Pet care experience
Experienced & Insured Cat Sitter
I am a dedicated and experienced cat sitter based in Islington. I have been cat-sitting regularly since 2022 and have grown up around animals, caring for both dogs and cats. I am also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I treat every cat in my care with the same patience, attention and affection that I give to my own. I am fully insured as a pet sitter, so you can have additional peace of mind while your cat is in my care. I live in Highbury and offer home visits within approximately one kilometre of Highbury & Islington Station in any direction. If you are slightly outside this area, I may still be able to help – however, an additional £2.00 travel fee would apply per visit. What to expect from each visit: • Morning visits between 6:00 and 11:00 • Afternoon visits between 16:00 and 20:00 • Each visit lasts around 30 minutes I am happy to be flexible with times and can guarantee specific time slots if your cat needs medication or routine care at set times. During each visit I will: • Feed your cat and refresh their water • Clean the litter tray • Spend time playing, cuddling or simply keeping them company, depending on their personality and mood • Administer medication if required Play and enrichment are an important part of my visits. I know that for indoor cats especially, playtime provides valuable physical exercise and mental stimulation. I always make an effort to figure out each cat's favourite toys and style of play – whether that's chasing a wand, hunting a toy mouse or something completely unexpected! My aim is to give them a chance to properly engage, move around and burn off some energy, rather than my visit being just about food and litter. Of course, every cat is different and I always let them set the pace. Some want to play for most of the visit, some would much rather have cuddles, while shyer cats may simply appreciate calm company and time to become comfortable with me. I adapt each visit to what makes your cat happiest. After every visit I will send you a short update with a photo, so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, happy and well. I offer a free, no-obligation meet & greet in your home so we can meet, go through your cat’s routine and make sure I’m the right fit for you and your cat. If keys aren’t handed over during this initial meeting, I kindly ask that they are either dropped off at my home, or I can arrange an additional collection from you at my usual visit rate.

Ratings and reviews
Paula was an excellent cat sitter and I would love to use her again. She gave timely, detailed updates and I could tell she spent a lot of time playing with Becks. Thank you Paula!

Paula has taken a really good care of my cat many times. She is always playing with him and spending extra time. My cat is so comfortable with her. You can clearly see that Paula genuinely likes cats and knows how to take care of them.

Schedule
I work as a cat-sitter full time. I offer 30-minute morning and evening visits: • Morning visits between 6:00 and 11:00 • Afternoon visits between 16:00 and 20:00 I can usually guarantee a time if needed.
- CatsPaula can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know about your cat’s usual routine, personality and any medical or behavioural needs I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to know their favourite toys, how they like to interact, and whether there are any areas of the home they shouldn’t access. I’m very happy caring for cats with different personalities, including shy or nervous cats, and will always let them approach and interact at their own pace. If medication is required, please let me know the details in advance so we can discuss this before the booking.
