About Me

Cat sitter in London

I used to be a Special education/ Art teacher working in primary schools (that's why my I had the Enhanced DBS/ police check), I'm now a designer & work from home for half the week.

We couldn't have pets growing up, and I've mostly lived in rented London accommodation that doesn't allow pets since! I've survived off spending most of my childhood at friends houses, all of which had cats (Monty, Milly, Loki, and my oldest friends cat honestly named 'Puss'!)

My house now allows pets - I tried to work with the RSPCA as a foster carer last year but one of my flatmates were not entirely feeling the idea, so I decided it wasn't a good idea to bring a vulnerable cat/cats into the situation. So now I get my cat-fix here!

I once spent a day hand-rearing a 5 day old palm-sized orphaned kitten in a shelter I was volunteering at, it was incredibly cute.

I've been doing this for about 5 years now, mostly not actually through CIAF, I'm even on the second generation of cats for some people!

IMPORTANT INFO:

Morning visits are usually about 8am, and a few hours later on a weekend.

Evening visits I aim for between 6:30pm and 8:30pm, it depends on where I'm working on the day.

If you just want one visit it's most likely to be a morning one, unless I can take a coffee and read a book on a weekend then it might be later (depends whether your cat's into that!).

(all visit times are rough estimates unless we arrange something very specific!)

I send you pictures via whatsapp on every visit.

Sorry I have a tiny catchment area I'm just quite busy and would rather spend time with cats than walking to cats :P, I can still get double or even triple booked within a 0.1 mile radius in summer! (Although now I cap out at two sits at the same time)

Please note for new sitters I'd prefer it if it's at least 4 visits.

    Tom was amazing, great to get on with and looked after Khan perfectly! The little demon was super chill and clearly had a good time when I got back, thanks Tom!

    We’ve used Thomas previously and he got on very well with Stanley who can be a bit nervous of strangers. Not the case with Thomas. It was reassuring to leave Stanley in such good hands and to have the regular updates. Thomas stepped in to the breach too when our plans suddenly changed. Cheers mate.

    Thomas was fantastic. Stanley is quite a shy cat, but Thomas got him out of his shell and even got some pats in. He's loads of experience with different cats and I'd recommend him wholeheartedly. Already looking at dates for when we need him next.

    Tom is brilliant with Evie and very flexible to fit around our short notice plans. It is lovely to receive a picture of Evie every day whilst we are away and, most importantly, we know Evie is in safe hands. Thanks Tom

    Tom did a great job sitting for our two cats while we were on holiday. From his visit before we left I was confident they'd be well looked after and the daily updates and photos Tom sent showed I was right and that he really cared for them well. I will definitely ask Tom to take care of our cats if we go away again!

    Tom took such care of Claude and Cindy that I don't think they missed me at all. They were fed, watered and given loads of attention. The regular updates that they were ok eased the guilt and worry of leaving them for 5 days.

    Tom has been absolutely FANTASTIC with our 5 furry babies! He has gone over-and-beyond our expectations. Cannot recommend Tom highly enough.

    We are extremely pleased with his services. :) :) :)
