About Me

Friendly Purr-mate in Abingdon :)

Easter Availablity: 18th - 21st April, one 2 visits/day booking available or one 1 visit/day booking available. All other days I am have availability for up to two 2 visits/day and one to two 1 visit/day.

General Availability: If you cannot find me, I may have my availability turned off to restrict bookings for certain periods. If you have booked with me before, feel free to message me on my mobile number to check if I can do your dates.

Location: From the start of May I will be only taking booking within the Oxford ring road as I am moving back to live in central Oxford.

Price information: Although the Living Wage and Oxford Living Wage has increased, I will be maintaining my current fees marked on my profile due to the majority of bookings occurring during Peak periods.

My starting hourly starting rate covers the living wage (/hour) calculated by the Living Wage Organisation and Oxford Living Wage (£12.60 for the UK outside of London; £13.16 for Oxford - 95% of London’s Living Wage). It also includes part cover of the insurance and website fee I pay Cat In a Flat. (Insurance + use of Cat In a Flat + use of Stripe is 19% of the price I show on my profile, so I receive 81% of the price you’re shown when you make a booking with me) Please see the Living Wage Org website for more information. For information on the Oxford specific living wage, please see: https://oxfordlivingwage.org/what-is-the-oxford-living-wage/.

If you have any other questions about fees or would like more explanation, please message me.

Hello, welcome to my profile. My name is Caroline and I have a huge love for cats, hence why I decided to become a cat sitter! Even though I have not owned my own cat before (due to my family unable to afford one and then unable to own one due to living in rented accommodation), I have regularly interacted with friend's cats as well as neighbour's cats throughout my life. I'm very keen to learn about each cat and their personalities as I find they are all a character each to their own.

I currently work part time while looking for a full time job. Due to the job market at the moment, this is one of my main sources of income.

Services I provide as a cat carer:

• Free meet ups before the booking takes place so you and your cat(s) can get to know me (optional but highly advised)

• Provision of fresh food and fresh water daily

• Cleaning of the cat bowls and litter trays according to your preferred methods

• Plenty of play time, fuss and cuddles

• Grooming (dry grooming with brushes)

• Daily photos and updates

Additional services: Watering and caring for plants (inside and outside the house). This is provided at no extra cost.

Areas Covered: I cover most of the Oxford city area but most of my clients have been from East Oxford as this is close to the house I first started cat sitting. All Oxford city addresses I can reach (or those within and just on the edge of the ring road), but please ask before booking so I can check if I can reach your home in a timely manner as I do not own a car and will either cycle or take a bus.

    Caroline was a great sitter. She was friendly and really communicative; she sent loads of photos and videos of our cats whilst we were away which is always reassuring. Would definitely recommend Caroline!

    Caroline did a wonderful job with Gorbeh, who was her usual sociable self when we returned home after two weeks of being fed and looked after so carefully. We are very grateful indeed!

    Caroline is excellent - she sends multiple updates (including photos and videos) at every visit and is clearly great with the cats. She's conscientious, professional and transparent. We'll be booking with her again :)

    Caroline was fantastic with my v. shy rescue cat, who she came to see once a day, and Teasel clearly loved spending time with her. I wasn't expecting my cat to be seen, but Caroline has the magic touch! She cares a lot for the cats she looks after, and is great at sending daily updates, which is much appreciated. I will definitely be booking again.

    We use Caroline regularly and our cat is very relaxed with her. Comforting to know that he is in safe hands and not stressed in a Cattery

    Caroline was absolutely fantastic and we would certainly use her again. She looked after Jennie really nicely, was great with communication, and sent us pictures and videos from each of her visits. In general she was really good to deal with.

    Caroline was extremely good with my two cats. The cats bonded with her really well during the week when I was away and I felt that the cats were in safe hands. Caroline sends me pics and videos on each visit and that was very reassuring to know that the cats are doing well. Would highly recommend and also definitely will use again.

    I was so worried about leaving the cats for 12 days but Caroline was great. She fed my two twice a day and sent me updates and videos so I knew everything was fine at home.

    Caroline was so good at putting my mind at ease when we were away. She kept us informed about the cats every day with pictures and videos. She also spent time with the cats so that they weren’t alone all day.

    Caroline is the absolute best! Our cat is too timid for catteries and we were nervous thinking of how to best look after him when we are away. With Caroline, we always come home to a really happy and relaxed cat. Caroline keeps us updated throughout our trips and we know Lewis is not only in great hands, but having a great time! Thank you Caroline!

    Caroline was fantastic. Updated me at each visit, cats loved her and she clearly enjoyed them. Cats were totally relaxed and happy when we got back from our 5 day trip. Way better for them than a cattery.

    This was our first try with a cat sitter and we were a little nervous as our cat needs medicine several times a day. Well, Caroline was the perfect choice. She spent a lot of time getting to know Lily and looked after her very lovingly. She always kept us up to date and sent us lots of videos and photos. We came home to a very happy and relaxed cat. I will definitely book her again. Thank you so much :).

    I would give Caroline a 10* rating if possible. She is simply amazing. Caroline spent hours playing with Oban and Ila. She took the time to gain their trust and made sure they got the most out of each visit. Very happy kitties on our return. Definitely book Caroline if you can!

    I highly recommend Caroline: very good communication before and during the cat sitting period, she took good care of my 4 months old kitten, who was clearly very relaxed around her, as shown by the pictures that Caroline sent daily. Also, Caroline was very flexible in accomodating my needs in terms of timing of visits. Thanks Caroline, looking forward to the next cat sitting!

    Caroline took lovely care of our two cats during an extended holiday. She texted photos and videos daily, always let me know when she'd be going by, and happily answered questions. I would happily recommend her to anyone.

    Caroline was great- came and met us and our cat before we left. She sent us photos and videos showing how happy Nelly was and we’ve come back to a happy healthy kitty. She also took good care of our home and left as she found it. Thanks Caroline!

    Caroline was great as always. She has been looking after my cats for three years now and I feel comfortable leaving her in charge. My cats love her. This time around she was especially helpful and understanding, when I needed to change my booking due to ever-changing Covid regulations. Thank you Caroline!

    Caroline did a great job of looking after my 2 cats while I was away - she spent time playing with them and grooming them as well as making sure they were well fed and the litter tray was clean. She also sent lovely photos and videos on each visit which left me feeling reassured that they were happy and cared for during my holiday - fantastic for peace of mind. I would certainly ask Caroline to look after my cats again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

    Caroline has been great, super friendly and very professional. This is my second time with her cat sitting, and Cous Cous loves her very much and they get along well. Caroline has kept Cous well-fed, and has helped with tidying up after the cat as well over the past week that I've been away. Caroline will always be my go-to for catsitting help! A real professional.

    What to say? Caroline was great! I enjoyed my vacation light hearted knowing my cat was in loving hands. Got regular pictures of her wondering and sleeping on Caroline's coat and got back founding her in super shape, happy and plump! Caroline was wonderful also in dealing with me, being fast in answering, kind and with attention to details. Definitely five stars!!
