Hello, I am 33 years old dog obsessed I live with my boyfriend in Southeast London close to beautiful parks and riverside. I am a dog and cat lover since a was a child.

House Sitting • May 27, 2026

Rita stepped in at the last minute to house-sit and watch our cat, Loki, following a hospital visit he had. Since we weren’t in town, Rita had to administer medicine (pills) and watch to ensure Loki did not have a repeat incident. We were nervous to leave our cat and home in the hands of someone we had never met before, but Rita did a fantastic job! She provided us regular updates on Loki, responded to our questions quickly, and left our house in better shape than when we’d handed over the keys originally! I couldn’t recommend her enough, thanks Rita!

I have hired Rita multiple times now. She is superb with our cat, our home, and us. My cat totally adores her.

Rita was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our 20-day trip! From the very beginning, she was warm, reliable, and clearly experienced with cats. She took excellent care of Freya—administering her medications as advised, keeping up with her routines, and most importantly, bonding with her beautifully. Freya took to her instantly. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Rita also kept the house spotless and even left us a lovely plant as a thoughtful surprise. Her presence made our travels truly worry-free. I would highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely kind cat sitter—and would absolutely have her back again!

We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Rita’s good hands, Rita sent us daily updates and my dog made himself right at home. We will definitely ask Rita to look after Marley again soon.
