About Me

Cat sitter in Redbridge

WHY SHOULD YOU PICK ME TO LOOK AFTER YOUR CAT? I’ve always been a cat person ever since a little girl. I've looked after many cats, some my own, others family's and others friends. I don't know what it is but even the most difficult of cats after a period of time have warmed to me and often will sit in my lap and let me groom them. I have been cat sitting for about 7 years.

In the past I've raised money for different cat charities, I ran the London Marathon to raise money for Cats in Need, Menorca which is a charity that neuters, feeds and cares for the feral cats of Menorca. http://www.catsinneedmenorca.org/

I visit Menorca regularly and had an adopted cat called Brutus who had a knack of knowing when I was there and would always appear. Unfortunately he's no longer with us and i miss him dearly.

I have a rescue cat that I brought back from menorca. And I find her such a joy. She has my partner wrapped around her tiny paw!

I am doing cat sitting alongside my other job working at John Lewis part time. I will take care of your cat in your absence according to your instructions and will send you a daily photo and update.

    Helen was extremely flexible in her visits to our cat, and popped by with ample time before her visit to go through what was needed. She sent me timely updates, photos, and asked very good questions to ensure my cat was happy whilst we were away! Thank you Helen!

    Many thanks to Helen, very reliable and let me know how Rodney was getting on with regular updates. Thanks for being so caring, even bringing a brush to brush him as mine had gone walk-a-about

    Helen was fantastic. She’s very kind and gentle and our two cats really enjoyed their time with her. She sent photos and updates each day which was fabulous and on days when she thought they would enjoy the outdoors she suggested a second visit to enable this. I would definitely recommend.

    Helen was absolutely fantastic!! We will definitely be asking her back to cat-sit again in the future.

    She was really patient with our shy cat, Mr Pickles, who doesn’t usually emerge for strangers. Helen was so patient with him and eventually he came out of his shell which was just lovely to see.

    Can’t say thank you enough!

    Helen was easy to chat to and arrange things with, sent pictures and looked after our cat well. Even though it was just a one-off quick visit, we felt he was in very good hands!

    Helen is a very reliable & trustworthy soul, & was able to adapt to a couple of unforeseen circumstances that happened while we were away. We could see how happy & comfortable our Scarlett was in the daily photos. Helen did everything we asked & more. Very safe & trusting pair of hands, who truly loves cats. Have no hesitation in recommending Helen

    Helen was quick to respond and it was really straight forward arranging with her to come and meet my fur baby and hand over the keys

    We were extremely pleased with Helen. Our cat Dobby is normally very wary with strangers, but from the first time Helen came to see us our concerns went away as Dobby took to her immediately (probably helped by being given treats!). Helen kept us updated with photos via WhatsApp, and we would not hesitate to recommend her.

    My second time using Helen, and she was fantastic again. I was away for nearly 2 weeks and was running low on food by the end, and Helen went out to buy Arthur’s favourite for him. Helen really cares about your cats welfare, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her

    Helen is as good as the reviews say. She really takes the time to adapt to your cat and get to know them. Arthur is nervous of strangers which made me nervous of leaving him with anyone, but by day 2 he looked happy and chilled in all the photos. A great relief and weight off my mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Helen again.

    Helen takes very good care of our cat Vinny, he is much calmer when we come back after being away now. I do reccomend her :)

    Helen was a very good cat sitter. She came round to explain everything and meet smokey, our cat. While we were away she sent us daily updates and photographs and clearly spent a lot of time playing with smokey and looking after him. We were very happy with her, and more importantly smokey seemed to be too :)

    Helen was fantastic. She met both Bonnie & Elvis prior to watching them and I knew they’d get on well. I received plenty of photos while I was away and they both looked chilled out and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Helen round again.

    Thank you so much to Helen for looking after my cat, Olive. This is the first time I had left her with someone I didn’t know and chose Helen based on the excellent reviews she had from previous clients. Helen put my mind at ease and took great care of Olive. She went over and above and sent me lots of photos everyday, which I really liked. I will definitely book Helen again.

