About Me

Cat sitter in Oxford

Hi, I'm Catherine. I live in Headington with my husband and son, and I have two cats - a British shorthair called Xander who’s been with us since he was a kitten and a ginger cat called Harry whom we adopted after he was abandoned locally, and I dote on them both. I also grew up in a multiple-cat household, so I have years and years of experience with cats overall. I use the Cat in a Flat service myself when I need a cat sitter, so I know what it means to trust someone with your furry friends and with access to your home while you're away - I aim to provide everything in my sitting service that I would hope a cat sitter would provide for me. I love cats of all shapes and sizes, although I have a particular soft spot for timid cats and have been lucky enough to have several furry clients on the more shy end of the scale who have become very comfortable with me, and it’s a pleasure to be able to give them company while their humans are away.

I'm happy to follow any instructions for feeding and caring for your cat/s, and will send you photos and regular updates so you can see how they're doing. On my visits, I will spend time to make sure your cat is comfortable and well, and give them the love and attention they need. If your cat is shy or nervous, I will be respectful of their boundaries and give them the space they need to feel comfortable. I can be flexible about visit timings according to your cat’s needs.

    Catherine was a very reliable sitter. She communicated every day with full updates which left me feeling reassured about my cat. My cat was happy when I got back and it was obvious from the videos that Catherine had gone the extra mile to coax my very timid re homer cat out of her shell (and the wardrobe!) Would definitely book Catherine again!

    Wonderful to have Catherine look after Muffin again. Daily updates and photos and it’s clear Muffin adores her. As always Catherine is 5* and very highly recommended.

    As ever Catherine took great care of Muffin while I was away. Daily updates with photos/video and Muffin is always pleased to see her. Can’t recommend Catherine highly enough!

    Catherine was excellent, as always, at reassuring us that Nigel was happy and safe. Nigel is a very, very shy cat, and Catherine is great at making sure that he is comfortable and relaxed. Thank you, Catherine!

    Once again I can’t thank Catherine enough for the lovely and caring way she looked after my cat even though she (Catherine) was feeling poorly. And my cat is very fond of her too. Very highly recommended.

    Catherine is always a brilliant cat sitter! She knows how nervous our rescue cat Nigel is, and makes sure that he isn't stressed or anxious while we are away. We always come home to a calm and relaxed cat, which is amazing. She sends us detailed messages, and is very reliable.

    As always, Catherine went above and beyond with our Bengals. Not only did she send regular updates and shower them both with attention, but when a vase was broken during one of their games, she stayed to make sure all the glass was removed. The only time we don't book Catherine is when she's not available! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Amazing cat sitter- wouldn't hesitate to book Catherine again. She meticulously looked after my kitten, sent daily videos and helped put me and Wilma at ease. Thanks again :)

    Catherine was brilliant throughout. She responded promptly to our initial messages, came round to meet Tom and get the spare key from us and was very on the ball about messaging us every day with photos and updates when feeding him whilst we were away. She bonded with him very quickly and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much!

    Catherine was absolutely wonderful in taking care of my cat Muffin. She sent pictures and gave an update after each visit spending time with Muffin and giving her strokes and fuss. Clearly Muffin became very fond of Catherine too. Can’t thank and praise her enough. Highly recommended.

    Catherine has looked after our two cats perfectly. We found two very contented cats on our return from holiday. The updates from her during the week including photos were very reassuring. She was very obliging about our detailed requests. We plan to book her again later this year.

    After such a successful first booking, we didn't hesitate to rebook with Catherine. We have a slightly shy little Bengal boy, and Catherine was so brilliant at coaxing him out of his shell...at one point, he was so relaxed that he let his guard down to play with her! Would 100% recommend Catherine and can't wait to rebook her again.

    What can I say? Catherine was absolutely incredible and made our two Bengal kittens feel so at ease...even our chief hisser was putty in her hands! She was so brilliant with communication and made this helicopter paw-rent feel so at ease. Will 100 percent book again and would recommend her wholeheartedly 🐆🐆

    Cath does a fantastic job of looking after our very shy rescue cat, Nigel! She always makes sure he has everything he needs, and lets us know how he's doing. We feel very reassured knowing that he is in safe hands with her.

    Always a great service! Our cat really enjoys Catherine’s company (and she is a nervy cat) great communication throughout booking.

    Catherine was a truly fantastic cat sitter - we have one very friendly cat and one extremely nervous cat and she handled them both and their very different needs brilliantly! Catherine kept us updated with pictures and videos of both cats and we felt completely comfortable and confident in her and her abilities for the entire time we were away.

    As always Catherine was excellent and Kira was super content. Catherine went above and beyond when we realised another cat had got into our house through our cat flap and she kindly popped over (additionally) to evict the cat and check on Kira. Highly recommend

    Kira and Catherine got on so well, our cat can be timid but Catherine had her playing and loving fuss from the wedding moment she met her. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks :)
