About Me

Quiet companion for cat sitting in SW London

Hello, I’m Rachel and I've always loved being in the company of cats.

I've been very fortunate. I have had several cats in my life, and have been around them since I was 5 years old.

The first elegant lady was a long-haired Tortoise shell called Moppet who was the gentlest cat in the world. I always remember the smell of the fields on her fur when she came home from her adventures.

My most recent cat was an amazing British Short Hair called Bronte who I met as a kitten on the stormiest of nights. She had a wild and wonderful spirit.

I would love to look after your cat and provide company and treats if you have to go away.

I'm a freelance writer and am calm by nature, so I can offer a high level of care and attention as well as a quiet energy. I'm also happy to do any jobs in the garden or things like plant watering while I’m sitting.

I believe in the ancient wisdom of the cat and have a deep respect for cats as independent creatures. I will never impose my needs on your feline friend and believe they must always introduce themselves first and not the other way around.

I'm always happy to talk to cats, and make sure they feel safe and protected. I generally avoid making any physical contact unless I've created a bond with the animal, or the cat has initiated the contact.

I can help with personal grooming (if the cat enjoys this) and can also provide cuddles and head rubs if that's something the cat wants. I can also provide 24-hour care if that's something your cat needs.

    Rachel has looked after my cat Peggy on multiple occasions. Every time we return to a very happy, relaxed and chilled out cat. Rachel always provides excellent updates and communication throughout her visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

    Rachel is the best Catsitter you could ever find! She sends thoughtful updates, spends a lot of quality time playing, brushing, cuddling, sends plenty of photos and videos, and for the first time my cat is not stressed out when I come back!

    Rachel not only looked after my boy perfectly, being very attentive to every detail (he was most relaxed when I arrived!) but left the flat very clean and tidy. I will be most definatelly be asking her to look after Mr.S. again if she is free! Thank you Rachel!

    Rachel is an exceptional cat sitter. Gentle and sensitive, she gave my 2 13-year-old shy females time to adjust to her presence until they were so confident with her that she could even gently groom them. Success all round! Extremely highly recommended.

    Rachel was absolutely amazing. Really went the extra mile to make my cat feel safe and happy whilst I was away, and sent me lovely updates and photos every day. Rachel took the time to get to know my cat, likes, dislikes, treat preferences, and habits, and communication beforehand was great. I would absolutely ask Rachel to come and cat sit again!

    We have had Rachel to sit our cat before and were delighted to book her again. She’s a fantastic sitter, who stayed in touch throughout our trip with lots of lovely photos, and our cat clearly loved her too!

    Very highly recommended

    Rachel’s gentle approach giving the kitties time to adjust was so appreciated. She ensured they had plenty of cuddles and attention making being away from them easier. Excellent communication and professional level photos! Highly recommend!!!

    We had such an amazing experience with Rachel from start to finish. During our meet-and-greet, Rachel really took the time to get to know the cats' needs , which was very reassuring and gave us the confidence that our two boys will be in good hands. During her visits, Rachel was punctual and communicative, everything we could have hoped for!

    My cat Peggy was incredibly well looked after by Rachel whilst we were away. I very much appreciated the daily updates and photos, as well as the highly attentive care Peggy received throughout. It very much put my mind at ease. I would thoroughly recommend Rachel to anyone who needs a dedicated and knowledgable cat sitter for their pet.

    Huge recommendation for Rachel, who looked after Kitty for the week for us. I don’t think Kitty wanted to come home, she had such good company and attention!

    Rachel stayed in our home for three nights and was an excellent house sitter and cat sitter. Throughout our holiday, Rachel sent us updates and pictures of Teddy and Bobbi, and it was clear that they were very happy in her company. When we returned, our house was in excellent and clean condition. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone!:)

    Our first time with Rachel was a great - she made sure that everything is taken care of and provided friendly service, great updates and is very quick to respond. Both cats seemed happy and relaxed. 😊
