About Me

Rachel’s Cat Sitting Services - Longfield, Dartford, Greenhithe & Surrounding areas

My name is Rachel - a HR professional, mother and self confessed crazy cat lady. I’ve lived with and cared for cats my entire life, with 3 fur babies of my own at home:

🐾 Millie - a gorgeous 13 year old teeny black and white moggie who is extremely cuddly, vocal and needy; 🐾 Luna - a 12 year old rescued mottled tortie with a delicate stomach and grain allergy, who adores snuggling up with a blanket; and last but not least; 🐾 Rocky - a huge playful 6 year old rescued tabby Norwegian forest cat who loves a fuss but does not like his belly being touched, and who brings the type of gifts for his human family that only a cat can…

I’m pretty new to Cat in a Flat, but have regularly helped out friends and family over the years and hoping to be able to support other local pet owners when they go on holiday or want someone to pop in when they’re at work and need someone to take care of their kitty cats. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly and polite cat sitter, then look no further.

I am also DBS checked (Enhanced certificate) as of January 2024 through my volunteer work with a local school.

I hold a full driving license and own a car so am able to travel if needed, usually covering the likes of Longfield, Hartley, New Barn, New Ash Green, Horton Kirby, South Darenth, Darenth, Dartford, Bean, Greenhithe, Southfleet, Meopham, Sole Street and other local surrounding areas in Kent. If you’re not sure whether or not you’re in my usual catchment area, please feel free to drop me a message. I am often happy to travel a little further afield, though please note that journeys over 5 miles away from me will incur an additional mileage fee and this will be discussed with you prior to any booking confirmation.

Free Meet & Greet: This can be in person or via video call to discuss your kitty clients habits and requirements and gives the opportunity for you to get to know me before you make any commitment and start using my cat sitting services. Very happy to answer any questions and understand that it’s a big decision trusting someone to come to your home and with your fur babies!

1 Daily Visit: This can be scheduled to coincide with your kitty’s usual feed times or just to give them a good fuss when you’re not around. I’ll usually spend 20-40 minutes with the kitty clients at each visit, making sure they have everything they need from brushing to treats. I’ll change litter trays if it’s needed and clean up any unwanted gifts left by your kitty. I will always take and share at least one photo of your fur baby with you whilst I am there too so that you can rest assured that they’re being well looked after. I am also happy to administer any medication that your pet needs during a visit too.

2 Daily Visits: All of the above x 2 - usually one visit in the morning and another in the afternoon or evening depending on your preference.

Happy to discuss other cat sitting options to suit your needs too.

If you have any questions or would like more information, then please drop me a message and I will come back to you as soon as possible!

    Rachel is a fantastic cat sitter! She took the time to come and familiarise herself with us and the cats, answer any questions and sent lovely pictures and a message each time she visited...friendly and professional too! We have already booked her for our next trip very soon! Thank you very much, Rachel!

    We had Rachel to look after our 3 furry friends whilst away for 3 days. We have used Rachel about 3 times, our cats love her she is so good and patient with them. Receive photos every visit and message so we know what is happening. Completly puts my mind at rest that they are being looked after so well, so can relax and enjoy our time away.

    Thanks to Rachel we were able to indulge ourselves in another weekend away with the knowledge that Loki was being well looked after once again. Purr-fect as always! Thank you.

    Second time Rachel has cat sit for my two boy! And once again she was brilliant, my boys were very happy to see her and had a great time everytime she visited. I got plenty of pictures and videos after every visit too. I don’t think I will use anyone else for my two. Thank you ☺️

    Have used Rachel twice now, and both times absolutely amazing with our 3 cats, always manages to get our very timid boy to come to her for treats and a quick fuss. Also our new boy was happy to have a fuss and play. Pictures and info sent to on every visit.

    Brilliant as always, thank you. Rachel looked after our cats Emi and Artie whilst we were away for two weeks. As with other visits, we got frequent updates and photos and knew that the cats got loads of cuddles and play when we were gone. She kindly took the bins out when we were away and house was spotless as always, thank you!!

    So glad we decided to use this service. Despite my cat being elusive, Rachel went out of her way to try and find her to send a photo. It was really reassuring to know that she was in such safe hands. Will definitely use Rachel again. Highly recommend and will tell all my friends.

    This is the second time Rachel has looked after my cat and as before, she goes above and beyond what you would expect. She sends me daily updates, with photos/videos, while I'm away which makes me feel less anxious about leaving my pet. I would give Rachel six stars if I could. Thanks, Rachel. 🐾🐈‍⬛

    Rachel is lovely came and met our cats before. Managed to make a fuss of one and even made friends with our boy who is extremley timid. Even managed to get him indoors (unheard off) We received text and photos morning and evening to let us know how they were. Would definately book Rachel again. Could not be happier with the service.

    I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. It was such a comfort to know that she was taking care of my Nessa while we were away. She is very kind and goes above and beyond to make sure that your pet is looked after properly and you have peace of mind.

    I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Rachel, our cat sitter. From our first contact, Rachel exhibited professionalism, warmth, and a genuine love for animals that put us at ease. We wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to anyone seeking a dedicated and loving caretaker for their furry family members. She truly is the best!

    Rachel was fantastic from the get go, she came and met the cats before hand and understood what was needed and their favourite toys. While away without fail I had updates twice a day and a tonne of photos. I knew both my cats with in the best of hands and had an amazing time with Rachel. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking, thank you!

    Rachel is just great! This is the 2nd time that she has looked after our cat and if you want someone who cares as much, if not more, than you do then she is the cat sitter to get! No more catteries for me (or my cat) which I believe is better for all!

    Rachel was amazing - kept us updated with pictures on all three of our cats and went above and beyond to care for them - especially Otto who is very shy and needs medicating for his hyperthyroidism. Very kind and patient with them all. Will definitely use Rachel again.

    Perfect again! This is the second time Rachel has looked after our cats whilst we’ve been away. We’re so grateful, she’s always communicative and always spends time cuddling / playing with them in the mornings and evenings. We know they’re well looked after when we’re away. Thank you again!

    Rachel is an absolute star sitter! I was worried about going away for longer than usual and leaving my cat alone with only a couple of short visits per day but Rachel offered to go above & beyond to make sure my cat was cared for and looked after! Safe to say I’ve found the sitter I will use without concern many times and I strongly recommend her!

    Rachel was absolutely brilliant. Came to see us before the booking date to meet the cats and get to know them a bit. Whilst away she sent regular updates, photos and videos and stayed to play and cuddle them each time and provided updates if things / timings changed. Our cats love her and I’m sure they’ll look forward to when she’s back! Thank you!

    100% satisfied with Rachel. She bonded so well with our little girl which was shown in the lovely photos and videos we were sent. Our little cat enjoyed the playing and attention. We will definitely use Rachel again and have just cancelled the Cattery for our next trip in favour of Rachel. Cannot recommend highly enough!
