Experienced kind & loving catsitter

Hi! I’m Helen and I’d love to look after your cat. I’m based in Archway and High Barnet. I have been catsitting for 4 years on Cat in a Flat and now have lots of happy repeat cat customers! I have owned cats since I was 4 years old and regularly cat-sit for friends and family, as well as on this app. As I currently don’t have a cat after my own sadly passed away, I have a LOT of time and love to give your cats while you’re away and will treat them like my own. I’ve worked in hospitality for 9 years and currently work in publishing. I am based in both High Barnet and Archway, and I work from home 3 days a week, so please ask me about my availability!

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to leave things exactly as you left them and will make sure things are washed up, tidied away and that any messes are cleaned up! I know it can feel strange to leave your house and pet in the hands of somebody else so will always triple check doors, windows etc for peace of mind, and will treat your home with the respect I’d treat my own.

Helen has cat sat for us loads in the past. She is reliable and trustworthy. The number of cats and special diets have varied at every visit and she just goes with it. Would definitely recommend Helen and will hopefully be using her again in the future.

Helen was a fantastic cat sitter. We were very nervous to leave our anxious cat for the first time but Helen was great. Showed great patience and understanding in cats which was really reassuring. We enjoyed seeing the photos at the end of the day. We would definitely use Helen again and recommend her to everyone!

Helen was great, she looked after my two cats really well- both enjoyed lots of cuddles with her documented through daily pics throughout the week. Prior to travelling, I informed Helen that one of my cats had been unwell with a poorly stomach. Helen was completely unphased and cared for him with feeds, administering daily medication & keeping the litter tray/ flat nice & tidy. Communication & organisation was smooth, would definitely reccomend Helen and use her again myself! Thanks so much again from all of us! 😻😻

Helen was amazing! Thank you so much. We received updates and photos of Cabbage whilst we were away. The house and litter trays were spotlessly clean. Cabbage was happy and affectionate when we got back and knowing she was in safe hands allowed us to relax a little more while we were away. Thank you Helen 🌻

Schedule

I like to make sure to spend at least 30 minutes with your cats and I hate to leave them lonely, halfway through a play or still in need of attention so often stay much longer! I work from home 3 days a week and have a flexible schedule.

7 to 18 kg

Helen can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know any routines you have, favourite treats, toys, and ways to be petted, and generally what the way to your cat’s heart is!
