About Me

Five decades of cats own my heart (see my Instagram)

Nervous cats are my specialty. After a lifetime of living with cats (see their stories on my Instagram caitlincatsitter) and minding friends' sweeties, in April 2023 I started sitting professionally in London. I've now moved to Stanley in County Durham. I'm police checked and available for kitties in Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and Sunderland plus anywhere on the bus and Metro routes around Tyne and Wear, Northumberland or County Durham.

Cat sitting is becoming my full time vocation. Timewise, I can be fairly flexible. Sorry, I can't do overnights but I'm happy to work out a timetable with you for 1 or 2 visits a day (each 30-45 minutes).

My fee is per household, not per cat and I won't be charging Peak Fees.

I like to give cats the time and space to decide I'm ok. I've fostered some very anxious cats, officially and unofficially (their stories are all on my Instagram too) and passed the test with some very independent strays. I'm pleased they decided our house could be their safe space. "Our" currently means my chaps, Django and Willow and till recently, Harry who'd been living rough for years.

I volunteered for several years with two shelters, making adoption videos to show their lodgers' personalities. You can hear how I engage with cats in those, on my YouTube channel. Just search TallulahTangle.

I'll look after your sweetie like my own. I'm very safety conscious and will be diligent about your security and privacy.

I'll be taking my lead from your cat about how they'd like my visit to be. I make cat toys and will bring a new washable knotty chase&chew string if they want to run around or just sit quietly and talk while they watch me from behind the sofa and wait for me to leave! I'm happy to be pinned down for half an hour and do strokes and brushing and tickles. It's their call. If they need meds I can take care of that, except injections, sorry. I'm totally comfortable with litter trays and poo scooping, accidents and hairballs on the rug.

    Caitlin is fantastic at what she does, she makes you feel completely at ease leaving your fur babies in her trusted hands. Caitlin has looked after our 3 babies a couple of times now and administers medication for my poorly epileptic girl with no hesitations! We love the photo updates too they always make us laugh, thanks so much Caitlin!

    Caitlin took such good care of my elderly puss, Bluebell. So patient and caring! She did everything possible to ensure that Bluebell was comfortable and well fed and gave us daily updates. When we returned Bluebell was happy and relaxed. We will definitely be asking Caitlin to care for her whenever we are away!

    Caitlin is wonderful!

    We have 7 month old kittens & went going for two nights - the first time we'd left them, so we were a little nervous & wanted to find the kind person to cat sit for us.

    Even before we left we felt confident that they were in safe & caring hands; the regular updates & photos we received while away confirmed that.

    Amazing service from Caitlin! Communication was excellent throughout and we got lots of pics and updates of our sweet boy. Caitlin definitely has a way of understanding and caring for cats and goes above and beyond on every visit. Will definitely book again.

    Well, we've had a number of cat sitters in our time, and we can safely say that Caitlin is sitting at the very top of our cat sitter tree! She is completely reliable, gives our cats plenty of time, attention and care each visit, and comms are brilliant. Caitlin's a dream come true, and we're crazy to let the cat out of the bag with this review.

    This is the second time I have used Caitlin. Second time round was as amazing as the first. Caitlin really goes above and beyond for my kitties. I and you can 100% trust Caitlin with your cats. It’s amazing to have someone you know you can trust and will care about the wellbeing of your cats whilst you’re away. Thank you Caitlin! 😻

    I didn't hesitate to ask Caitlin to care for the 4 foster kittens again. She looks after them so well and I appreciate receiving updates and photos while I'm away.

    Caitlin did an amazing job of looking after the 4 foster kittens over a long weekend. She brushed and played with them and got purrs and strokes in no time. It was lovely to receive photos and updates while I was away. Caitlin has a rapport with cats and genuinely cares for them. I trust her implicitly, I'm already enquiring about further bookings.

    We were very happy with Caitlin as our cat sitter during a recent holiday. She was a fantastic communicator and our cat was very well cared for with company, brushing, games and general updates. On our return everything was clean, tidy and Sparty was content and calm and her usual self. I highly recommend Caitlin's cat sitting service!

    As in our previous booking, we cannot be happier with Caitlin and her care. We receive daily updates, our cats are happy and we trust her judgment in regards to food and any issue arising with our two girls. We will be booking her again as we know our cats are in good hands.

    Caitlin was an absolute superstar with our little cat Cleo while we were away for two weeks. It was the first time we had left her for so long but caitlin made the whole process easy and put our minds at ease with updates and information throughout her visits. She was also flexible and happy to adapt plans. We will definitely use caitlin again!

    I cannot recommend Caitlin more highly as a cat sitter who takes huge pride in her job she obviously loves! She attended our cats’ needs beautifully whilst we were on holiday, brushing, feeding, cuddling, playing - evidenced through her daily diary of holiday text updates. Thank you Caitlin!

    Caitlin is a very reliable and communicative cat sitter. Her updates are detailed with good pictures of the cats and comments. We have had a few diet-specific requests and Caitlin has made sure Stylo and Pemzli get what they need. It also helps that we really feel that she likes our cats a lot :) In short, we'd definitely recommend her!

    Caitlin has been the most wonderful cat sitter. She has been so kind and communicative with us and instantly gave us peace of mind. Our cat required some medication during her visits, which she was able to give him. We have enjoyed the daily updates and it’s nice to know he’s been given lots of attention whilst we’ve been away. Thank you

    First time using Cat in a Flat, and a great experience with Caitlin. From the meet and greet, she filled me with confidence and leaves updates as notes daily for my return along with photos and comments in the app after the visit. Can’t fault, perfect cat sitter for my shy Russian Blue :)

    Caitlin was a fantastic sitter! From when she first came around for an initial meet and greet with us and our cat Tilly, we could see she loves cats and knows exactly what they need. She took great care of Tilly while we were away and it gave us peace of mind to know she was so well looked after as Caitilin sent us photos and detailed updates.

    It is our first experience with a cat-sitting service and we cannot be more happy with Caitlin. She understands and she loves cats, and from the first moment we felt out 2 demanding cats/divas would be in the best hands. She gained their trust immediately and we could see on the updates how pleased they were on her visits. We will book her again.
