About Me

Mike’s Pet Care For All, Big and Small

Hello - cats have been part of my family since childhood - both my parents and grandparents had happy, healthy cats, so I've built up a lifetime's experience of giving them cuddles, feeding them their meals and treats, and playing with them and their favourite toys!

After 20 years working and volunteering for a range of charities, including The Children's Society, NCT, The Royal British Legion, and Age UK, I am now flexibly self employed. I live in North London, though am happy to cover other corners of this city when it comes to cat-sitting.

Among the areas I can cat-sit for you in London are: Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Barnet, Enfield, Waltham Forest, Islington, Westminster, City of London, Camden and Haringey boroughs.

You can expect photos and messages via Whatsapp or text (whichever you prefer) giving daily updates about all your pets. If it’s easier, I can communicate with you right here - on the Catinaflat site.

Obviously if you’re travelling long distance to a very different time zone, then I can send those updates at a time that won’t disturb your sleep!

Your pets can expect as much attention and play as they wish for during my visits. I’m always interested to know what their favourite treats or toys are!

More than happy to water any plants inside or out (at no extra charge, just to be clear).

I’m normally available at all times of year, including Christmas and other public holidays - please feel free to check my calendar for availability.

If you have any queries, please do feel free to get in touch.

Mike

    We have booked Mike multiple times now and he has always been reliable and helpful. Our cat has always been calm when coming back plus the place has always been kept tidy. Daily updates and quick responses kept my partner and me confident that everything is OK. Would definitely recommend!

    Once again Mike did a brilliant job of looking after our cat Morg whilst we were away on holiday. We left a rather sad Morg, housebound and in a cone collar due to wounds he had sustained in an accident. We need not have worried as Morg received excellent care from Mike and we were reassured by Mike's detailed daily updates. Thanks Mike!

    Mike was fantastic as always. Having recently adopted a new cat, we had some quite specific requirements for managing the old and new cats as they are still getting used to each other. He handled everything extremely well, and the cats were very relaxed and happy on our return.

    Excellent care of our cat and detailed daily communication from Mike as always whilst we were away on holiday. We were worried about our cat because of the heat wave. We needn't have worried as Mike had it all in hand and we couldn't have asked for more. Cat and owners very happy! Thanks Mike!

    Mike was excellent - clear and quick communication to make arrangements, and detailed updates on our cat's condition while we were away. We came home to a happy and chilled out cat, who obviously enjoyed the company and play time provided by Mike. Will definitely contact Mike again the next time we're planning to be away.

    Mike was once again a lovely sitter to Loki and Thor! Kept sending daily updates and made sure to play with them every day.

    It's almost sad to get back home and feel like the cats didn't miss us at all :)

    We were a bit nervous using a cat sitter for the first time, but we couldn't wish for someone better than Mike! From the first intro visit, we could tell that our cat Leo felt at ease with him. Mike has been reassuring us regularly with pictures of Leo and cheerful updates. He also helped us by keeping an eye on a minor house issue - thankfully nothing happened during our absence, but knowing Mike was there was very reassuring. We got back to a relaxed happy kitty and will definitely be reaching out to Mike again in the future!! Thank you Mike!

    What a lovely first experience of cat sitting we had with Mike, who took excellent care of our cat Morg (and our house and house plants) over a three week period. We were nervous to leave Morg for such a long period at first but were soon put at ease and we loved receiving Mike’s daily humourous updates with photos of Morg, which demonstrated that Mike and Morg clearly formed a great bond over the period. Thanks Mike!

    Mike was just fantastic. Available and super friendly. Our cat tends to be a bit skittish but Mike won him over quickly. We were nervous going away, but Mike really put us at ease with daily text updates and just taking great care of our cat. Can't recommend highly enough and we hope Mike is available the next time we go away.

    Mike is great! Great communication while we were away, sending daily updates and photos. Our usually shy and antisocial cat absolutely loved him and really seemed to come out of his shell around Mike which was great! Will definitely book again!

    Thank you to Mike, he communicated really well before our booking, was very approachable and flexible, and although we unfortunately had to cancel the sitting due to Tier 4, we would definitely go back to Mike if needing a cat sitter in future.

    We have had Mike help us with our cat Pixie once before and he did a great job. That's why we decided to book him again for a longer period of time and we were extremely happy with the way he looked after her. The daily reports with descriptions of her mood and activities left us confident that she is in good hands. and we came back to a happy and relaxed cat. Would highly recommend! Thanks, Mike!

    Mike did a great job taking care of Libby over the Christmas/New Year holiday! He sent detailed updates and photos every single day, and took the effort to get to know our shy cat and slowly bring her out of her shell.

    Mike is an excellent catsitter, both caring and considerate. He looked after our furball Blathnaid over Christmas and updated us with daily photos and news from her in our absence. We returned home to a happy, well-groomed cat. We would gladly recommend him to any cat and owner.

    We have now booked Mike twice to look after our two slightly nervous cats. He is efficient, quickly tunes in to what is required, is thoroughly reliable and has a very reassuring manner. His communication after each visit while we were away was a pleasure to receive. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

    Mike was a fantastic cat sitter and companion for my cat Pepper during the time I was away. I really appreciated the nice, detailed, daily messages on how she was doing and the photos. It was very reassuring knowing that he was taking such a great care of her. I came back to the happiest cat and a very tidy ''feeding station''! I can't recommend him enough! Thank you, Mike

    Mike was absolutely wonderful during our 6 day break, it was the longest time we had left our cats (and new kitten!) at home unattended. Mike sent regular thorough updates and reported any problems quickly, he kept the place clean and tidy after our kitten had a few toilet accidents, and really helped calm our nerves. Would highly recommend and definitely book again!

    This is the second time Mike has looked after our two cats while we've been on holiday and he's great at updating us on how they're doing, and taking care of them and giving them some love while we're away. We'd recommend him to anyone and came to very happy and contented cats.

    We went on holiday for two weeks and had the lovely Mike look after our two cats. We came home to two very happy and contented cats.

    I left my "little baby" under Mike's care for 5 days during the Christmas period and came back to a happy cat. I felt that Mike was very fond of cats, very polite and easy to be around. I know he played with my cat as she was very keen to play when I arrived home. I would recommend Mike to other cat owners and will be calling him again when I next travel. He sent me some photos of the visits, and if I would suggest one thing it would be for him to send those via WhatsApp at the time he's visiting so the owner gets assured he's with the pet.
