About Me

Happy Cat Sitting Service :))

Hi! My name is Cathy and I've been a continuous cat owner for over 40 years. In that time, I've dealt with most things feline, including the deliveries of two British Blue litters, the sick and the elderly.

Sadly, my dear 15 year old Monty passed away recently, but he knew that a cattery wasn’t for all of his feline friends. Of all of my cats, Monty was of a slightly nervous disposition. Monty trained me well to know when he was in the mood for play or comfort. He told me his feeding and water bowls were always kept spotlessly clean and refreshed and his litter tray was kept perfectly clean. I shall look after your fur babies as though they are my own :))

I am not the cheapest choice on here, but I have experience of house sitting and I can give references. I have a current DBS certificate. I am happy to collect the post, water plants inside and out, manoevre bins and draw the curtains as appropriate to give the impression someone is home.

A dog owner for many years, I am happy to walk your dog as an additional service and look after other small animals other than cats. I also puppy sit in your own home for those early days, so I can help for those last minute emergencies you may have. Each role is different and priced accordingly.

Please get in touch for quotations for multiple animal families, night stays, for far away homes and homes outside my catchment area. Please also note, in line with local catteries, I charge a double fee for bank holiday days, so please get in touch for those periods and I’ll send you a quote.

If my diary is blocked out, regular clients please drop me a message and if I can squeeze you in, I shall. I have presently have family caring duties elsewhere in the country, so presently I’m back and forth. Hopefully once a care package is in place, I’ll be more available.

For longer term catsits, I am happy to prepare automatic feeders (if that is helpful to you) for those super early morning breakfasts. There are also cat water fountains which you may also wish to purchase. Please do get in touch and I’ll help as much as I can :)

In response to the Covid pandemic, please let me know if you would like me to wear disposable gloves and/or a fresh new facemask as I enter your home. My husband works for the NHS, so we understand the importance of proper hygiene. I always wash my hands on entering your property, after cleaning litter trays and on leaving.

After a career in aviation and education, I now work freelance in film and tv a few days a month and I dance. I look forward to filming and dancing more :)

I can offer you flexibility and complete peace of mind. I am based in Ashtead, but I am happy to travel. Just get in touch. I look forward to looking after your special fur babies :)

I shall make sure that they are well looked after :)

I shall serve the meals into clean bowls, refresh the water bowls regularly, keep the litter trays clean and provide as much play and love as they need :) I am happy to groom if that is part of their daily routine.

It is always a privilege to get to know them and to find out what makes them tick!

    Cathy was fantastic! Reliable, patient, caring, and great with communication. We felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in good hands, and we came home to everything just as we left it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾✨

    We were delighted with Cathy and impressed with the level of care she had for our cat Lola. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that she was well looked after, happy and well fed. We received regular updates and Cathy even helped us out with our rubbish collection. We would definitely recommend Cathy and will be using her again for our next holiday.

    Cathy did an excellent job of looking after my cat over a long weekend. Communication was good before the weekend, and I received photos and news of how the cat was doing every day. I returned to a relaxed cat. Very happy.

    Another great holiday with Kathy looking after our cats. Alarm system navigated successfully, tablets administered to a very shy cat, and the usual level of care made it another stress free holiday for us.

    Having someone as brilliant as Cathy looking after our cats while we're away is such a weight off our minds. Our two cats now enjoy our holidays as much as we do!

    Brilliant! Like having an old friend look after our cats. Cathy clearly cares about cat sitting - was well organised, spent time with us talking about the cats’ needs, looked after our house while we were away & kept things clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to use Cathy again.

    This was the first time we used Cat In A Flat and Cathy was absolutely brilliant! She put us completely at ease while we were away and even sent some photo updates. We couldn't recommend enough and will definitely be booking again.

    This was our 1st time using a sitter from this site and we are very glad we did. Cathy was lovely and kept us informed all the time we were away. We met her before hand and she was very organised and we knew our cat would be in safe hands. Would highly recommend using her and we will definitely use her for future trips away.

    Cathy is reliable and communicative, both when booking and when looking after my cats. The cats are relaxed when I get home and I have no worries when I am away and they are in her care. She has also made some helpful suggestions based on her experience of looking after cats. These have made all our lives better!

    As always Cathy looked after my girls well and provided me with regular updates. I think the cats would like me to go away a little more often :)

    Cathy followed through on all her promises, and is thorough with the paperwork. She sent great little written reports too - which meant more than a photograph.

    I have known Cathy Mullins for 40 years and am very happy to give her a very positive reference as a house sitter . She looked after my second home in Dorset for a two month period around ten years ago and the house was always kept in pristine condition . Cathy is also very reliable and totally honest and would have no hesitation in recommending her for the house sitting role .
