Welcome to Whisker Watch, your trusted pet-sitter in North West London.

My name is Emeline and I offer a tailor-made pet-sitting service to look after your purry friend(s) while you are away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your cat(s) home alone and how difficult it is to trust someone who can look after them properly.

I am an animal lover and a proud owner of two Maine Coons, Gaspard and Melchior. They are members of the family and have been with us for eight and seven years respectively. They travelled with us from Paris to London about five years ago. They have their own dietary requirements and (very different) personalities and spend most of their day with me in my study when I am working (I am also a freelance translator).

A common misconception is that cats act aloof and are fiercely independent, but that is far from the truth. Every cat is unique and they all need attention and affection. I know too well what it is like to interrupt my day-to-day activities to give one (or both) of my cats the attention they need (scratching their back or belly, letting them jump and lie down on my knees, or just interacting with them), or take them to the vet if they get ill (unfortunately it does happen once in a while)…

I also know how important it is to have a routine set for your furry companions, which is why I offer a bespoke service to cater to their needs.

SERVICE OFFERED ​ 1. An initial visit (free of charge) to meet your feline companion(s) and find out about their needs and requirements (special diets, medicine, etc.).

1. One visit or two visits per day (each of 30 min.) to check on your cat(s), give them food and water, clean their litter tray(s), attend to any of their needs, and spend some time with them (I can stay a little longer if they want me to!).

2. A text and a video at each visit to give you an update and set your mind at rest.

3. One last visit (free of charge) when you get home, to give you your keys back and discuss how everything went.

I charge a daily rate of £18 for one visit or £30 for two visits and cover the following areas: Queen’s Park, Kensal Rise, Maida Vale, Willesden Green, West Hampstead and Hampstead.

I can also pick up your mail and water your plants if you would like me to.
