About Me

Cat sitter in London

Hello, my name is Helen, and I love cats!

As a serial renter and frequent mover it's been many years since I've had a cat of my own to cuddle. I currently live in Hackney but my work as a freelance musician takes me all over London. I also do some other work from home, and as such I'm super flexible and will take any excuse to get out of the house during quiet periods!

COVID safety: I'm fully vaccinated, but I will wear a mask in all indoor interactions with you, for your comfort. I am willing to meet outside if you would prefer not to be indoors, but will ask that you leave very clear instructions (and/or a video).

I'm great with playful cats but particularly good with shy ones! Several years ago I was a weekly volunteer at the Lort Smith Animal Hospital in Melbourne, a charity vet practice & adoption clinic. I worked especially with the cats, feeding them, cleaning out their cages, but also giving them some much-needed TLC. Many animals came from difficult backgrounds and were shy or mistrusting but I can work my charms on just about any cat!

I've had two very important cats in my life: Ginger (the most adventurous cat I've ever met - he used to follow my parents on walks) and Shadow (the absolute opposite - if a leaf fell to the ground near him he would run a mile!). I'd love to get to know your feline friend and be your trusted cat sitter!

When taking care of your cat I will:

  • Arrange a free meet & greet session to meet you and your cat

  • Provide fresh food and water for your cat daily (or twice daily)

  • Enjoy plenty of play time and cuddles

  • Send daily photos and updates

  • Provide other assistance (e.g. collect mail, draw curtains, water house plants etc) within reason

If you have more than 2 animals, or if they require attention more than twice a day (i.e. food or medication - all cuddles come free!), I will ask you to add a 25% surcharge to my standard fee, including for overnight stays. This ensures I have the time available to give your cats the attention they require.

    Helen is the absolute best. I was away for a few days and she stayed over, kept me updated with lovely photos and really bonded with little Rocky. Totally recommend Helen, caring, kind, attentive and a wonderful human being!

    Helen was great, came and visited before and then came and collected keys. Sent daily photos. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with her!

    Helen looked after our cats and stayed in our house for just under two weeks. She was fab at communication and letting us know the little guys were ok with plenty of pictures. Our house was immaculate on our return. Would definitely use her again if she’d have us!

    Helen was an excellent cat sitter! She looked after my cat for 2 nights in my flat and I couldn’t be happier. She was extremely professional, made time to meet me and my kitty before the booking and I came home to a happy kitty and a tidy home. Highly recommend!

    Helen looked after Anthony for a weekend while we were away - communication was great, and we came home to a tidy house and a happy cat. Helen is great!

    Helen's care for our Marsha was wonderful and she looked after her and our house perfectly. She sent us updates daily and l think she has the magic touch as Marsha now is calmer and friendlier than before! I enthusiastically recommend her.

    Our second time using Helen and again we were really pleased. Our cat seems to really like her and has been really happy and relaxed both times we've come back after Helen was here. She also took excellent care of the flat and is very thoughtful about mask wearing when you meet up to get keys etc. Thanks again Helen!

    Helen was THE most wonderful sitter. She came to meet the cats and took on board all our many instructions! She handled complicated cat medication needs with confidence. She gave us regular updates whilst we were away for 10 days allowing us to really relax knowing the cats were happy and that she was with them overnight. Helen also managed a very sick cat and lots of cleanups, and was very patient and understanding. We came home to very happy cats and a spotless house which was lovely. We cannot recommend Helen enough and would love to have her sit again.

    Helen is fantastic! She took great care of our three cats and tortoise, and even the most timid of the kitties was happily accepting pats in no time at all. This is no mean feat - new people in the house don’t usually even get a glimpse of her until they’ve been regular visitors for a while. Helen kept me regularly updated and sent pictures to let me know everything was fine, and arranging the whole thing was a breeze. The cats were very happy and relaxed when I got home; it was as if i had never been gone! Helen is also very covid aware and made me feel very comfortable around all of that too. Would happily recommend to anybody and I’m definitely going to book her again! Thanks so much Helen, you’re a total star! X

    Helen stayed for five nights to look after our cat and was brilliant! My first time using this website and it was a really good experience. She’s very reliable and flexible so things like sorting keys out in advance was easy, and she sent lots of cute pics and updates so we could see they were getting along great. It was a pleasure to have Helen stay and I felt totally comfortable and relaxed on holiday knowing our cat was in safe hands with her!

    Helen is super organised, thoughtful and relaxed; we are always so happy to book her and to know our Bengal is being so well looked after.

    Helen was brilliant with my cats. I could tell they would be in safe hands after our first meeting. One of my cats is on medication and very hesitant to take his tablets but Helen was great. She was also very quick to respond and I really appreciated the regular updates. I came back to two very happy critters!

    Helen was great - Anthony was slightly anxious and she looked after him brilliantly and kept us posted about how he was going. We came home to a happy cat!

    Helen was a perfect cat sitter - she made sure Earl had plenty of food, let him out into the garden and sent us picture updates to let us know how he was getting on. Will definitely book her again in the future!

    Helen has the warmest, down to earth and lovely energy. My kitten Jax took no time to warm to her and she never failed to send photos and daily updates with a description of how he was doing. Her passion for felines and her grounded, reliable nature soothed my worry and anxiety about being away. She gave me the relief I needed and I knew that her “all” was going into every moment spent with Jax. Joy and love in their totality is what makes you feel at ease that your pet is receiving the utmost love in your absence and Helen delivers this, without a doubt.
