Your cat’s second favourite human (I respect the hierarchy)

Hi, I’m Olga and my earliest memory is convincing my father to let me adopt a kitten from the street at the age of 3 :) I’ve had cats my whole life, and I honestly don’t remember a cat-free version of myself. All the cats I’ve had came with their own quirks, moods, and very firm opinions about how things should be done. The only thing they all had in common is that treats (as many as possible) were non-negotiable.

I'm a proud cat mom of two, but they’re staying with my parents in my home country at the moment, as I couldn’t bring them with me. I miss them a lot - and yes, I'm in desperate need of some furry company, which is a big reason why cat sitting feels so right for me.

I am a psychotherapist, so I’m naturally calm and attentive, and very respectful of cats’ boundaries. I don’t push interaction, I don’t take it personally if a cat needs time, and I’m perfectly happy sharing space quietly until trust builds. Whether your cat is social, shy or independent, I adapt to them rather than expecting them to adapt to me.

I take the practical side seriously too: feeding routines, clean litter, play time, medication if needed, and regular updates so you know how things are going. My goal is for your cat to feel safe and relaxed, and for you to feel comfortable leaving them in my care. And, admittedly, for me to spend some time in the presence of nature’s crowning achievement at least for a little while.

I reside in Woodberry Down N4, London, and happy to attend to your fur babies in the area.
