What a Team!

I’m so proud of the dedication, dependability, experience, professionalism and down-right animal loving-ness of our team in South London.

I’m Victoria and I set up Love Cats in 2009 and several of the team below joined me soon after that – thank goodness they did!

I’ve had so many comments, time and again, our brilliant cat sitters have gone above and beyond the expected and given so much more to ensure that your cat is safe and happy. And why? Because they love their job and they love cats!

You’ll meet your assigned sitter at the point of registration and from that time forward they will be your regular pet sitter, getting to know your cat (or other furry creatures) better and better each time they visit. We’ve had incredibly shy cats develop over time from hiding under the bed to welcoming our sitters and sitting on their knees. Such a great feeling.

If for any reason your regular sitter can’t make the visits, we have plenty of local back-up and the sitter covering the visits will meet you and/or your pet beforehand – if it can be avoided, we will never send in someone who hasn’t met your pet in person. All Love Cats pet sitters are DBS checked and fully insured.

Having grown up in the countryside with a wide range of animals from large horses to goldfish, several dogs and of course cats, I now live in Balham with just the one cat, Chi (that’s her in the photo above) … and three other animals (my husband Jack and our two boys).

Pamela

I have lived in south west London for over 30 years. I have owned four cats in my life. The first two were brother and sister, and were with me for their whole lives. The next two were 10 year old sisters, who came to me from battersea dogs and cats home where I regularly volunteer. They spent their later years with me. Now I love to spend as much time with my love-cats felines as possible.

What do they say ?? Never work with children or animals well I couldn’t be more in my happy place when working with either. It would be my pleasure and privilege to look after your cats and I can truly say that I would care for them as if they were my own.

As a child, I wanted to be a cat, as a teenager, I had pictures of cats on my wall instead of pop stars. I JUST ADORE CATS and I would like to adore your cats as well. I am an adult tutor, I live in East Dulwich and have done so for most of my life. I have a car and can be very flexible with my hours as I only work part-time.

I grew up on a farm so looked after multiple pets as a child including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, horses, goats and even a pet pig! I have lived in south London for over 25 years and now have a feisty rescue cat and a neurotic border collie as pets who are totally spoilt by the whole family! I regularly cat sit for neighbours and love spending time with their cats for a chat/play/cuddle. I’m also happy to water plants, open and close curtains and take in post so your house is looked after whilst you’re away.

I work part time and have been enjoying regular cat sitting in my spare time for over a year now. One of my oldest cat clients is approaching the grand old age of 21! I also just completed 5 months of volunteering as a Cattery Support Volunteer at Battersea Cats Home, which was lots of fun and provided me with some great experience. I have owned cats all of my life and have a lot of experience in cat care. Currently I have two lovely black cats at home, Byron (3) and Dee Dee (6).

Katherine

I was brought up on a farm in Devon with six cats (!) but I now live in the appropriately named CATford with my gorgeous George, who strolled into the house with me one evening and never left. A check with the vet showed he was unchipped and after a “chip & snip”, he became our new owner. Unfortunately, his position as Chief Rodent Officer is in doubt as he brings in more live mice than he takes out.

I’m a retired teacher and now, with more free time, I love the idea of making new feline friends.

Areas covered: Catford, Sydenham, Beckenham, Penge, Crystal Palace, Forest Hill, East Dulwich, Hither Green, Nunhead, Lee, Blackheath

Tracey

My name is Tracey and I’ve lived in SW London for the past 30 years. I’ve always had cats in my life. We had cats at home while I was growing up and then when I left home the first thing I did was visit Battersea Dog and Cat home. Mostly I’ve had rescue cats but 7 years ago I got a kitten for the first time and Poppy is utterly adorable. I can’t imagine a life without them. They are so intelligent, independent and loving and they definitely have a sixth sense. I’d be delighted to care for your cats.
