Hello, cat parents of London, I’m Julia! I’m in my early-30s, live in Hackney and co-own an audio recording studio based in Dalston. When I'm not cat-sitting, I work as a production freelancer in the film and video industry and am often getting involved in a variety of creative projects. I have always had a cat growing up (lived with 6 fluff-balls at one point!). I adore cats and have been known to be something of a 'cat-whisperer' since I was a child. I am the kind of person who stops by every cat on the street to have a chat with them. :) I am a proud cat-parent of a beautiful and very fluffy 2 year-old ginger boy, Leo! He was raised with lots of affection is now a very cuddly and chatty kitty who loves people and attention. He is an outdoor/indoor cat, so I am used to looking after the kitties who need a little extra attention and some exercise outdoors. Happy to do feeding and water changes, litter-cleaning, tidying up, administering oral medication and injections with proper instruction, (as I also have experience looking after cats with special needs.) Your cats are guaranteed playtime, cuddles and personalised approach to every furry Client. I will feed and water your kitty-cat and make sure it has lots of attention, play-time, strokes and treats! In addition to drop-in services, I also offer overnight care for those times when you need to be away, ensuring that your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I will make sure your pets' routines are maintained, from feeding to playtime. As an experienced pet sitter and a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping your pets happy and healthy while you're away. I know how much us cat owners can miss our babies when we're away from them, which is why I prioritise open communication, so I will send you daily updates with photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. :) I am also happy to water your plants while you are away, if required 🌿 If you're in need of someone who will treat your beloved pets like family and are interested in my services, please feel free to message me. I cannot wait to meet your precious furry friends! :)

Factors that impact pet sitting cost

Planning a trip as a pet owner? Hiring a pet sitter is an excellent solution for care for your furry friend. Before you hire a pet sitter, it's important to understand the factors that affect the cost of their services:

  • Time and Duration - Pet sitters usually charge either a daily or hourly rate. The length of time you require care for will affect your final costs. Many pet sitters will also offer package deals and discounts for longer bookings.
  • Your pet’s needs - Consider the frequency of your dog's walks, or your cat's feeding schedule. Different services will have different prices. Some pet sitters also offer extra services like administering medication, grooming, or even behavioral training, which may increase the cost.
  • Location - The cost of pet care will range across the country city-by-city depending on the cost of living in your city area.
  • Years of Experience - The level of experience of the pet sitter will also have a factor on pricing. More experienced sitters, with professional backgrounds in behavioural or medical training may charge a higher rate, than a less specialized sitter.
