About Me

Shirley Based Cat Sitter with Over 25 Years Experience

Hello! My name is Christina and I live with my husband Dan, my baby son Teddy and my black cat Eleven (pictured on the furry clients page!).

We adopted Eleven from the cats protection league in 2016 - she came with her fair share of baggage, and has been pretty high maintenance ever since, but she’s part of the family and very much loved.

There has always been a cat or two in my life, I love them so much and I’m very experienced in looking after them…I may even like cats more than people! (I like people too though, of course)

I frequently cat sit for friends and relatives and have been doing so for over a decade. And through Cat in a Flat since 2018. I’m a registered Paramedic, I work part time and hold a full and up to date DBS.

If you send me a request and I am available, I will offer the opportunity for a complimentary meet n greet (up to 30 minutes) prior to the booking, at a time that suits both of us. You can then decide if you are choosing the right person.

A little more about me - aside from cats, some of my favourite things are books, all types of music, walking/hiking, Pilates, photography and weather (I’ve been storm chasing twice!). I always find that cats are extremely difficult subjects to photograph as they rarely keep still! But I do my best and will send you photo/video updates of your feline friends while you’re away.

THE BORING BIT (aka the small print but there’s only one font size here!)

Please note: my listed prices are for 1-2 cats. If you have more than 2 cats there will be a small additional charge. When you enquire, please let me know if you have more than 2 cats and what will be required for each visit, and I can then give you a quote.

Please also note: If you have booked me but need to change your dates, please get in touch. I’m happy to add dates to your booking providing I am not already fully booked on the new dates. If you need to subtract dates from your booking this is also fine but I cannot offer refunds for the cancelled days without at least 21 days prior notice. If you need to cancel your entire booking, please contact cat in a flat for refund information. By booking me, you are agreeing to these terms.

BORING BIT OVER!

If you’ve got this far, and like what you’ve read, please do send me a booking request! I look forward to hearing from you and can’t wait to meet your cats! 😺🐈

I cover Shirley, parts of Beckenham, Penge and some of the surrounding areas.

My services:

Cats-

Feeding & watering. Changing/managing litter. Letting cats in and out if applicable - and locking/unlocking cat flaps etc. Playing, grooming, stroking and generally making a fuss of them! Taking photos, making videos to send to you alongside my updates so you can see that they are happy and well. I’m also adept at removing the ‘presents’ cats sometimes bring in! Mice, bugs, birds...you name it, I’ve dealt with it! Medication - tablets or drops is fine. I’ve never given a cat an injection - if this is needed I would recommend seeking a cat sitter who has experience with this. If your cat is or has recently been unwell, let me know. I will always ask for your vet details and I am aware of the local emergency vets in case a visit is needed although hopefully it won’t be!

Other- Watering plants/gardens. Picking up post/taking in parcels from porch etc. Turning lights on/off and opening/shutting blinds as needed for security purposes. Managing recycling boxes on bin day. Feeding the fish! Any other tasks: please ask! Small tasks that won’t take time away from care of your cats are usually fine.

    This is the second time Christina has looked after Bobby. She is very reliable so we had the peace of mind that he was cared for whilst we were not at home. The photos she sent us show how comfortable Bobby feels with her and how happy he always is with her visits. Thank you so much!

    We just got a new cat and I was a bit concerned about leaving him when we went on holiday. Although he is wary of people he immediately felt at ease with Christina who took great care of him and sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. She will definitely be our first choice when we need to go away again.

    Christina has looked after Shadow a few times now. Shadow can be a bit grumpy but Christina has persevered and Shadow will spend time with her now! We get video and photo updates which is really nice. Christina also watered our indoor plants and front garden while we were away which was very kind. We would highly recommend Christina.

    Christina took the time to visit and get to know our Monty. He loved her instantly and clearly was very at ease with her. It was wonderful to know we could go away for the weekend and Monty was being cuddled and fed each day. We received pics and videos and regular updates. We will be using Christina again!

    The best cat sitter in the world… no exaggeration! It’s been a really difficult week for pets with the hot weather but Shadow was in good hands with Christina. She has provided daily updates and photos and done everything possibly to try and keep Shadow cool and make me feel reassured. She event spent some extra time with her on the hot days. I’m home to a happy cat.

    Once again we had a brilliant experience with Christina as our “Maddie” sitter! Regular updates of her progress befriending our very nervous rescue with photos and videos. Christina also adeptly managed a house vomit scenario and ensured Maddies welfare was her priority! We like to have an ongoing, repeated relationship with our cat sitter and have no hesitation in recommending Christina for this role.

    Christina looked after our little rescue (Maddie - all black) over the entire festive period just recently. I had great pre booking communication, daily check-ins and photos/videos during the booking and a very happy and relaxed cat on our return in the New Year! We like to have a regular cat sitter rather than use multiple different people as our cat has special needs - and we are very pleased to have met Christina and built not only trust, but high regard for her care and commitment. Christina is highly recommended by Maddie and her family!

    Christina is my rock when it comes to cat sitting. This time round, 4 days before I was due to go away, my cat was unwell and had to have an emergency vet appointment. Although she began to improve with treatment, I absolutely would have cancelled my trip if anyone else but Christina was going to cat sit. I knew Christina would look after her as well as I would myself and was able to go in the knowledge that I was leaving Lola in safe hands. As ever, I could tell from the photos she sent me that she was spending time with Lola and I could see for myself that she was well and happy.

    Christina did an excellent job of looking after our cat, Roo, around Christmas and new year. She kept us updated with how he was getting on and made sure to let us know if anything worried her - as well as sending lovely daily photos of Roo. We were a bit naughty and also asked her to bring any parcels in (usually left in our front garden) which she did (thank you!). Christina is very friendly and I'm sure Roo would love to have her look after him again soon.
