Cat Sitting in Richmond

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, and caring for pets has always felt natural to me. Growing up, our family home was full of life with dogs, and that experience shaped how comfortable and attentive I am with animals of different personalities. We had two dogs in particular who left a lasting impression on me. My sister had a cocker spaniel who was affectionate and playful, and later during my university years I had a Weimaraner—full of energy and always ready for adventure. He and I quickly bonded over our shared love of morning runs, so I’m especially confident handling active, high-energy dogs who need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. More recently, our family welcomed a cockapoo who still lives with my sister, and I’ve remained closely involved in caring for him whenever I visit. Overall, I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s going for a long walk, keeping them company at home, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My setup works really well for pet care — I'm based at home the majority of the week, with just one day out that can flex depending on what's needed. That means I'm available for boarding almost any day, weekends included. Plenty of calm company, no rush, no stress. I live in a third floor flat, so no escape risks and a nice calm environment away from the chaos of the street. The building has a fenced garden which is great for a bit of fresh air, and if your pet needs a longer stretch, Richmond Park is just around the corner — hard to beat. No other pets in the flat, so your cat or dog gets the full run of the place and all of our attention. My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves animals, so they'll have a little devoted fan following them around too.

“Adriana did an amazing job of looking after our cat. I felt happy knowing our cat was well looked after over the long weekend. 100% recommended.”

“I was traveling for my holiday and was looking for a cat sitter like was the first time I was living my cat Daisy with someone else that was not involved in her family or friends. I was away when my daughter Sara met Simon for presents him to Daisy. He was so sweet and nice with her with the first moment, Daisy loved him and was very helpful for me know that Daisy was with a sweet and sensitive guy like Simon. He was amazing, he sent to me a daily report on Daisy and a lit of beautiful pictures of her. He find a way to make her happy despite her family was away. I find Daisy in a magnificent mood, She was relaxed and happy, no evidence of stress or anything bad… I very recommend Simon . He is the right person to make your days better when you stay away form your little pets.. I will be in touch with him for certain the next time. Thanks Simon❤️👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Anya took great care of Biscuit. Super responsive, communicative and I felt good leaving Biscuit to be cared for by her. Biscuit can be challenging, especially with new people, so I really appreciated Anya following our needs and care instructions. We came home to Biscuit being very happy. Would recommend!”

His name was Jackie And he was a bithday gift from my parents for my 10 birthday. Those 16 years was the Best years and experience of my life for me and my family also. Since Now I cannot have one of my own ,im here to give lots of love and attention to yours. Im a very friendly and nice person. I am a trustworthy and dedicated, Im also responsive, communicative and easy to work with. I know your pet is your family So i hope you can trust me with him/her . Im gonna do my best. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. I can reliably fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I'm organised and committed to making sure every pet receives the attention, care, and routine they need. When caring for pets, I follow the routine and instructions provided by the owner to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, administering medication if required, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. In a pet owner's home, I make sure the pet's environment stays clean and familiar while respecting the owner's property.

About: Whether you’re away for the day, or perhaps a few nights, I make sure your pets stay comfortable, safe, and happy at home. Daily walks, feedings, playtime, and updates included. Peace of mind matters as much as good company. I offer dependable pet sitting with a flexible schedule that works around you and your pet’s routine. I’m a fitness enthusiast, so I’m often out walking local parks and nature trails, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy staying active and getting fresh air. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I adapt to what your pet needs. I keep things simple, safe, and stress-free. I work full time- but flexibly, affording me time before and after my working hours. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d expect from someone looking after mine. I follow your routines and instructions closely, so your pet feels secure and settled in their familiar environment. I keep things tidy, stick to agreed boundaries, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and rest they need. Whether it’s watering plants, collecting post, or keeping things in order, I’m happy to help with the little things that make your time away easier.

About: When I was little, I begged and begged my mum to let me have a dog. Reluctant to take on this responsibility, she asked the neighbour if I could walk his dogs - an elderly collie and a sweet little Westie called Oska - once a week. I adored them like they were my own, and this soon led to more dog-walking and pet-sitting for other friends and family, from feeding, brushing and cuddling cats to making sure the rabbits got their exercise without escaping the (fairly bunny-proofed) garden! I am experienced with different types of pets with different families, ages and personalities, so you can be sure your furry baby is safe with me :) I work flexibly from home so will have plenty of opportunities to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you are away :) I live in a suburban area with communal green space around my building and a larger park nearby, and always ensure my flat is a safe space for pets to explore. Considering many pets are sensitive to new people and environments, I always take the time to ensure they can happily get to know me and acclimatise to my flat. I am very adaptable and can follow specific requirements for pets whenever needed.

“Melek was really friendly & totally understands cats! She took good care of Orlando & sent me daily videos so I could see Orlando was happy & relaxed. Melek also fed the wild birds in the garden for me too! Thankyou”

“Frangelica went above and beyond, taking the best care of my girl! She was prompt, always included tons of updates and pictures, and kept me in the loop when Penny’s allergies were acting up. I’d trust her to take care of Penny any time!”

About: My love for animals is something I find difficult to fully express in words—it’s a deep, natural connection. I have always felt that animals respond to the calm, positive energy I bring, and I form bonds with them very quickly. Because I travel at times, I’m mindful about taking on long-term responsibility, which is why pet sitting is such a meaningful way for me to channel this love. Over the years, I have cared for many dogs—often volunteering to look after friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. This has given me experience with different temperaments, routines, and needs. Cats, especially, have been a constant presence in my life for the past decade. I understand their unique personalities, their need for both independence and affection, and how to create a calm environment where they feel safe. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my own cat, whom I supported through physical therapy and helped recover at the age of 12. That experience deepened my sensitivity, patience, and attentiveness, particularly when it comes to animals who need extra care. For me, animals are not just pets—they are a true passion. I approach every animal with genuine care, respect, and emotional awareness. As a drama teacher and theatre director, my weekdays are usually quite calm and creative when I am not on tour. I work from home, spending my time preparing classes, directing projects, reading plays, and developing new ideas. I enjoy having a flexible routine that allows me to focus deeply on my artistic work. One of the most important parts of my daily life is walking. I absolutely love long walks, especially with animals and in nature. Spending time outdoors helps me relax, clear my mind, and reconnect with myself after intense creative work. Animals and walking bring me genuine happiness, and choosing to spend my free time this way feels wonderful and meaningful to me. I live in a quiet apartment close to a park with my husband, my son, and my daughter who joins us during the summer. We are an animal-loving family. I enjoy long walks, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. .

“Grey seemed to have enjoyed his time and Feya was fed :) I will gladly reach out for more help with Grey&Feya timetables/availability permitting. Thank you Susi!!”

About: I studied animal medicine at university in China. I had a cute bichon for 16 years, and now I have a lovely schnauzer in UK. I am gentle to pets and good at taking care of them, like getting along with them, taking pills, taking shower, hair cutting, etc. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for boarding after 9:00 am. I may arrange it for you. Dogs all like going out and have fun, especially they need to pee and poo. This is a very important routine. I can make the dogs follow along. And I will take care of the safety of them

“In Hannah's absence her partner Johnny took good care of Orlando. He sent daily photos & took the time to play with Orlando & give her cuddles, it was great to see her sat on his lap looking happy & relaxed. Thankyou for taking such good care of her & for feeding the birds & squirrels too. Highly recommend 😻”
