very reliable and flexible and we felt totally safe leaving our cat and home in her hands.

    Sylvia is so caring - we always know our cats are in safe hands. She also communicates with us about parcels and deliveries and tended to our houseplants without us even asking. A big thank you!

    Silvia has cared for our cats many times now and the last booking lasted nearly 6 weeks. We came back to a clean, well maintained home and to happy cats of course. They know Silvia which makes it easier for everyone. We are lucky to have found her!

    Once again, Sylvia took excellent care of our two cats, going above and beyond when one of them didn't appear at dinner time. Thank you!

    Sylvia has been incredibly friendly and accommodating. From the outset we liked her no nonsense, straight talking approach, it's clear she cares and it's the cats interests that matters most. Great communication, timely responses and lovely updates to set us at ease whilst we were away.....purrrrfect. :)

    Silvia is an excellent cat sitter. I really liked her from the day we met, she treated my cat as if she was her own, I came back home to a calm and loving cat. If I could give Silvia more than 5 stars I would, she is amazing, kept sending me updates on how Chica was doing so I felt really at ease knowing that Chica was being really well looked after. I cannot thank Silvia enough!

    Silvia was great. She is oozing a calm vibe of a real animal lover - not just a selfish one who "loves" pets because they are soft and cute, but a real one, who loves pets and so all her actions have their needs in the focus. My babies could not have had any better furbaby-sitter. thank you. Hope to "work" again soon.

    Silvia took such good care of our two cats while we were away. She kept us updated on how they were and gave them such good attention, like bringing her own comb to brush them because she couldn't see ours. She doesn't just feed the cats in her care, she makes sure they're content and relaxed. Thanks Silvia!

    Silvia was A-MA-ZING! Not only she took great care of our cats, but also she sent lively updates and photos while we were away. When we came home, our flat was neat and the food bowls and litter were clean but most importantly, the cats were relaxed and happy! I will definitely ask for her service again next time we are away and hope she will be available!

    Silvia was a super help to me over the busy Christmas and was kind and attentive in providing me with daily updates from my cats. Bonus is my cats also really liked her too. Would definitely recommend.

    Silvia was absolutely wonderful with Bowie and was great about texting me updates and photos. I was very stressed about leaving Bowie for three weeks over Christmas, but Silvia made me feel a lot better - she was great! We will definitely be calling her next time we go on vacation, and we highly recommend her!!

    Silvia was great taking care of our cats over Christmas. She clearly loves animals and takes time to make sure they are well and happy. She communicates very well too in the run up and after our time away.

    Cannot recommend Silvia highly enough. Looked after our cat extremely well, and had updates at every visit which meant I could relax on holiday knowing everything was being looked after at home. Thank-you so much!

    Silvia was amazing with Suki. Suki is usually a very shy cat when meeting new people. It will usually take 3 or 4 days (if not longer) for her to be comfortable around someone new.

    But with Silvia, she came out of her shell within a day or so. By the end of our holiday she felt completely at ease with her, which made our holiday that much better.

    We will definitely be having her back for our next holiday!

    I cannot but fully recommend Silvia if you want peace of mind and someone who truly cares about your cats. It was the first time I’ve left my cats with a “stranger” but on meeting Silvia the first time I knew it would be ok. Daily updates and very considerate to the needs of my cats. Thanks Silvia

    Silvia was brilliant! Attentive and went to every length to make sure Bailey was well looked after whilst we were away. It’s always a little bit strange and worrisome to leave your pet at home and have a stranger come to your house but I felt at ease straight away when meeting Silvia. I will definitely use her services again and again.

    I came back from a week away to a happy and relaxed cat. Silvia was in touch every other day, updating me on Sabre and sending me photos and videos. It was really easy setting everything up, and I wouldn't hesitate to both recommend her and use her again.

    Silvia was absolutely amazing - We were initially hesitant to use Cat in a Flat but from the moment we met Silvia we knew Harry would be in great hands.

    Silvia asked lots of questions about Harry, his care and his likes and dislikes and really took the time to make sure he would be happy and that our minds were at rest. She provided regular updates including photos and videos and even took him a few extra treats!... She also turned the lights off/on for us to help ensure our home was secure.

    We came home to a very happy and relaxed cat and will 100% without hesitation be asking Silvia to cat-sit Harry again in the future :-)
