Lou based in SE London, caring for &keeping you in touch with your cat/s while you're away

Hi I’m Lou, an animal lover, gardener &photographer. Based near Brockley station& Hilly Fields park. I’ve always enjoyed having cats and over the years a variety of other creatures in my life (rats, chinchillas, chipmunks, geckos, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs, parrots...) so, I’m experienced with various feeding and cleaning routines. Also happy to look after your plants in or outdoors. Our last cats were Blue &Lady, brother and sister who were rehomed with us when their owners moved abroad in 2008. I felt Ladycat was a big part of my care team during cancer treatment back in 2018, proving cats are the best therapists! I have been called upon informally to look after my neighbours and family's pets whilst they're away. I have a current DBS certificate. I’m a keen photographer, in the process of gaining formal qualifications in this field. Happy to be sending you photos/videos& updates on visits. I’m currently land-based in Brockley, living with my teenage son and a Chilean rose tarantula called Debbie Hairy. I say currently landlocked, as plan to have a boat on the London canals and of course boat life will need, more cats! Being self-employed selling vintage clothes& jewellery means I can be flexible with time& timings spent visiting your cat/s. They will have my undivided attention& affection! I'm looking forward to meeting you and getting to know your cat/s, happy to have a free meet and greet before confirming the booking. Thanks &all the best 🌻

I love to give affection &play, I’m also good with shy or more nervous cats. I’m a keen gardener, indoors and out, so can look after your plants if needed. In the past I’ve used cat sitters myself, especially appreciating the regular updates and photos, knowing our cats were happy and our home secure. I look forward to providing this service to you whilst getting to know you and your cat/s.
