Highlights
Pet care experience
No drama. Just Purrs!
I fell into cat-sitting thanks to Birba, my parents' outdoor cat who showed me I had a real connection with felines. These days, I share my London flat with Gnocchi, my 4 yo tuxedo who keeps life interesting with his antics. I'm pet first aid certified* and genuinely enjoy spending time with cats, whether they're shy, playful, or somewhere in between. I treat every cat as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care I'll make sure your cat feels comfortable and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. *Pet First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) Certificate Cat Care Level 2 (VTQ) Certificate What I offer: 🐈⬛ Daily visits for feeding, litter changes, and fresh water 🧶 Playtime and cuddles (or respectful space for the independent types) 💊 Basic grooming and medication admin (pills/liquids - no injections) 📸 Regular updates with photos and videos, so you know they're doing well 🌱 Plant watering, mail collection, and general home security while you're away 🔎 Happy to share references from families I sit for regularly I understand every cat has their own personality and preferences. Just let me know what works best for yours, and I'll take it from there. I am based in West London but can easily reach Central, East, North and South London.

Safety, trust & environment
Since I only offer visits in owners' homes, I focus on keeping cats comfortable in their familiar environment. I always secure doors and windows properly, keep toxic plants or small objects out of reach, and follow any specific safety instructions you provide. Before the first visit, I like to go through your cat's routine, any house quirks (like tricky locks or temperamental heating), and get your vet's details just in case. I'm pet first aid certified, which gives me confidence handling minor issues, though I'd always contact you first if anything seems off. I respect both your home and your cat's space; I know that some cats warm up immediately, others need time. I let them set the pace while making sure they're fed, safe, and have clean litter. You'll get updates after each visit so you know everything's running smoothly 😌
Ratings and reviews
Samanta is so caring, friendly and trustworthy. Our cat Eric loved her company and she made us feel very reassured with the continuous photos and videos. Would 100% recommend her!
Sam was amazing with our Oliver. Oliver warmed up to her immediately. Communicated with us well and sent plenty of photos and videos!
Samanta was amazing with Anakin, he was very mischievous over the time we were away and Sam handled him so well. We came home to a very happy cat. I will defiantly be booking with her again! Thank you Samanta!!
Samatha was absolutely amazing! She sent regular photos and videos of my bebes from her visits. Both cats were well looked after, and played with, and cuddled. Will definitely be booking her again.
Sam is awesome, really down to earth, very caring with my babies and maintained great communication throughout 🫶🏻
Sam is super accommodating and wonderful with our cat every time. Thanks again!

Schedule
I am a freelancer, so I'm very flexible with visit times and can easily pop round for visits at (almost) any time of the day and evening. I can work from home too if you'd like. Evenings and weekends are also free most times for cat sitting 🐈 I tend to travel during shoulder seasons, which means I'm usually available throughout summer and December when most people need cat care :) My schedule allows me to adapt to what works best for each cat, whether they prefer early morning feeds or later evening visits.
