About Me

Patient London cat sitter to give you peace of mind (DBS checked)

Hello! My name is Francesca. I am a charity researcher living in North London and, most importantly, a cat lover!

I've known having cats all my life- having grown up with four cats at home, and belonging to an extended family of cat lovers. Since moving out of the family home and away from our cats, I've loved cat-sitting for friends and family as a way to spend time with kitties and help my loved ones feel peace of mind knowing their fur babies are in safe hands.

I am now new to North London so wanting to get to know more cats in this area (aside from the ones I regularly look out for on the street for strokes).

I am fortunate to be able to work from home most days, meaning that (with your permission) I am very happy to spend the day working with cat company. I find this also means the kitty has more time to get to know me and can feel comfortable sticking to their original routine.

I'm also happy to pop in at different times and can be flexible. I usually keep in regular contact with owners via WhatsApp and I love taking pictures of cats, so will keep you updated! I am very happy to follow any routines you keep, whether that's letting the cat in or out, keeping certain rooms off limits, and I've even learned to copy an owner's whistle to their cat.

In terms of cat care, it goes without saying that I can do the usual feeding and fresh water (with clean bowls!) and change the litter tray. I have encountered both high and low tech solutions to this in my cat care, so I'm not fased by automated feeders, fountains or cat flaps. I have also looked after cats that require medication and appreciate the challenges of smuggling medicine or a tablet into cat food!

I've looked after young kittens and rescue cats, so I am happy to be patient with getting to know a very shy cat, or to spot the signs of when a cat is getting over-stimulated and needs me to give it some space, or to re-direct its energy on its favourite toy.

If there are any other domestic tasks that need doing while you're away, I'm also happy to help.

    I booked Francesca to take care of my young cat Cocco and I am really happy with how she did!

    Francesca and Cocco got along really well, and I found Cocco exactly the same as if I left for half a day, happy and relaxed.

    Highly recommend!

    Francesca did a great job looking after my two shy cats and windowsill pigeons! I appreciated the regular photos after the visits. I would definitely book her again. :)

    We booked Francesca twice already and we are really happy with her taking care of Matilda. I especially like that she extremely reliable, always gives us updates and photos when we're traveling and Matilda seems always happy and content when we're coming back... sometimes even disappointed to see us rather than Francesca 😅. Definitely recommend!

    Francesca was fantastic, always communicative, sending pictures and videos, giving attention, was great to see my shy cats getting issued and comfortable with her. Definitely will book with her in the future.

    Fran’s a brilliant sitter - really easy to communicate with, took the time to get to know my cat and he seemed very happy after her two visits while I was away. Will definitely book again!

    I communicated with Francesca from overseas and she liaised with my London housesitters to arrange key pick-up and cat feeding details. She kept me updated via WhatsApp before and during the booking. My housesitters returned to a happy cat, and I received pics & updates from Francesca. Will book her services again. Thanks!

    Francesca was absolutely fantastic for our entire booking. Our cat was not very visible the first few days, but she persevered and managed to build a great rapport with La Gata. We were incredibly grateful for her updates and cheerful enthusiasm, and came back to one happy and contented cat indeed. Will definitely book again!

    Francesca is a wonderful cat sitter. I get the impression she genuinely cares for our cat when we're away. She takes the time to send us updates, and spends time playing with her so she's entertained. Francesca really listened to what we needed, and is a great communicator.

    Couldn't ask for a better cat-sitter. Francesca is super attentive to the pair and completely understands their very different personalities....and demands! I was slightly hesitant to give an honest review for fear she may get booked when we next need her, but hey:)

    The pair were very pleased indeed to have Francesca back to play. It’s been a year yet they remembered her as soon as she walked in the lounge and went straight over for a nuzzle. I returned to very chilled puddies.

    Just marvellous! Francesca kept us updated the whole time and made the process simple and hassle-free. Our cat hasn’t stopped talking about how wonderful she was.

    Francesca was amazing! She came to meet my cat morris before I left for an introduction & to talk through his needs. He is a rescue and can be tricky with new people, but her calm & patience won him over. She went the extra mile to spend quality time playing, brushing & cuddling him, & I felt so relaxed knowing he was in such safe hands ❤️

    I couldn't have wished for a more perfect sitter for the puddies. From the moment I met Francesca it was clear that I would be leaving them in caring and capable hands. She seemed completely unphased by the "particular needs" of my pair, and I returned to find them perfectly content ...if a tad aloof! Excellent communication too. Thank you.x
