About Me
Cat sitter in London
Hi, my name is Dorothea and I am originally from Italy. I've been living here in London for the past 14 years, where I work as a freelance English teacher.
I joined Cat In A Flat about 9 years ago when I was studying for my masters and had a lot of free time. I currently live with two cats, but back then I didn't live with any and I missed my cat in Italy quite a lot. So I thought of signing up for cat-sitting to help people but also to enjoy some time with cats.
I miss and love my Italian cat very much, her name was Buffy and she was the love of my life. She past away last year at the age of 19! I come from a family of cat lovers, in fact I have been surrounded by cats all my life.
I have an infinite love for cats, I admire their personality, I'm fascinated by them and I respect them. I have done some volunteering back in my country for animal protection organisations and I contribute monthly to different associations that safeguard animals. I have personally rescued many cats who have lost their mums and I always bring some food in my bag just in case I find a little angel in the streets.

LONDONIt’s the second time we book Dorothea and again she’s been wonderful with Kita and Boo - she’s really reliable, took care of them exceptionally and we found our cats super happy after 2 weeks we’ve been away. She sends daily updates so you can have peace of mind! We’ll definitely book again Dorothea as we know that when we are away our cars are in safe hands!

LondonDorothea was the best cat sitter we could ever wish for. She went above and beyond and perfectly handled a very stressful situation with our cat’s emergency visit to the vet, took care of him and kept us up to date every day. Great communication skills, friendly and we can’t recommend her enough. Our cat was relaxed and probably hasn’t noticed we were gone for a week ;)

LONDONDorothea is a lovely cat sitter. She's extremely kind and you can tell she has a true love for cats by the way she looks after them. We found our Kita and Boo super relaxed and we couldn't be happier. She sends daily updates/pictures and always very responsive if you need to get in touch. We are happy we found someone like her to look after our cats and we'll definitely get in touch again in future. If you are looking for the best cat sitter, she's is the one!

LondonDorothea is simply the best cat sitter we've ever had, she's been looking after Winston when we go away for the past couple of years now and we couldn't feel more confident about going away knowing Winston is in such good care. She spends real quality time with him, she can give him all the care he needs, we get daily updates, it's perfect!

LondonDorothea was simply amazing - she communicated with us on a daily basis with updates and cute pictures/ video clips of our cat Kiko which was comforting to see that she was being well taken care of. We returned home to a happy and well looked after cat and couldn’t recommend her services enough. She is clearly a massive cat lover. Thanks for going above and beyond! Luke & Beth

LONDONThis is my second time using Dorothea and she was excellent again. She was really flexible, even collecting the keys from a friend, and made the whole process stress free.

She stayed in our flat for a few nights and kept in touch with daily updates (and cute photos) of our kitten Theo. We came home to a very happy little guy who had a great weekend with her. I couldn't recommend Dorothea more!

Totally reliable and we came home to a very chilled cat, I'm not sure he noticed we were gone for 2 weeks!