    Helen was absolutely great with our cat Moo. She came and met Moo before so that she got to know her and also asked about what else we needed. She gave us constant updates about Moo with plenty of photos. She even came round an extra time just to check that Moo was ok as she was worried about her. We came home to a happy and very healthy looking cat. Helen is definitely a person who loves and knows cats so would not hesitate in having her look after Moo again. Thoroughly recommend Helen!

    We came home to a very content and happy cat after a weekend away. We loved recieving updates after each visit. We will certainly book Helen again as our little one warmed to her straight away at the initial introduction!

    Helen is a really nice person and she looked really well after our cat while we were away. Our cat was really relaxed and settled when we came back and Helen provided a lot of pictures and updates on her visit throughout, which was lovely. I will certainly ask Helen again to look after our cat when we are away next.

    Helen has cat-sat for our two kittens several times, and we are so happy with how well they all get along. Helen is very communicative and we feel very reassured receiving texts and photos to update us about the kittens while we are away. The kittens clearly adore Helen and they are always very relaxed and happy when we return. We couldn't recommend Helen enough. Thanks Helen!

    Helen is my trusted cat sitter and I have booked her more times than I can count. She is great at updating me and sending pictures and videos. She is definitely a cat lover and I think she enjoys hanging out with Ziggy (almost) as much as I do. I would absolutely recommend her!

    Helen is an excellent cat sitter, we were very happy to leave our babies with her. We've now left London and miss having Helen as our regular sitter :-(

    Helen was the best cat sitter we could hope for! The kittens were clearly very well looked after, we got plenty of lovely pictures of them during our weekend away and they seemed very happy and well looked after when we got back. It’s also really nice having someone from the local area who clearly loves cats coming in to your home and looking after them. I would recommend her to anyone!

    This was our second booking with Helen, she kept us up to date with all of Cocos antics with pictures and videos. We could relax on holiday knowing she was happy and having a great time.

    This is the second time I've used Helen to look after my cat Minnie while I've been away from home. I liked the updates on what Minnie was up to. I particularly appreciate that Helen adapts to Minnie's mood and will play with her when she wants it but leave her be if she's in one of her I want to be alone moods. Helen also disposed of a dead mouse that Minnie had despatched, which I was very pleased about!

    It's the first time I've used a cat sitter. Helen is clearly a cat person who had my cat Minnie, the feline equivalent of a moody teenager, lying in her arms purring her head off shortly after meeting her. Helen took the time to engage with Minnie and play with her on her visits. The photos I received showed me Minnie was very relaxed and happy around Helen and clearly was not missing me in the slightest. You need to bear in mind that Helen may have other cats at various locations in east London that she needs to visit, but she was very accommodating when discussing timings of visits. I'm going on holiday at the end of July and Minnie will be pleased to know I'll be asking for Helen to look after her again.

    We were very happy to have Helen look after us while our mum and dad went off without us. She visited us twice a day, insisted on taking lots of pics of us to send to our folks(they are so demanding our parents) . The good part was lots of TLC, food and treats which we like very much. Yum Yum. Thanks Helen we miss you. Pumpkin & Phoebe. Meeow...

    Helen looked after our two cats Alice and Rose over the weekend and we're really pleased. We came home to two very happy girls! Helen was really easy to communicate with, and was great with both of the cats. She sent us a photo of them every day that we were away which we loved. Thanks Helen!

    We came home to a happy spoiled little madam! Helen took excellent care of her and sent us regular pictures and updates which let us relax and enjoy our time away. I would recommend her to anyone who has nervous or shy kitties, she charmed Coco in the first day which is quite unusual!

    Helen was an absolute star, available at short notice to feed my 20-month-old ginger girl. Shelly is usually very shy with strangers but really took to Helen, sitting on her lap and allowing herself to be brushed. Thanks so much!

    Helen was wonderful with our cat Juno. Juno can be shy with strangers but Helen had a real way with her and our cat took to her immediately. Helen was reliable & quick to respond to messages, even though our booking was quite late notice. The twice daily photos & updates she sent made me feel reassured that Juno was having a good time, which is just what I needed. She had excellent attention to detail. We have come home to a very happy & relaxed cat. An excellent service, would recommend to anyone in the area & we will definitely ask Helen again next time we go on holiday!
